On bigger jobs we'll bring two techs. On simpler ones, just one — fewer hands, faster billing.
From the books — a recent El Paso job
Recent El Paso job: a kitchen with 3 inches of standing water from a dishwasher supply hose burst in a any era home. We extracted standing water within 90 minutes, set 6 air movers and 2 dehumidifiers, dried the affected area in 4 days after diagnosing failed braided steel supply hose at the inlet fitting. Cost ran $386 — pretty middle-of-the-road for that fix.
What you're paying for
Standing water needs to come out within the first 4 to 8 hours of a water event. Past that window, drywall, flooring, and substrate begin absorbing moisture into adjacent dry areas, multiplying the loss.
Our extraction trucks carry submersible pumps for deep standing water plus truck-mounted vacuum extractors for carpet, padding, and porous surfaces. We can extract 2,000+ gallons per hour from a single building.
On arrival, the crew lead does a moisture map of the affected area, identifies the source (if not already controlled), and starts extraction in the lowest, deepest, slowest-evaporating areas first. Drying equipment goes in immediately after extraction.
Documentation is part of the job. Every moisture reading, every gallon extracted, every piece of equipment is logged. That logbook becomes your insurance-claim evidence.
