24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Commerce City, CO
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
Why is the equipment upstairs?
Because there is nowhere else on a plan like this. The houses have no basement and a small footprint, so the closet that would have been in a cellar is on an upper floor instead. It works perfectly well until something fails, at which point everything it holds is above the rooms people use.
What does a tank failure up there involve?
The floor structure under the closet and the ceiling below it, on both counts. The volume arrives at once with no drain in the closet, so it goes into the floor immediately and appears downstairs within minutes. The ceiling is opened along the run and the cavity between the two is where the work is.
Does the dry climate finish this quickly?
The rooms yes, the cavity no. With fourteen inches of rain a year the air takes moisture readily, so the surfaces and the framing come down fast once they are open. The trap is closing the ceiling on that, because the inside of the floor is still behind the face by a day or two.
