24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Woodbury, MN
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
What is the air exchanger doing?
Ventilating the house. These are built tight enough that they need air brought in mechanically, so a unit in the basement pulls fresh air in and pushes stale air out, passing them by each other so the outgoing air warms the incoming air on the way.
Why does it produce water in winter?
Because warm moist air from the house meets a surface chilled by incoming air at minus temperatures. That condenses, in quantity, and the unit is built to collect it and drain it away. It is doing exactly what it should; the water is not a fault.
What is worth checking on it?
The drain line and the trap in it, before winter rather than during. A line that has dried out, kinked or frozen at the outside end sends the condensate into the cabinet and out onto whatever is below, and it does that on the coldest nights.
