24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Smyrna, TN
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 housewrap meant to do?
Catch whatever gets past the siding and carry it back out. It works entirely by overlap: each course has to lap over the one below, like shingles, so water running down the face of it is always carried outward and away from the sheathing.
What happens when a course laps the wrong way?
It does the opposite of its job. Water running down meets an upward-facing edge and goes behind it instead of over it, straight onto the sheathing. A single reversed course can wet a wall more reliably than no barrier at all would.
How is a reversed lap confirmed?
Only by opening the wall, which is why it is usually found late. A stretch of siding comes off and the lap direction is either right or it is not, and it takes one look. The value of checking is that it explains a wall that keeps coming back wet.
