24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Middletown, NY
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 are the two pipes at the front of the house?
The fill and the vent for an oil tank in the basement. They pass through the foundation wall a short way above the ground so the tank can be filled from outside, which means two openings cut through a wall that is otherwise meant to be continuous.
Why do they let water in?
Because the seal around them is as old as the house and nobody has looked at it. They sit just above grade, which is where splash lands and snow piles, and the mortar or mastic packed around a pipe forty years ago has long since shrunk away from it.
Does it matter if the tank is gone?
It matters more, because then nobody thinks about the pipes at all. Where the heating has been changed the pipes are often left in the wall, capped at best, and the openings around them are the same as they ever were. They are worth sealing properly.
