What Is Emergency Water Extraction?
Emergency water extraction is the immediate removal of standing and trapped water from floors, wall cavities, crawlspaces, and finishes after a leak, flood, or appliance failure.
Done within hours, it reduces demolition, costs, and timelines. Extraction is followed by structural drying (air movement + dehumidification), sanitization, and verification. Our team maps hidden moisture with infrared and meters so pockets don’t become tomorrow’s mold problem.
Why Choose White Glove Plumbing
Plumbing + restoration, end-to-end: We fix the cause (including failed softeners/brine tanks, valves, and lines) and the result (extraction, drying, repairs).
Certified pros + commercial gear: IICRC technicians using truck-mount extractors, LGR dehumidifiers, thermal imaging, and HEPA filtration.
Softener-aware mitigation: We protect/flush lines, set softener bypass correctly, and document appliance failures for insurer review.
Insurance-ready files: Photos, moisture logs, sketches, drying verification, and line-item estimates—direct coordination with most carriers.
Emergency Checklist (What to Do Now)
Shut off water at the fixture or main; if you have a softener, switch to bypass to isolate it.
Turn off power to affected zones if water is near outlets/appliances.
Move valuables and small furniture to a dry area.
Limit foot traffic on wet carpet/hardwood to reduce spread.
Don’t remove materials yourself—preserving evidence helps your claim.
Call our 24/7 dispatcher—a certified team will be assigned immediately.
Common Causes We Handle
Burst/leaking supply lines and angle stops
Water softener tank cracks, valve failures, brine overflow
Appliance leaks (dishwasher, washer, fridge/ice maker)
Toilet overflows and sewage backups (Category 3)
Roof/door/window intrusions during storms
Slab leaks and pipe failures in walls or subfloors
Fire sprinkler discharges and HVAC pan overflows
Arrival & Safety Check (0–15 min)
Address electrical/slip hazards; shut off the water source and set softener to bypass if implicated.
Assessment & Moisture Mapping (15–45 min)
Thermal imaging + meter readings define affected assemblies; classify water category (1–3) and class (1–4); set containment/drying goals.
Rapid Extraction (45–120 min +)
Truck-mount or high-lift portable extraction; weighted extraction for carpet/pad; cavity ports and wanding for hidden areas.
Containment & Equipment Setup (Day 1)
Dust barriers/negative pressure as needed; deploy air movers and LGR dehumidifiers to create the right vapor pressure differential.
Drying, Sanitization & Daily Monitoring (Days 1–4)
Apply category-appropriate antimicrobials; run HEPA air filtration where indicated; record psychrometrics and material moisture; adjust gear for speed and safety.
Verification, Repairs & Rebuild (As Needed)
Final readings/photos; equipment removal; selective repairs/rebuild (drywall, paint, flooring, trim). If a softener or valve failed, we repair/replace it to prevent recurrence.
What’s Included

Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)

Direct coordination with most carriers
Carrier-ready files: Photos, moisture logs, sketches, drying verification, and (when applicable) appliance failure notes for adjusters

Guidance on ALE (Additional Living Expense) and contents handling when applicable
Risks of Waiting (Why Immediate Extraction Matters)
Mold colonization can begin on susceptible materials within 24–48 hours.
Wicking and delamination increase demolition and replacement costs.
Electrical and slip hazards escalate over time.
Insurance complications can arise if mitigation is delayed or undocumented.
Water Damage Restoration Methods, Equipment & Drying Targets
Standards: IICRC-guided mitigation; water Category 1–3, Class 1–4.
Targets: Drying chambers typically <50% RH at steady state; finished wood 12–16% MC (material dependent).
Measurements: Daily psychrometrics (air temp/RH/GPP) and material moisture with meters/IR camera.
Equipment: Truck-mount extractors, submersible pumps, LGR dehumidifiers, axial/centrifugal air movers, cavity drying systems, HEPA air scrubbers.
Controls: Source isolation, dust barriers, optional negative pressure to protect clean zones.
Verification: Moisture logs, meter photos, room sketches, and final dry-standard sign-off.
Frequently Asked Questions
My softener leaked—can you fix that and the water damage?
Yes. We’ll isolate/bypass the unit, extract and dry the structure, then repair or replace the softener and bring the install to code.
Will everything need demolition?
Not always. With timely extraction and targeted drying, many assemblies can be salvaged. We remove only what’s necessary.
Do you handle sewage (Category 3) water?
Yes—full containment, PPE, EPA-registered disinfectants, and proper disposal per IICRC protocols.
Can you work directly with my insurance?
Yes. We document thoroughly and coordinate approvals and payment with most carriers.
How long will it take to dry?
Many clean-water events dry in 2–4 days; scope, materials, and category may extend the timeline.
Do you service commercial spaces and HOAs?
Absolutely—occupied-space containment, multi-unit documentation, and after-hours scheduling are available.
