Tonight, if it needs to be
24-hour water restoration for Montgomery, Wetumpka and Prattville homes
Emergency water clean-up around the clock, from a small drip under an AC unit to a whole house that has flooded. Extraction first, then drying, then checking what the carpet and the pad underneath are holding. Free estimate before work begins.
Chapter 01
The first 24 hours: why standing water turns into a structural problem fast
Water on a floor does not sit still and wait for morning. Carpet and the pad underneath it act like a wick, and standing water spreads sideways through the pad long before it shows anywhere on the surface. Left overnight, that moisture starts working on the subfloor underneath, and what would have been an extraction job becomes a repair job.
We run 24-hour emergency water clean-up for exactly this reason. A call at midnight gets treated the same as a call at noon, because the first day is the day that decides whether the floor gets saved.

From an AC-unit drip to a whole-house flood, what changes and what does not
A slow drip under an air handler and a burst supply line that floods every room are the same category of job at completely different scale. The drip might be one damp patch under a closet shelf. The flood is every room, every hallway, and furniture that has to move before anything else happens.
What stays the same across both is the order of operations: get the standing water out, get air moving through what is left, and check what the water reached underneath before deciding what gets saved and what does not. We size the crew and the equipment to the job, not the other way around.
Chapter 03
Extraction, drying, and what gets checked underneath the carpet and pad
Extraction comes first, pulling the standing water out of the carpet before anything else. Then drying, with air movers and dehumidifiers set to actually move air through the affected rooms rather than just running a fan in the corner.
The part most people never see is what happens after that: pulling back the carpet at the edge of the affected area to check the pad and the subfloor. Pad that has taken on water usually gets replaced rather than dried, because a pad that stays wet is exactly the kind of thing that grows mold behind a wall nobody is checking.
The free estimate before any work begins
You get told what the job is and what it costs before we start, water damage included. That is the same rule that applies to a routine carpet clean, and it does not change because the situation is urgent.
If it is water, call rather than send a message online. A form sits in an inbox. A phone call gets someone moving toward your house.
