24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Plano, 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
Where does a glass wall like this leak?
At the joints between units rather than through them. The units are stacked, and the horizontal joint between one and the next has to be flashed so that water reaching it goes back out. Where that was done with sealant alone, which is common, the joint fails quietly and water runs down inside the wall from there.
Why is the damage so far from the leak?
Because there is a two-story drop for it to travel. Water entering at a joint eight or ten feet up runs down inside the framing and appears at the floor, in the ceiling below, or at the base of the wall. People look for the source near the stain, and the way in is at the top of a wall that needs scaffolding to reach.
What does the repair usually involve?
Access from outside, which is the expensive part. The joint has to be opened, properly flashed and made good, and that means reaching a point well above ground on the back of the house. It is worth having the whole elevation looked at while the access is there, since the other joints were built the same way.
