24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Sioux Falls, SD
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 channel around the city?
A diversion, dug to carry the river past the built-up area rather than through the middle of it. Most of the flow now goes around the city, and the original course through the center is left with a modest amount running down it.
Does that make the old channel safe?
It makes it quiet, which is not the same. The old course is still a river channel and it still takes water when the diversion is at capacity, so the properties along it are protected by a structure upstream rather than by their position.
Does the old course matter below ground?
It does, and it gets overlooked. The gravels of the original channel are still there and still permeable, so ground water follows that line regardless of how much is running on the surface, and basements along it stay wetter than their neighbors.
