24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Milford, 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
How long does one of these batteries last?
Three to five years in a basement, and less if it has cycled a few times. They are lead-acid batteries sitting in a cool damp room, and they lose capacity whether they are used or not. A system installed with the house and never touched since is almost certainly not going to run a pump for long.
How can it be checked?
By unplugging the charger and running the pump on the battery for a few minutes, which is what most units are designed to allow. If it cannot manage that on a dry day it will not manage a storm. Doing it each spring before the heavy rain is the sensible time.
Is a water-powered backup worth considering instead?
Where the house is on a municipal supply, it is worth knowing about. It runs off water pressure rather than stored power, so there is no battery to age, and it keeps working as long as the mains are up. It uses a good deal of water while running, which is the trade.
