Distance is what makes a Georgetown water removal job different. The single-story slab plans out on the north side of town run long, with no steps and nothing interrupting the floor from one end to the other, so a failure in a back bathroom keeps going until something absorbs it. By the time anyone opens the front door, the water is not in one room. It is a wet band crossing several, and only a meter knows where it stops.
One thing worth saying plainly before anything else. If water rose into the house from the North or South Fork of the San Gabriel, that is a flood claim written under a separate policy and handled by a different trade, and we will tell you so on the phone rather than take the job. Our water extraction work starts at the plumbing: supply lines, water heaters, appliances, and fixtures.
Bounding the wet area, then working back to the source
We meter the wall base around the entire affected zone before a hose comes off the truck and mark where the readings drop back to normal, then extract from that edge inward. Over carpet the weighted head does the deciding: how much it lifts out of the pad in the first passes is what tells us whether that pad is staying. Hard surfaces get the wand and the perimeter, and cabinet kicks are opened where a reading says water got behind them. Extraction hands straight over to drying on the same visit, because material that has merely been emptied of standing water is still wet material.
- The whole wet band metered and marked, not only the room that failed
- The weighted head over carpet, wand work along the base and the grout lines
- Toe kicks and base trim off wherever a reading puts water behind them
- Drying equipment set the same visit and read every day after

Extraction itself is usually a few hours. What takes the time is drying a long run of slab, base plate, and carpet back to a number and proving it, and every stage of that is photographed and logged. Call (512) 271-5099 and tell us where the water started and roughly when.
