Flood/Water Damage
Water Extraction and Dehumidification
Water leaks or spills are very common. Immediate inspection of floor coverings, structural materials and crawl spaces, as well as prompt removal of all standing water, is critical to reduce or eliminate structural damage and/or mold. Since every second matters, Alt Plumbing is ready to respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No matter when a water incident occurs, we will be there to help you.
Using the highest-powered truck mounted extraction equipment we can remove most of the standing water within a short period of time. It does not matter if the area is on the 1st or the 80th floor we can handle it. After all standing water has been removed; the structure must be thoroughly dried to prevent moisture damage or mold growth.
Homeowners and property managers sometimes remove standing water themselves, and then neglect to have the area professionally dried because the surfaces look dry or feel “dry to the touch.” However, without the proper assessment equipment, it is impossible to determine how much moisture is still within the structure. And without the proper drying equipment it is impossible to draw that moisture out before it cultivates mold or causes other structural damage. Increased moisture in the air after an indoor flood can cause “secondary” damage to decorative wood, books, artwork and other items, so thorough drying and dehumidification are critical.
