Water Extractionin Charlotte, NC

Uptown and South End units

Condos, lofts, and apartment towers

A supply line failure or a sprinkler discharge on an upper floor can send water through ceilings and down walls into the units below. Because carpet and flooring over concrete hold water, extraction has to happen unit by unit and floor by floor.

We coordinate with building management, pull water from each affected unit, and keep records that owners and insurers can use.

Typical causes

• Sprinkler heads that discharge after impact or failure
• Water heater and washer leaks upstairs
• Rooftop and balcony drain overflows

Single-level and slab houses

Ranches and slab-on-grade houses

Many Charlotte houses sit on a slab with no basement. Water from a burst line, a failed dishwasher hose, or a storm entering at a door spreads across the floor and soaks into carpet, pad, and the bottom of the walls.

We extract from carpet and flooring, remove saturated pad, and check the lower portion of the walls for moisture.

Typical causes

• Dishwasher and refrigerator line failures
• Water heater tanks that split in a closet
• Storm water entering under exterior doors

Offices, shops, and parking decks

Ground-floor shops, offices, and parking structures

Retail and office space at street level collects water from supply line breaks, roof drain backups, and storm runoff. Parking decks and loading areas can hold large volumes of standing water that has to go somewhere safe.

We plan around business hours where we can, protect stock and equipment, and document each space for managers and insurers.

Typical causes

• Roof drain overflows into stockrooms
• Storm runoff down loading ramps
• Burst lines above ceilings in office suites
