24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Hattiesburg, 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 bathroom fan actually venting?
Into the attic, on a great many of these. The duct goes up through the ceiling and stops, sometimes pointed at a vent and sometimes lying loose on the insulation. Everything the fan removes from the bathroom is delivered into the roof space.
Why does that look like a roof leak?
Because it wets the underside of the deck. Warm wet air rises, meets the cool sheathing and condenses there, so the boards are damp and stained across an area and drops fall onto the insulation. A roof inspection finds nothing wrong with the roof.
How is it put right?
By carrying the duct through to the outside and terminating it properly, which is an hour of work in most attics. The harder part is the damage already done, because years of this softens sheathing and ruins insulation over a wide area.
