Water Mitigation Requires Immediate Action
The faster water damage is taken care of, the more of your property and its content we can save. Speed of work translates to you getting back to normal faster and at lower costs. Needing immediate action is why professional water damage restoration companies will always dispatch 24-hours a day, every day of the year.

Amarillo Water Removal
Removing visible water is only the first step in the restoration process. There are many other factors our water damage technicians consider, such as:
- Hidden pockets of water. Water likes to slip underneath floorboards and behind walls, and it can remain stuck there, wetting insulation and other absorbent materials. We find these pockets of water before they permanently ruin flooring, walls and cause mold growth.
- Carpet Restoration. It’s our goal to save as much of your property as possible, including carpet. If we can keep your carpet, we will lift it to extract the trapped water underneath.
- Water Damaged Furniture. Our technicians will lift furniture sitting in water to stop any further damage. It will also be dried and sanitized as needed along with your property.

Emergency Water Removal
Our highly trained technicians will begin the water removal process almost immediately. Depending on the amount of water, we may use powerful submersible pumps in addition to industrial strength, wet/dry vacuums. Removing most of the water helps reduce drying time and helps prevent secondary water damage and mold and bacterial growth.
