Emergency Testimonials
βBasement flooded at 2 AM during that major storm in July. DrySpace arrived in 40 minutes and worked through the night. They saved our finished basement and handled everything with insurance. Incredible service when we needed it most.β

βSump pump failed while we were on vacation in Europe. Our neighbor called DrySpace and they handled the entire emergency - pumping, temporary repairs, even coordinating with our insurance. When we got home, everything was under control.β

βFoundation wall cracked during spring thaw and water was pouring in. Their emergency crew arrived in 50 minutes and stopped the flood completely. The permanent repair has held perfectly for 3 years now.β

Emergency FAQs
β Should I try to pump water myself while waiting?
Only if you can do so safely without electrical hazards. Small amounts of water can be removed with household wet vacuums, but leave major pumping to professionals with proper equipment.

No, immediate emergency response actually protects your coverage by demonstrating mitigation efforts. We provide all documentation insurance companies require.
β Can you handle contaminated water emergencies?
Yes, our crews are certified for sewage cleanup and contaminated water extraction with proper safety equipment and disposal methods.
β Do you provide emergency service during major storms?
Yes, we maintain full emergency response capability during severe weather. Our crews are equipped for challenging conditions and prioritize life-safety situations.
β How long do emergency repairs last?
Temporary emergency repairs typically last 30-90 days depending on conditions. We schedule permanent repairs as soon as possible after stabilization.
