Clean Water Extraction (Category 1) in Northlake, TX

A supply line break in Northlake can flood a room quickly. Local restoration pros serve Northlake and nearby Justin, Argyle and Lantana, with help available around the clock.

Clean Water Extraction (Category 1) Methods Used in Northlake

Hard Surface Floor Drying

Tile, sealed concrete and hardwood are squeegeed and extracted, then dried with air movers. Grout lines and seams are checked for water underneath.

Wall Cavity Water Extraction

Water that soaked into the bottom of walls is reached through small holes or removed baseboards, then the cavity is dried with directed airflow.

Emergency Water Mitigation

Emergency mitigation focuses on what is still at risk. Belongings are moved, furniture is set on blocks and the wettest areas are extracted first.

Wet Carpet Water Extraction

Clean water in carpet is pressed out with weighted extraction tools. Because the water is clean, the carpet can often be dried and kept.
