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.
Oklahoma City-area patterns we see
Newer Oklahoma City construction tends to be on slab foundations with PEX. Easier access in some ways, more code-current in others.
On bigger jobs we'll bring two techs. On simpler ones, just one — fewer hands, faster billing.
From the books — a recent Oklahoma City job
Last spring we got a call from a homeowner near the south Oklahoma City. A basement with 18 inches of clean water after a hot water tank burst. Diagnosis: tank corrosion at the seam. We pumped 4,200 gallons in 2 hours, extracted absorbed water from carpet, drying setup in place by midnight, ran the test, and were out the door in about two hours. Total: $630 including parts.
