24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Savannah, GA
The opening is closed, the water is extracted, materials floodwater touched come out, and the structure is dried and rebuilt in that order. The opening is closed first, with tarps or board-up, so the building stops taking on water. Floodwater is extracted, and the porous materials it touched come out rather than dry, since it crossed ground outside. The structure is dried and re-read, and the rebuild waits until the readings and the roof both allow it.

Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup
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
The crawl space was pumped but the ground is still wet. What now?
The soil is dried as part of the job rather than left to settle on its own. With a high water table, the ground under a shallow crawl space holds moisture and gives it back to the joists above for weeks. A ground cover and moving air are used to cut that off, and the framing is read until it holds before the space is closed.
Water got into the ductwork under the floor. What happens to it?
It is opened and inspected before it is run. Duct that has held water is checked by the appropriate trade, and internally lined sections that stayed wet are generally replaced rather than dried, because the lining holds moisture where nothing can reach it. Running the system first would move that moisture through the whole house.
How long is the wet season a factor here?
From roughly midsummer into early autumn, with August the heaviest at over seven inches. During that stretch the outdoor air is warm and already carries a lot of moisture, so opening a building up achieves nothing and dehumidification does the work. Jobs started in that window are scheduled with longer equipment time from the outset.
