24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Worcester, 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
Why does the snow end up against the houses?
Because there is nowhere else. The streets are narrow, cars are parked both sides, and clearing them means pushing the snow to the edge, which on these hills is the sidewalk and then the wall. It is not carelessness so much as geometry.
What does months of contact do?
Keeps the base of the wall wet continuously rather than wetting and drying. Masonry and siding take up water steadily from a pile that is slowly melting, and because it is rebuilt after each storm the contact is unbroken from January.
Is there anything to be done about the piles?
Keep a gap, which sounds minor and is not. Clearing a foot of space between the pile and the wall when the snow is first moved means the melt runs away rather than into the building, and it takes a few minutes at the right moment.
