24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Waltham, MA
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
What is a single-ply rubber roof?
One large sheet of membrane covering the whole roof, joined where sheets meet by seams welded or taped in place. The material itself is durable and the seams are the working part, because they were made on a roof rather than in a factory.
Where does water go once it gets past a seam?
Sideways, under the membrane, across the whole roof. There is nothing dividing the space beneath, so water entering at one seam can appear at a ceiling a long way off, and finding the entry from the stain almost never works.
How is the entry point found?
By flooding sections of the roof and watching, or by an infrared survey after dark, rather than by walking it and looking. It is slow and it is worth paying for, because guessing leads to patching seams that were never the problem.
