24/7 extraction, structural drying and mold remediation across the metro — usually on site within the hour, billed directly to your insurer.
Flooding right now? Do these three things first. They take about ninety seconds and they decide how much of your home is salvageable.
- Electricity before water.Don't walk into standing water if outlets, cords or appliances are submerged. If your breaker panel is dry and reachable without stepping in water, cut power to that area. If it isn't, stay out and wait for us.
- Stop the water.For an overflowing toilet, turn the oval valve behind it clockwise. For anything else, shut off the main — usually in the basement, crawlspace, or a utility closet on the street-facing wall.
- Photograph everything before you move it.Wide shots of each room, then close-ups of damaged items. Insurers pay on documentation, and once you start hauling things out the evidence goes with it.

Why hours matter more than anything else
Water moves faster than it looks. Drywall wicks it upward within minutes. Within a day it's under the subfloor and behind the baseboards, where a towel and a box fan will never reach.
That's the whole reason to move quickly. Before the 48-hour mark it's a drying job. After it, it becomes a remediation job — slower, far more disruptive, and considerably more expensive.
How the job goes
- 1You call — we answerA person, not a queue, any hour. We'll talk you through shutting off water and staying safe while the truck is loading.
- 2On site, usually within the hourWe assess with moisture meters and thermal imaging, because water travels much further than it looks.
- 3ExtractionTruck-mounted extraction pulls standing water out far faster than any rental unit.
- 4Remove what can't be driedSaturated pad, drywall below the water line, wet insulation. Cutting it back is cheaper than losing the wall.
- 5Dry the structure — 3 to 5 daysCommercial air movers and dehumidifiers sized to the space, with moisture readings logged daily.
- 6Verify and hand over the documentationDrying stops when the meter says so. The log goes to your insurer with the photos.
Not all water is the same
The category of water decides what can stay in your house. It isn't a technicality — it's the difference between drying a room and gutting it.
| Category | Where it comes from | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — Clean | Supply line, water heater, the tank side of a toilet | Most materials are recoverable if drying starts quickly |
| 2 — Grey | Shower, sink, washing machine, dishwasher | Recoverable with antimicrobial treatment; pad and some drywall come out |
| 3 — Black | Sewage, toilet water past the trap, ground floodwater | Hazardous. Porous materials are removed, not cleaned |
Clean water doesn't stay clean. After roughly 48 hours sitting in a wall, Category 1 degrades to Category 2 — another reason the first day matters.
Backed-up sewage and toilet water past the trap is Category 3 — biohazardous. Don't try to clean it yourself and keep children and pets out of the area entirely. It needs protective equipment and antimicrobial treatment. How sewage cleanup works →

Common questions
How fast can you get here?
We answer 24 hours a day and are usually on site within the hour anywhere in the Denver metro. When you call we'll also talk you through shutting off water and staying safe while our truck is on the way.
What does flood cleanup cost?
Most water losses are covered by homeowners insurance when the cause was sudden and accidental, and we bill the carrier directly so you generally pay only your deductible. Assessment is free. See our cost breakdown for typical ranges.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes. We document everything to the standard adjusters expect — photos, moisture maps and daily drying logs — and bill your carrier directly on most claims.
How long does drying take?
After extraction, structural drying usually runs three to five days with commercial air movers and dehumidifiers, monitored daily until moisture readings return to normal. Drying stops when the meter says so, not when it looks dry.
Can I just use fans and a shop vac?
For a small spill on a hard floor, yes. For anything that reached carpet, pad, drywall or subfloor, no — household fans move moist air around without removing it, which dries the surface and leaves the structure wet. That's the classic path to a mold problem six weeks later.
