When You Need Extraction, Not Towels
If the carpet squishes when you step on it, towels and a shop vac will not get the water out. Extraction equipment pulls water out of carpet, pad and hard floors far faster, and every hour it sits more of it soaks into drywall and subfloor.
- Water across more than one room
- Carpet wet through to the pad
- Water that came through a ceiling
- Any water in a finished basement
Safety First
1. Stop the source. Close the main water valve. In most Salt Lake Valley homes it is in the basement or utility room where the line enters the house, often near the water heater. Some homes also have a valve in the meter box by the street. 2. Watch the electricity. If water is near outlets, cords or the panel, do not walk through it. Turn power off at the panel only from a dry spot. 3. Lift what you can. Furniture on blocks or foil, rugs off the floor, papers and photos upstairs. 4. Document it. Photos and video before anything moves help with an insurance claim.

Extraction is usually the first visit: pumps for deep water, wands for carpet, then air movers and dehumidifiers that stay for a few days. Ask how they will measure moisture and when they will come back to check it.

FAQ
Emergency Water Removal FAQs
How much does water removal cost?
It depends on how much water, how many rooms, the water category and how long the drying equipment stays. Ask the company how they price the job before work starts.
Can someone come out at night?
Many restoration companies take emergency calls 24/7. Our line is open around the clock to connect you.
Should I pull up wet carpet myself?
Usually not. Let the crew decide. Carpet can sometimes be dried in place, while the pad is often replaced.
