24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Allentown, GA
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.

Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading.
Frequently asked questions
What is kaolin clay?
A soft white clay, mined commercially across this part of the state for paper and ceramics. Where it has not been dug it lies a short way beneath the sandy topsoil, and it is about as impermeable as ground gets.
Why does the ground drain and then stop?
Because the two layers behave in opposite ways. Rain goes into the sand at the surface readily, which makes the ground look well drained, and then it reaches the kaolin and cannot go any further, so it fills the sand from the bottom up.
What does that mean for a septic field?
That it has very little depth to work in, which is worth knowing here. A field disposing into a couple of feet of sand over a seal fails in a wet February however well it was built, and that is a site condition rather than a fault.
