24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Nampa, ID
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
How can an outside tap flood the inside of a house?
Because the valve is not where the handle is. These taps close a foot or more back inside the heated wall so the exposed part can drain and not freeze, which works as long as nothing is attached to it. When the outer section cannot drain, the split happens at the valve, inside the framing.
Why does it only show up in the spring?
Because the ice is what is holding it closed. The split happens in a hard freeze but the water does not go anywhere while the section is frozen, so nothing is seen. It appears the first time the tap is opened in warm weather, or when the freeze lets go, often months after the damage was done.
What is opened to deal with it?
The wall on the inside, below and around where the tap passes through. The water is released at the rim and runs down inside the bay, so the extent is downward rather than around the fitting. The board comes off along that run and the framing and insulation are read directly.
