24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Meridian, 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
What is the passage through the middle?
A breezeway, open at both ends, with rooms on either side of it under a single roof. It was how houses were kept livable here before there was any cooling, and it means the walls facing into that passage were built as exterior walls.
What happens when it has been closed in?
You get a room whose walls, floor and ceiling were all detailed for the outside. Siding faces into it, the floor may still fall slightly for drainage, and the roof above the junction was never meant to cover a heated space.
Does that change how it dries?
Considerably, because the assemblies are not what they appear to be. A wall that looks like an interior partition may have siding, sheathing and a weather barrier in it, so it holds water far longer than the plaster face suggests.
