Detailed Apartment Water Extraction Process in Richfield

Apartment Leak Water Cleanup

A leaking supply line, toilet or water heater is shut off, then the water is extracted from the floor and under nearby cabinets and vanities.

Wet Drywall Water Extraction

Water is drawn out of soaked drywall by drilling small holes near the base and blowing dry air into the wall cavity.

Apartment Water Damage Cleanup

Once the water is out, floors and lower walls are cleaned, and soaked pad or flooring is removed so drying can finish.

Emergency Apartment Water Extraction

Emergency extraction starts once the source is off, with the wettest rooms done first and belongings moved out of the water.
