What's included
What's included in water cleanup services
Every water cleanup job is different, but most American Fork residential jobs include the core services below. If your job needs something outside this list - like full reconstruction or contents cleaning - we'll tell you upfront and quote it separately before we start.
Emergency water extraction
Truck-mounted and portable extraction units pull standing water from carpet, hardwood, tile, and concrete. We use RIDGID and Shop-Vac units for tight spots and a water extraction unit for large volumes. Most residential jobs are extracted within the first two hours on site.
Structural drying
We position Dri-Eaz and Phoenix dehumidifiers and air movers based on room size, layout, and materials. Desiccant dehumidifiers handle tough spaces like crawl spaces and basements. We monitor with a hygrometer every 24 hours until readings hit dry standard.
Moisture detection and mapping
A moisture meter, thermal imaging camera, infrared thermometer, and boroscope camera let us find water you can't see - behind walls, under floors, inside ceiling cavities. This is how we avoid missed moisture that turns into mold two weeks later.
Antimicrobial treatment
After extraction, we apply antimicrobial solution to affected surfaces to slow mold growth. For sewage or gray water losses, we use EPA-registered mold remediation chemicals and follow full containment protocols with plastic sheeting and negative air machines.
Debris and damaged material removal
Saturated drywall, insulation, baseboards, and subflooring that can't be saved get removed, bagged, and hauled away. We photograph everything before removal for your insurance file, then prep the space for rebuild.
Rebuild and restoration
Once the structure is dry, we replace drywall, insulation, baseboards, and subflooring, then paint and finish. You get one crew from start to finish, one invoice, and a final walkthrough before we call the job complete.

The service timeline
What to expect, step by step
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Call and dispatch
You call (855) 927-6272 and describe what happened. We ask the right questions - where the water came from, how long it's been sitting, whether it smells. A crew is dispatched immediately, and you get a text with the technician's name and ETA. Most American Fork addresses see us within 60 minutes.
Inspection and mapping
We walk the space with a moisture meter, thermal imaging camera, and infrared thermometer to find every wet pocket. A boroscope camera goes into wall cavities when we suspect hidden moisture. You get a written scope and a clear explanation of what's wet, what's not, and what it'll take to dry it.
Extraction and containment
Standing water comes out first with a truck-mounted water extraction unit and, where needed, a Shop-Vac or RIDGID wet vac for tight spots. We set plastic sheeting and polyethylene foam to contain the work area. If the water was contaminated - sewage backup, for example - we apply antimicrobial solution before anything else.
Drying and monitoring
We position Dri-Eaz and Phoenix dehumidifiers and air movers based on the size and layout of the affected rooms. Every 24 hours we return to log moisture readings with a hygrometer and adjust equipment. A typical American Fork bedroom dries in three to four days; a flooded basement can take five to seven.
Rebuild and final walk
Once readings hit dry standard, we remove equipment and start repairs. That means replacement drywall, insulation, baseboards, and subflooring where needed, then paint and trim. We do a final walkthrough with you, hand over the dry-out report and photos, and make sure you're satisfied before we pack up.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Moisture meter and hygrometer
Used to measure moisture content in drywall, wood, and concrete, and to track drying progress daily. We log readings room by room so you and your adjuster can see the dry-out in numbers, not guesses.
Thermal imaging camera and infrared thermometer
These find hidden moisture behind walls and under floors by reading temperature differences. They're how we catch water that a visual inspection would miss - the kind that turns into mold two weeks later.
Boroscope camera
A flexible camera that goes inside wall cavities and under cabinets to confirm moisture and check for mold growth. We use it before opening walls so we only cut where we need to.
Truck-mounted water extraction unit
Pulls hundreds of gallons per hour from carpet, hardwood, and concrete. It's the fastest way to remove standing water and the single biggest factor in limiting damage.
Dri-Eaz and Phoenix dehumidifiers
Commercial-grade refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifiers that pull moisture out of the air and structure. We size them to the job - a small bedroom gets one unit, a flooded basement gets a bank of them.
Air movers and negative air machines
Air movers keep air circulating across wet surfaces to speed evaporation. Negative air machines create containment pressure to keep dust and mold spores from spreading into clean areas during remediation.
HEPA vacuum and antimicrobial solution
HEPA vacuums capture mold spores and fine debris during remediation. Antimicrobial solution is applied to affected surfaces after extraction to slow mold growth while the structure dries.
Use cases
When to call for water cleanup services
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Sewage backup in a Canyon Crest basement
Heavy spring rain overwhelmed the city sewer line and backed up into a finished basement utility room and adjacent family room. About three inches of Category 3 water covered 400 square feet. Carpet, pad, and the bottom two feet of drywall were contaminated. → We contained the area with plastic sheeting, removed and disposed of contaminated materials, extracted the water, and disinfected with antimicrobial solution. Drying took six days with desiccant dehumidifiers and negative air machines. Rebuild included new drywall, baseboards, and flooring.
Water heater failure in Downtown American Fork
A 12-year-old water heater in a hallway closet failed overnight and released about 50 gallons onto hardwood flooring and into the adjacent bedroom carpet. The homeowner noticed the smell of wet wood the next morning. → We extracted the standing water, lifted and dried the hardwood with floor drying mats, and dried the bedroom carpet and pad. Moisture readings hit dry standard in four days. The hardwood was saved without replacement, and we replaced the carpet pad and reinstalled the carpet.
Problems we solve
Water problems we solve for American Fork homeowners
Most of our American Fork calls fall into a handful of categories. If you're dealing with any of these, call us now - the sooner water is extracted, the less it costs to fix.
Burst pipe or frozen supply line
We shut off the water if it's still running, extract standing water, remove saturated materials, and dry the structure with commercial dehumidifiers and air movers. We also coordinate with a licensed plumber to repair the pipe before we finish.
Water heater leak or failure
We extract, dry, and treat for mold risk. If the ceiling is water-stained, we open it up, dry the cavity, and repair the drywall. We also help you document the loss for insurance - water heater failures are usually covered.
Sewage backup in basement or crawl space
Our crews wear full PPE, contain the area with plastic sheeting, remove contaminated materials, and disinfect with antimicrobial solution. We dispose of waste per Utah regulations, then dry and rebuild the space.
Slab leak under flooring
We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to confirm the leak location, then coordinate with a licensed plumber for repair. After the repair, we dry the slab and subfloor, treat for mold, and restore the flooring.
Pricing process
What water cleanup costs in American Fork
$180 - $3,500 depending on scope
Water category and contamination
Clean water (Category 1) is the cheapest to handle. Gray water (Category 2) from washing machines or dishwashers requires antimicrobial treatment. Black water (Category 3) from sewage or flooding requires full containment, PPE, and disposal - which adds significant labor and material cost.
Square footage affected
Price scales with how much area is wet. A 100-square-foot bathroom is a very different job than a 1,000-square-foot finished basement. We measure affected square footage during inspection and quote based on actual scope, not a flat rate.
Materials affected
Carpet and pad are usually removed and replaced. Hardwood can sometimes be dried and saved with floor mats. Drywall, insulation, and baseboards that are saturated usually get removed and replaced. The mix of materials drives both drying time and rebuild cost.
How much do water cleanup services cost in American Fork?
Most residential jobs in American Fork run $180 to $450 for a small leak or appliance spill, and $1,200 to $3,500 for a flooded basement or multi-room loss. Price depends on how much water there is, what kind of water (clean, gray, or sewage), how far it spread, and whether rebuild is needed. We quote flat-rate after inspection and don't charge for the estimate.
