24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Thomasville, NC
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
How does water get inside a duct?
From the air around it. Cold supply air keeps the duct's inner liner well below the temperature of a humid crawl space, and where the insulation or the outer wrap has been compressed or torn, moisture condenses on the liner and runs down inside it. Any sag in the run becomes the place it collects.
What are the signs of it from inside the house?
Weak airflow from one or two outlets, a musty smell when the system starts, and sometimes damp around the register itself. Because the cause is under the floor and not in the room, it frequently gets treated as a cooling problem for a season or two before anyone looks in the crawl space.
Is the duct repairable or does it get replaced?
A wet flexible run is normally replaced. The liner and the insulation between it and the outer wrap hold moisture and cannot be dried in place, and the sag that caused the trouble is a fault in how it was hung. Replacing the run and supporting it properly along its length deals with both at once.
