24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Pomona, CA
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows. Free water is pumped and extracted first, from hard floors and out of carpet and pad, before it climbs further into drywall and subfloor. The wet edge is metered and marked while the water is fresh, and drying equipment goes in the same day, because extraction is where the size of the job is decided.

Frequently asked questions
How does water get in at a heater like this?
Down the flue, usually, at the point it passes through the roof. The unit sits in an opening cut through a partition wall with a metal flue rising from it, and that flue is a penetration like any other. When its flashing goes, water runs down inside the pipe to the unit.
Why is it not noticed sooner?
Because these are off for most of the year here. With a short heating season the unit sits unused from spring to late autumn, so nothing about its performance changes and nobody looks at it. The water has usually been coming down the flue for a season before anyone knows.
What gets opened around the heater itself?
The wall around the unit, because the opening it sits in interrupts the framing and the water has been running into that. The unit comes out, the studs and plates either side are read directly, and the flue is dealt with above before anything goes back.
