Common questions
Questions about same day water removal
How late can I call and still get service today?
Through the final dry check, our booking cutoff is mid afternoon, so call before then and same day is usually straightforward.
What is the difference between same day and emergency service?
Through the final dry check, emergency means water is still active or there is a safety hazard, and it gets an immediate dispatch with a premium charge.
Can the whole job be finished in one visit?
From the source check, the water removal usually can, especially on hard surfaces. Through the final dry check, drying is a multi day process by nature, because moisture has to leave the materials, and that takes about three to five days with equipment running.
Does same day cost extra?
Not during business hours. You pay for the source check, the extraction and the drying days, the same as any scheduled job.
Do I need to be home?
As moisture readings guide drying, it helps for the walkthrough and drying plan approval, but it is not required. From the source check, we work regularly from lockbox codes, property managers and on site tenants, with your authorization confirmed.
From the source check, the carpet only feels a little damp. Is that really a problem?
To control the wet boundary, usually yes. To control the wet boundary, carpet dries on the surface long before the padding underneath does, and wet padding keeps feeding moisture into the subfloor and up into baseboards.
Can you come after work or early in the morning?
As moisture readings guide drying, early morning slots are standard, and late afternoon usually works. Through the final dry check, true evening appointments are available but fall under after hours rates.
