24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Midland, TX
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 sloping door behind the house?
A storm shelter, dug out as a refuge and covered with a hinged door set at an angle to the ground. Most of them went in decades ago, and on a great many properties here nobody has been down the steps in years, which is exactly why they matter.
How does a shelter full of water affect the house?
By keeping the ground beside it wet. A cellar that fills and holds water saturates the soil around it, and if it is close to the building, that soil is what the foundation is bearing on. Clay that stays wet beside a dry house moves.
Is it worth opening one up?
Yes, and it is the first thing worth doing where there is unexplained movement on that side of the house. It takes ten minutes, it tells you immediately whether the cellar is holding water, and it is not something an inspection would have covered.
