The worst time for your house to face water intrusion is when you are away. Sadly, it can happen to you at any time. Your water line may burst and flood the basement when you are at your friend’s house, or your washing machine hose may blow and flood your house while you are away for the weekend.

In both cases, removing water from your home as quickly as possible should be your priority.

Water invasion can cause a wide variety of problems. Apart from damaging your items, water can foster mold growth, posing a severe health hazard to your family. Proper removal of water and dehumidification is essential to bring your home back to normal and prevent any future risks.

Furthermore, standing water and excessive humidity levels can wreak havoc on your structure and contents, besides the possible health effects on those living in your home. Therefore, it’s imperative you get rid of it as fast as possible and get in touch with water removal companies like Lamunyon. We have the experience and training to get you up and running as quickly as possible. Since we use industrial equipment to quickly remove water, your home will be less likely to be damaged because of our help.

Water Contamination Categories

You may want to act in some way to deal with water damage before experts arrive for the rescue. Thus, knowing the level of contamination helps you prepare properly before making a move.

Intruding water, in some cases, can be highly contaminated and pose a threat to your health. You can classify water contamination into three categories according to the risk it poses:

  • Category 1 is clean water coming from a sanitary source. It may not pose a significant health risk, and you can deal with it immediately with minimum precaution.
  • Category 2 is mostly ‘gray’ water, usually caused due to dishwasher discharge, toilet bowl overflows, washing machine leakage, or similar events. It may cause sickness if consumed or even touched because of the level of contamination.
  • Category 3 is contaminated water and may contain many types of pathogens and biohazards that pose a severe health risk. It primarily includes sewage or black water coming from toilet backflow or backups, and ground flooding. It is highly likely to lead to severe illness and infection.

Our Water Extraction Process

We follow a unique water extraction process that ensures your home returns to its previous condition with no water issues. Our water extraction process includes–

Step 1: Stopping the Flow of Water

When dealing with water infiltration, the initial crucial step is to tackle the root cause. Our highly skilled team excels at pinpointing the source of water damage. Leveraging advanced technology, they swiftly put a halt to the water’s entry. Whether it’s a pesky leak, a burst pipe, or a flooding situation, our team is adept at effectively stopping the water from entering further.

Step 2: Draining the Water

After identifying the source of water, we then move to the process of removing standing water from the affected area. We use our specialized equipment, which can handle various water volumes, which helps in thorough water removal. Our main goal is not just removing the standing water but also preventing any potential secondary damage caused by the long exposure to moisture. 

Step 3: Removing Non-Visible Water

The impact of water damage can extend further than what we can see. Often, water can seep into porous materials, hidden corners, and other structural elements. Non-visible water damage can lead to other issues like moisture problems, mold growth, bad smell, pests, and more. Thus, we provide removal services for non-visible water, extending beyond surface-level removal. We use several advanced techniques to spot non-visible water and mitigate the issues caused by it.

What’s Next After Water Removal?

After the initial water removal process, you can still take some steps to ensure your home is protected from future water issues. You can follow the steps below–

  • Water Mitigation – The water mitigation process immediately stabilizes the affected area to prevent further damage. You can use dehumidifiers to mitigate the moisture issues and prevent mold growth.
  • Water Damage Restoration – After stabilizing water mitigation, you must move on to water damage restoration. The process of water damage restoration includes restoring any structural elements, materials, and belongings due to water damage.
  • Mold Remediation – There is a high chance of mold growth after water damage. Thus, you must address the issues promptly by assessing the mold growth, removing the mold safely, and taking preventive measures of mold remediation afterward.
  • Dehumidification – After water removal, the affected area can be full of moisture. Therefore, dehumidification is a crucial step to control the humidity level.
  • Basement Settlement Repair – If your property has a basement and the water issues have caused basement settlement problems, it is important to address them immediately. Settlement can lead to cracks, structural instability, and more, so you must consult the experts and fix the foundation settlement issues with basement waterproofing solutions.

