What Commercial Water Extraction Includes in Stevenson
A Stevenson crew uses meters during commercial water extraction to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
A pipe break, roof entry or flood in an occupied business can soak office carpet, merchandise, equipment, walls and large floor areas. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.
Water beneath a floor does not disappear when a pipe is fixed. Restoration specialists measure its spread and open trapped areas where needed.

A clean looking surface can conceal moist wood underneath. The crew uses meters to find those areas and keeps air moving until readings reach the drying target.
- Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
- Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
- Photograph office carpet before moving affected items.
- Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
