How Emergency 24-Hour Water Extraction Works in Ithaca
-
Pull the standing water out
A gallon removed as liquid saves hours of evaporation. That is why the crew spends real time on extraction before a single fan goes down.
-
Map the moisture
A dry reading from an unaffected room sets the target. A material counts as dry when it reads close to that number.
-
Open what holds water
Carpet pad acts like a sponge and dries badly where it lies, so it usually comes up first. When the water was clean, the carpet above it can often be saved.
-
Dry and verify
Clean-water losses commonly dry in three to five days, while hardwood, plaster and dense subfloors need longer. Machines run until the meters read dry, whatever the date.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Surface water is only the visible part. The rest hides in wall cavities, beneath flooring and inside insulation, which is why the technician reads those spots with pinless meters and a thermal camera.
- Shut off the main water valve or the fixture valve.
- Switch off electricity to wet rooms if the panel is dry.
- Stay out of standing water that might touch outlets or cords.
- Move valuables and electronics to a dry, higher spot.
- Photograph the damage while you wait.
