What We Do When We Arrive
Here’s what happens when Emergency Plumbing & Water Cleanup of Troy techs walk through your door.
We find and stop the source
We’re plumbers first, meaning we know what to look for and fix the problem for you before cleaning anything up. A restoration-only company can’t say the same.
We remove the standing water
Our water extraction equipment pulls out water quickly, before it starts to work its way under your flooring and into your subfloor.
We start drying
We then set up dehumidifiers and structural drying equipment all in the same visit. Getting those materials dry is the key way to stop further problems from evolving.
We protect what we can
We’ll move and set up belongings to limit a lot of the damage while everything gets the chance to dry out properly.
What Causes Water Damage in Troy Homes?
Most of what we clean up in Troy homes, it starts inside, not outside, the home. Here’s the top causes of water damage:
- A burst or frozen pipe after a cold January night in Ohio
- A failed water heater that dumps its tank
- A sewer line backup pushing contaminated water up through your drains
- A sump pump that gave up the ghost during heavy runoff
- A washing machine or dishwasher hose that finally let go
- A slow plumbing leak you didn’t catch for weeks
If you have a finished basement, that’s often where the water will end up. We deal with wet basements all the time and have a tried and tested protocol in place to extract water from basements.
Every Hour Counts, Here’s Why
Time is your worst enemy when water damage becomes a reality. Here’s how it breaks down, from minutes to days.
- In minutes, water spreads across your floors and soaks into your drywall and baseboards.
- In hours, it wicks up your walls and easily gets into subfloors and furniture.
- In a few days, those wet materials will start to smell and grow mold.
That quick timeline’s exactly why we don’t split up the job of fixing and cleaning up your home. The faster the water’s gone, the more of your home you keep.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do before you get here?
