The Condo Water Extraction Process in Lake Stevens, WA
Water Damaged Floor Removal
Laminate, engineered wood and vinyl plank that trap water are lifted, and the underlayment and subfloor beneath are dried.
Emergency Water Removal
Help is available any hour, because water in a condo keeps spreading to neighbors until it is extracted.
Condo Flood Cleanup
Common hallways outside the unit are extracted too, since water often runs under the entry door.
Condo Moisture Inspection
Meters and thermal cameras check floors, walls and ceilings in the unit and in the units beside and below it.
Condo Leak Water Cleanup
Slow condo leaks often wet the subfloor and the ceiling below before anyone sees them. Moisture readings find the full wet area.
