24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Greenville, MS
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
Where is the storm drainage here?
In the open, at the road. The streets were built with ditches rather than a piped system, so every yard drains across to a channel at the front of the property, and that channel is the whole of the drainage for the house.
Why does the ditch stop working?
Because it fills. Silt washes in, growth takes hold, and driveway crossings narrow it, so its capacity falls steadily over a year with nothing dramatic happening. The heaviest rain then arrives in December to a channel that is half what it was.
What happens when it backs up?
The water comes back across the yard, because the ground behind the ditch is flat. There is no fall to hold it at the road, so once the channel is full the water simply spreads toward the house, and on a slab that means at floor level.
