24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Florence, KY
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 can two houses on one street be so different?
Because one is standing on the original hillside and the other on what used to be a ravine. The grading took the tops down and pushed them into the hollows, so within a single block there are lots on solid cut ground and lots on twenty feet of fill.
Does water still follow the old hollow?
It does, under the ground. The ravine was filled but the drainage course it carried did not go anywhere, so water moving down the hillside still travels along that buried line and arrives beneath whatever was built on top of it.
How would anyone know which they are on?
The lie of the surrounding land usually tells it, and the county's old contour maps settle it. It is worth knowing before spending on drainage, because the right answer for a house on cut ground is not the right answer for one on fill.
