Pictured is a flooded basement as a result of ground water intrusion. The entire area was plagued with storms resulting in 3 inches of water. The homeowner contacted us to remove the water from the space. The carpets saturated in 3 rooms. The main room pictured was extracted as much as possible. We then began drying by pulling the carpet up (floating) and placing air movers below to dry it the rest of the way. All three rooms were treated with an Anti Microbial Agent. Our crews set up dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the air as well. The project was finished in three days. 

This particular damage was a result of a washing machine overflow in a Shelbyville, Kentucky home. The damage occurred from upstairs and flowed down the stairs and leaked through the flooring. Our crews began the project by mitigation the water upstairs. Secondly, the basement was extracted.

Finally, fans were placed to dry the space. Our crews monitored the home during the drying process until the project was complete.

This particular damage occurred as a result of a dishwasher leak that seeped into the room behind the kitchen. Our crew arrived and began assessing the damage. The carpet was saturated completely. Our techs extracted the water from the carpet to begin the process. Once the water was removed the techs raised the carpet implementing a technique entitled "floating". After it was raised fans were place under to create airflow. This would ensure that the carpet would dry quickly thus saving the homeowner from having to replace it. The entire area including the kitchen was treated with an anti microbial to clean the space.
