CALL NOW — GET A FREE ESTIMATEOr text us your problem → We reply in under 5 min"A pipe burst in our laundry room and water was everywhere. The crew was here in under an hour with extraction equipment. They were professional, explained every step, and the price was exactly what they quoted. Our floors were saved."
"Called at 10 PM on a Sunday when our basement started flooding from a storm. A real person answered. They showed up within 90 minutes with pumps and had the water out by morning. Can't recommend them enough for Greensboro homeowners."
"Our water heater failed overnight and soaked the whole first floor. These guys knew exactly what to do — extraction, drying, dehumidifiers, the works. They handled the insurance paperwork too. Flat rate, no surprises."
HERE'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU CALL
"We only succeed when you're satisfied. No fix = no fee. No surprises. Period."
The IICRC S500 workflow our crews follow on every Greensboro water loss — six operational phases, not a sales funnel.
A technician — not a call center — answers and walks you through immediate steps: locating the main shutoff, killing power to wet circuits at the breaker, and documenting the scene with photos before anything moves. We log address, water source (supply, drain, sewage, storm, appliance), affected floors, and any standing water depth so the dispatched truck arrives loaded for the correct category and class of loss.
Lead tech performs an IICRC S500 inspection: penetrating and non-penetrating moisture meters on every affected wall cavity, thermal imaging to find hidden migration paths, and a written moisture map. We classify the loss by water category (Cat 1 clean, Cat 2 gray, Cat 3 black) and class of evaporation load (Class 1–4). That classification — not a guess — drives equipment count, drying days, and price.
Truck-mounted and portable extractors pull free water from carpet, pad, hard surface, and sub-floor. For Category 2 or 3 losses we erect 6-mil poly containment and run negative-air HEPA machines before any porous material is disturbed. Carpet pad, wet insulation, and unsalvageable drywall (typically the bottom 24" — a "flood cut") are removed and bagged on-site rather than fanned dry in place.
Air movers and LGR (low-grain refrigerant) dehumidifiers are sized to the cubic footage and Class of loss using standard psychrometric calculations. Each day a tech returns, logs temperature, relative humidity, grains per pound, and moisture content of framing, subfloor, and drywall. Equipment isn't pulled until readings sit below the dry standard for the assembly — usually under 16% wood moisture content and within 4 points of unaffected reference materials.
If water sat longer than 48 hours, contained sewage, or affected porous materials we couldn't remove, an EPA-registered antimicrobial is applied per label dwell time. A final clearance inspection produces a signed dry log and photo set sized for insurance carriers — the same documentation Guilford County adjusters expect when reviewing a claim.
Drywall, baseboard, paint, flooring, and trim are rebuilt to pre-loss condition by the same lead. Because mitigation and reconstruction share one scope and one invoice, there's no handoff gap where carriers commonly dispute responsibility. You sign one Certificate of Satisfaction at completion.
No commitment until you see and approve the quote. Most Greensboro customers are surprised by how affordable professional water damage restoration is.
The same operational framework Greensboro mitigation crews and insurance adjusters use to scope a loss. Use it to triage what you're looking at before anyone arrives.
| Category | Typical source | Risk profile | Required response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category 1 — Clean | Supply lines, faucets, tub overflow, rainwater (no contact with contaminants) | Low pathogen risk if extracted within 24 hours. Becomes Cat 2 after 48 hours or contact with soiled materials. | Extract, dry in place where possible, no demolition required. |
| Category 2 — Gray | Dishwasher / washing machine discharge, aquarium failure, toilet overflow (urine, no solids), sump pump backup | Significant microbial load. Wet porous materials (carpet pad, drywall touched by water, insulation) are typically removed. | Containment, extraction, controlled demolition of wet porous materials, antimicrobial treatment. |
| Category 3 — Black | Sewage backup, toilet overflow with solids, rising groundwater, river or storm surge | Contains bacteria, fungi, viruses, and chemical contaminants. Health hazard without proper PPE and containment. | Full PPE, 6-mil containment, negative-air HEPA, removal of all porous materials water contacted, EPA-registered disinfectant. |
Part of one room; minimal carpet; low-porosity materials wet.
Entire room; carpet + pad wet; moisture wicked up walls < 24".
Water from overhead; ceilings, walls, insulation, subfloor saturated.
Hardwood, plaster, concrete, masonry — deeply trapped, low-permeability materials.
Washing machine supply hoses
Standard rubber hoses are rated ~5 years; most are never replaced. Failure dumps ~600 gal/hr.
Water heater tanks (10–12 yr)
Anode rod depletion → bottom corrosion → slow seep that floods overnight when seam finally lets go.
Refrigerator ice-maker line
1/4" plastic tubing behind the fridge — punctures easily; leaks unseen into subfloor for weeks.
Toilet supply line / flapper
Continuous-flow failure of a running toilet sends 1–3 gal/min into the floor if the bowl can't keep up.
PEX or copper pinhole leaks
Common in 1970s–90s Greensboro builds; pinholes drip <1 cup/day for months before drywall shows.
HVAC condensate pan / line
Clogged drain backs into the air handler; in attic units, the ceiling below is the first thing to fail.

Our service coverage area — Greensboro, NC and surrounding communities
Every Greensboro zip code has its own plumbing era, soil type, and storm exposure. Here's what our crews actually see when a call comes in from each area — built from field notes across 138+ recent jobs.
Near N. Elm St. & Wendover Ave.
Pre-1940s homes with original galvanized supply lines — high burst-pipe risk during January cold snaps. Plaster walls hide leaks longer than drywall, so moisture meters are essential.
Around Country Club Dr. & Cornwallis Dr.
Mature tree canopy means slow-clogging gutters and ice-dam-driven roof leaks. Many homes have finished basements that flood through window wells during heavy Piedmont thunderstorms.
Near UNCG and Walker Ave.
Older rental stock with deferred plumbing maintenance. Common calls: supply-line failures behind washing machines and toilet wax-ring leaks dripping into ceiling cavities below.
Off Lake Jeanette Rd. & Lawndale Dr.
Lakeside humidity accelerates secondary mold growth after even small leaks. Crawl-space moisture is the #1 hidden cause of musty odors in this area.
Near Friendly Center & Wesley Long Hospital
Slab foundations with embedded copper supply lines — pinhole slab leaks are common after 30+ years and require thermal imaging to locate before extraction begins.
Southwest Greensboro / I-73 corridor
Newer subdivisions on heavy clay soil. Yard grading often pushes stormwater toward the home, causing repeat basement and crawl-space intrusion after South Buffalo Creek floods.
Elm St. corridor & Center City Park
Converted lofts and historic commercial buildings share riser stacks — a leak two floors up can travel three units before anyone sees it. Fast extraction limits liability.
I-40 / Bus 40 corridor
Service trucks dispatched from the Greensboro hub typically arrive in 35–75 minutes. Same IICRC standards, same direct-insurance billing as the in-city response.
