Water removal is the first stage of mitigation: pumping and extracting standing water so drying can begin.

  • Saturated carpet that squishes underfoot
  • Water pooled against walls or under cabinets

  • Gurgling drains
  • Strong sewer odor

Burst Pipe Water Damage

When a pipe bursts, shut off the main water valve immediately, open a faucet to relieve pressure and keep away from water near electricity.
