24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Essex Junction, VT
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
Why fit guards to a roof that sheds snow?
Because a metal roof releasing its load at once is dangerous to whatever is beneath it, including people at a door and cars on a drive. The guards hold the snow in place so it melts away gradually instead. It is the right decision for safety and it changes how the roof behaves in winter.
What does holding the snow do?
It keeps a wet mass on the roof for months. Water melting at the warm underside runs down under the snow toward the eaves, where it is colder, and freezes there. That is the same process that produces ice dams on a shingle roof, on a roof type people assume does not get them.
Are the fixings a problem?
They can be. Guards clamped to the seams of a standing-seam roof put no holes in it at all; guards screwed through the panels put a row of penetrations across the slope, each sealed with a washer that ages. On an older installation those are worth looking at when anything else is being done to the roof.
