24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Sikeston, MO
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
Why does so much have to come out of the attic?
Because the ceiling is underneath all of it. Insulation has been added on top of the original more than once, so there is a deep layer covering the joists, the wiring and the back of the board, and none of that can be read or dried until the wet material has been cleared off it.
Is the whole attic cleared?
Along the wet run and a margin beyond it rather than the whole space. Insulation wicks well past where the water landed, so the removal goes further than the obvious area, and the edge is found with a meter rather than by eye. The dry remainder is left in place.
What is dealt with before the clearing starts?
The electrical. Fixture boxes and wiring are buried under the added material and cannot be seen from above, so power to the affected area is isolated before anyone works in there. That is a first step rather than a precaution taken partway through.
