The lower level of my split-level has water on the floor. Can it be dried?

Yes. We extract the water, pull wet carpet and pad and dry the slab and walls.

Can wood paneling be saved after a leak?

Sometimes. We check behind it for wet drywall and mold before deciding.

My water heater is original to the house. Should I worry?

A tank that age is past its expected life. If it is leaking, shut off the water and call us.

Do you clean up sewage that comes up through a lower-level drain?

Yes. It is treated as Category 3 water, with full removal, cleaning and disinfecting.

Local conditions

Ranches, split-levels and lower floors

Collier Heights is about 1,700 single-family homes spread across 54 related subdivisions on more than 1,000 acres, and families moved in by the hundreds from 1952 through the late 1960s. Houses built in that stretch are now 60 to 70 years old, and that is the age when original water heaters, older galvanized or copper supply lines and cast iron drains start to give out, often all in the same few years.

The city describes Collier Heights as mostly ranch and split-level houses, with American small houses and a few bungalows, and the district joined the National Register in 2009. Split-levels put a den, laundry or bedroom partly below grade, and those lower rooms take water first, from a failed washer hose or water heater inside or from runoff pushing against the wall outside after a heavy rain.
