Specialized Basement Water Extraction for Stoneham Residents
Foundation Leak Water Extraction
Foundation leaks often wet the same wall each storm. Extraction and drying fix today's damage, and the leak location is noted for a waterproofing contractor.
Basement Mold Prevention Services
Keeping basement humidity down after drying helps keep mold from returning, especially behind finished walls.
Sump Pump Failure Water Removal
Water from a failed sump is usually clean at first, but it picks up dirt from the floor. It is extracted and the area cleaned before drying.
Basement Carpet Water Removal
Basement carpet is extracted with weighted tools to press water out of the pad. Pad on concrete usually has to be replaced.
Basement Sewage Backup Cleanup
Sewage cleanup comes before drying. Contaminated surfaces are cleaned first so drying does not lock contamination in place.

How Basement Water Extraction Works in Stoneham
Step 1: Emergency Water Extraction

Surfaces touched by dirty water are cleaned and disinfected once the water is out.

Washers, utility sinks and dehumidifier drains in the basement can overflow or leak.
Heavy Rainfall or Storm Flooding
Heavy rain saturates the soil around the foundation and pushes water into the basement.
Foundation Cracks and Leaks