Clean up was great!flipper A.flipper A. ★★★★★ Matt, David and Jonah were a great crew that worked hard to fix our foundation problems. Totally recommend the team at Lamunyon that gave us exceptional service from the time we picked up the phone and the experience of Cody with the estimate, all through seeing the job done to our satisfaction!Betty L.Betty L. ★★★★★ Stan and I are completely satisfied with the services provided by Lamunyon. We had a broken main water pipe which caused water deep enough to cause waves from wall to wall across a large part of our basement. We called Lamunyon and are extremely happy with the way Jeremiah and his team came in and immediately assessed the damage and handled the restoration process. He was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what was needed and kept us informed throughout the entire process. If we ever have a situation like this again, we will definitely call Lamunyon and request Jeremiah. We recommend Lamunyon to anyone who has a need for water restoration.Martin T.Martin T. ★★★★★ Professional, friendly and timely service. Came out and cleaned up mess even staying late. Lance and Tim were great to work with.Rachel M.Rachel M. ★★★★★ We had some settling along the front wall of our house to the point where we saw cracks in the wall and our front door wasn't operational. Lamunyon was then recommended to come in and stabilize the house so it wouldn't sink anymore. They quoted us needing 8 helical piers up to 20 feet deep to help stabilize the stem wall that was holding up our slab house. Unfortunately due to the type of soil under my house, we had to go deeper than 20 feet on them all so we had some overages. The cost for those overages was laid out ahead of time by Cody, who did the bid, and again reconfirmed by Matt before he started working. Everyone I worked with was fantastic and answered all of my questions. Starting from the initial call into the office to set up a bid, to Cody coming out to see what was going on as well as explaining his process for how he got to the bid numbers and last but not least the work that Matt, Jeff, Jonah and David all did to get the piers in place and fill in the hole. These were all a great experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone that is having foundation issues!! They also quoted us for three days work and that is what it took even though they had more work than they originally planned for due to the soil being a little more sandy and loose. Once again thank you for the work you did! It is one of those things that I would hope I never need to have done again but at least I know who my first call will be to!Charlene H.Charlene H. ★★★★★ Very prompt and did a professional job. This is the 2nd time they have worked for us and both times. did a fantastic job.Derrek J.Derrek J. ★★★★★ Recently, we faced the challenging situation of significant water damage to our business property.

Their efficiency and meticulous care throughout the process were impressive, ensuring that our business remained safe to operate.

He and the Lamuyon team wholeheartedly care for those they serve.Thank you for your outstanding support. What could have been a stressful ordeal was managed with remarkable ease and professionalism.

He advised that it would take a few weeks for scheduling which was fine. During the consultation Cody was thorough with the process and the time it would take to fix the leak. On the day of service Matt and Jesse did a great job, explained what would take place and got to work immediately. Once the job was done Matt explained everything that he and Jesse did and explained it a second time when my husband was on the phone. They left the area clean and clear, they were both really polite and informative of the service provided. Truly appreciate Lamunyon and their services 10/10 highly recommend!!!Stu D.Stu D. ★★★★★ Smooth process from start to finish, and these guys truly respect your property.

When the work was performed, Matt was very professional and once again explained everything in detail. Even when a change order occurred, Matt reached out right away to inform me of why there was a change and the price difference. Matt and his team member went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and the job would be completed on time.Linda M.Linda M. ★★★★★ Everyone I interacted with, from Cody (Estimator/quoter), Scheduling, and the workers, were all very honest and reliable with their information and work. I especially appreciated being told what work really needed to be done vs selling all the bells and whistles we couldn’t afford. The workers have a good sense of humor and work hard for their earnings (ethics that can be harder to find these days). They did an excellent job of protecting our property and cleaning up after each phase of work. God bless you all, we feel much safer in our home now.Herschel B.Herschel B. ★★★★★ I would like to pass on that I had a leak in my basement floor and it caused water damage to my carpet and we had to move my daughter out of the room. Trying to figure out who to call was a nightmare. I finally made a great decision with Lamunyon dry out & foundation repair.

They worked hard all week and in incredibly hot weather. Very courtesy and professional guys. Drew, the foreman, was meticulous and made sure they cleaned up every day. Couldn't have asked for a better group of guys. Thanks!Rod E.Rod E. ★★★★★ Very good crew; easy to work with, clearly explained the process, cleaned up when done. I would hire them again, though I hope I don’t need to.Marilyn B.Marilyn B. ★★★★★ The work was very well done. I was referred by a local rug dealer who helped me call Lamonyan. That was at about 5 PM in the evening. They arrived at about 7:30 PM and stayed till almost 10 o'clock cleaning up as much as they could. The workers were great. They fully understood my concern and depression about the entire situation. This company goes the extra mile to clean up the situation and help you understand why it is necessary to do the things they do. Hope this never happens to me again. If it should, they would be the first company I would call Marilyn Braun, Victoria, Kansasjs_loader
