Emergency Water Extraction — New Orleans, LA
Plenty of shops will quote you a emergency water extraction job over the phone without seeing it. That's how you end up overpaying. We don't work that way. We work clean, leave the area better than we found it, and stick around to test the repair before we drive off.

What we cover
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.

From the books — a recent New Orleans job
A New Orleans customer in their any era home had been chasing a basement with 18 inches of clean water after a hot water tank burst for weeks before calling. Tank corrosion at the seam was the actual cause. We pumped 4,200 gallons in 2 hours, extracted absorbed water from carpet, drying setup in place by midnight; everything stable since. About $262 all in.
