The Emergency Water Extraction Process for Huxley Properties

Carpet Water Extraction Services

Weighted extraction tools press water out of carpet and pad in slow passes, removing far more water than a surface wand.

Standing Water Removal

Removing standing water quickly is what keeps a single wet room from turning into several.

Burst Pipe Water Extraction

The burst section is noted and photographed for the plumber while the water is removed and the house is dried.

Sewage Backup Cleanup

Sewage that backed up through drains or toilets is extracted with protective gear, and the area is contained from clean rooms.

Wet Drywall Water Removal

Small holes near the base of the wall let dry air into the cavity, which dries the studs and back of the drywall.
