24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in West Covina, 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 a patio cover damage the main roof?
Through where it is fixed. The cover hangs off the fascia board at the roof edge, screwed into it along its whole length, and it is pitched so gently that a heavy storm backs water up at that top edge. It sits against the fascia and soaks into the rafter ends.
Why does it only happen in a big storm?
Because the fall is just enough for ordinary rain. Light rain runs off and nothing happens, and a February downpour arrives faster than the cover can shed it, so water stands along the top edge for as long as the storm lasts and finds the screw holes.
Does the cover have to come off to repair the fascia?
Usually a length of it does, which surprises people. The rafter tails and fascia behind it cannot be replaced with the cover hanging on them, so a piece of work that looks like trim repair involves taking down and refitting part of the structure.
