24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Bristol, CT
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
What is trap rock?
Hard volcanic rock, forming the ridges that run through this part of the state. It is dense and essentially impermeable to water, and in these neighborhoods it lies under a thin covering of soil rather than deep down beneath the surface.
Why does the ground flood so quickly?
Because there is so little of it. A foot or two of soil over rock holds very little water, so an autumn storm fills the profile within the first hour and everything after that runs across the surface, arriving at buildings in quantity.
Does a soakaway work here?
Almost never, and it is worth establishing that before paying for one. A pit dug into thin soil over trap rock has nothing to discharge into, so it fills and stays full. Drainage has to be piped to an outlet rather than put into the ground.
