Specialized Basement Water Extraction for Guffey Residents

Basement Mold Prevention Services

Keeping basement humidity down after drying helps keep mold from returning, especially behind finished walls.

Finished Basement Water Damage Repair

In a finished basement, lower drywall, baseboards and insulation are cut out where wet, and the framing behind them is dried.

Emergency Basement Drying

Fast drying keeps a wet basement from turning into a musty one. Equipment is adjusted daily based on moisture readings.

Basement Carpet Water Removal

Lifting the carpet lets the concrete underneath dry. Leaving wet pad on the slab keeps the basement damp for weeks.

Sump Pump Failure Water Removal

Once the water is out, the sump pit is checked so you know whether the pump, float switch or power caused the failure.

A sump pump that fails, loses power or is overwhelmed lets groundwater rise into the basement.

Heavy Rainfall or Storm Flooding

Heavy rain saturates the soil around the foundation and pushes water into the basement.
