Water Damage
Water damage and drying
Burst pipes, flooded basements, ceiling leaks and the drying that follows. Extraction first, then measured drying to goals.

Water Damage Restoration
Water damage restoration is the full sequence after a leak or flood: stopping the source, extracting standing water, removing materials that cannot be saved, drying walls and floors with dehumidifiers and air movers, and logging moisture readings until they reach a dry standard.

Emergency water removal is the first stage of a water job: shutting down the source, pumping out standing water, and extracting what has soaked into carpet, pad and hard floors before it moves into walls and subfloor.
