Basement and Crawl Space Water Cleanup in Des Moines

Basements and crawl spaces are particularly vulnerable to water damage, which can lead to foundation issues and leaks. Clay soil shifts as it freezes, thaws, wets, and dries, which can crack clay sewer laterals and let roots inside. Our team in Des Moines specializes in cleaning and drying these difficult-to-access areas. We remove contaminated materials, sanitize surfaces, and put solutions in place to prevent future water intrusion, protecting your home's foundation and air quality.

Water Heater Leak Cleanup in Des Moines

Tank water heaters wear out over time as sediment builds up, and a failed tank can release 40 to 75 gallons. Private wells serve many rural homes, and nitrates, iron, and bacteria make regular well testing an important habit. Water often spreads into garages, closets and adjacent rooms. We replace the heater, add a drain pan when possible and dry the surrounding area. Damaged drywall and baseboards are replaced after drying.
