Water extraction for Sterling homes and businesses
Water does not wait. A burst pipe, a backed-up drain or a storm that floods the basement can soak carpet and pad within hours, and the longer it sits, the more it spreads into floors, walls and furniture.
We pull the water out of the carpet, pad and floors with extraction equipment, then set air movers to dry what is left. When the water is gone, we clean the carpet, so the room is not just dry but clean again.
One reviewer wrote that Brett came out the same day they called, even with flooding all over the area, and gave them names of other contractors for the work he does not do. If water damage reaches drywall, framing or mold, we will tell you who to call next.

Sterling, KS
Why water extraction matters in Sterling
Sterling knows floods. In 1929 heavy rain on Cow Creek sent water into town from the northwest, and the Arkansas River flooded again in 1973. When storm water or a burst pipe reaches your carpet, call us and we will extract it.
Sterling's 1929 flood came from a six-inch rain on Cow Creek that sent water into town from the northwest, and the Arkansas River flooded again in 1973. The ground here is sandy enough that Sterling Lake itself began as a sandpit, and that fine sand tracks in easily. College move-in and move-out each fall and spring add heavy traffic in rentals and dorms.
Sterling is an older town, and Census estimates put the typical home's build year in the mid-1950s, with many built before 1940. Student rentals near the college sit alongside older family homes and landmarks like Cooper Hall and the Sterling Carnegie Library. We clean homes, rentals and businesses across Sterling. Sterling is about 25 miles northwest of Hutchinson by road.
