Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Hattiesburg, MS
Basement seepage, failed sumps and water through the slab are extracted and dried, and the path from the ground is found so the floor stays dry next season. The path from the ground is named first: through the wall, up through the slab, back through a drain, or from a sump that stopped. The space is extracted and dried, with the porous materials the water touched removed, and the delivery is addressed, because a dried floor only stays dry if the water stops arriving.

Often needed alongside
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Mold Inspection & Testing
An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
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.
