Our Tools Catch What DIY Misses After a Flood or Leak
If your Bristol home or business experiences water damage, prompt removal is crucial. Standing water ruins carpet, weakens drywall, and breeds mold within hours. However, even after visible puddles have dried up, moisture can still be hidden in subfloors, wall cavities, and insulation. That’s where our equipment makes the difference.
High-Powered Pumps for the Initial Surge
Water removal in Bristol begins with the use of truck-mounted and portable extraction units. These can remove hundreds of gallons in minutes. From basement floods to broken pipes in retail stores, our gear helps stop the spread of water quickly and effectively. We don’t rely on shop vacs. Our industrial-grade extraction power reduces drying time by several days.
Air Movers Push Moisture Out of Hiding
After we remove bulk water, air movers are the next step. These are not box fans. Our low-profile units deliver high-speed airflow across surfaces, speeding up evaporation. We place them under cabinetry, behind baseboards, and in crawlspaces to dry where you can’t reach.
Dehumidifiers Pull Moisture from the Air
Next, we bring in low-grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers. These machines capture moisture released into the air by the drying process. Each unit can remove up to 235 pints per day, depending on the humidity level. This keeps the air dry and prevents new moisture from re-entering building materials.
Thermal Imaging to Find What Eyes Can’t See
Is moisture hiding behind a wall or under tile? We utilize thermal imaging cameras to identify cold, wet spots within structures. If the reading shows moisture, we investigate further with pinless moisture meters. No guesswork, no unnecessary demolition.
Why It Matters
Water left behind causes long-term problems. It weakens structural materials, rusts wiring, and feeds hidden mold growth. That’s why we check every inch, not just what’s visible.
