Standing water is the part of a water loss you can see, and it keeps doing damage every minute it sits. It wicks into drywall, soaks the subfloor, and runs down into the crawl space below. B&D Restoration pumps standing water out of homes across Statham and Barrow County fast, the front-door step that every dry-out starts with. We are IICRC certified and dispatch around the clock.
How we handle water extraction in Statham
Call & dispatch
A real person answers 24/7 and the nearest Barrow County crew rolls with truck-mounted pumps, air movers, and moisture meters.
On-site assessment
We find the source and map the full reach of the water, including what soaked into the subfloor, crawl space, and wall cavities.
Extract & dry
We pull the standing water, then run air movers and LGR dehumidifiers to a measured dry standard, not just the surface.
Verify & bill
We log moisture readings until the structure is dry, then document the loss and bill your carrier directly.
Fast standing-water removal
Speed is everything. The water we pull out in the first hour never gets the chance to soak deeper into the structure.
- Truck-mounted extractors. High-capacity units pull large volumes of water off floors quickly, without dragging equipment room to room.
- Portable extractors. Compact units reach upstairs rooms, tight hallways, and closets a hose cannot.
- Submersible pumps. For a flooded crawl space or a daylight basement holding inches of water, pumps move it out before drying even begins.
Whether the water is in a main-floor living room or a wet crawl space on red clay, getting it out is the first and most urgent move. On a slab home the water spreads sideways into the base of every wall it touches. Over a crawl space it drains down and pools below, so the plan changes with the layout of your Statham home.
Clean, grey, and black water
Not all water is equal, and the category drives everything we do next, from the gear we wear to what can be saved.
- Category 1, clean water. From a supply line or a fresh source. Handled quickly, most materials can be dried and kept.
- Category 2, grey water. From an appliance or overflow with some contamination. It needs more care and some materials come out.
- Category 3, black water. From sewage or flooding, carrying bacteria and pathogens. It calls for full PPE and safe disposal, which our sewage and black water crew is equipped for.
The CDC guidance on flood water explains why contaminated water is a health hazard you should not wade into or try to clean up bare-handed.
Every minute of standing water soaks in deeper. Call now and we will start pumping.
☎ Call (762) 728-6170Moisture mapping so nothing is missed
Pulling the visible water is only half the job. Water travels along the path of least resistance, wicking up drywall and pooling in the crawl space, so what looks dry can hide a soaked cavity.
We map the moisture with meters and thermal cameras to find where the water actually went, then dry to a measured reading rather than by appearance. Working to the IICRC S500 water damage standard means we treat the whole affected area, not just the wet spot you can see, which is what prevents the slow mold problem that shows up weeks later.
Before we arrive
If it is safe, shut the water off at the source and stay out of any standing water near outlets or appliances, since Category 3 water and live power are both hazards. The Ready.gov floods checklist is a good quick reference. As Statham keeps growing along the Highway 316 corridor, more paved area sheds rain faster, so flash flooding into homes and crawl spaces is something we see across Barrow County.
Insurance and getting started
Most homeowners policies cover sudden water damage, and fast extraction with proper documentation strengthens your claim. The faster the water is out and structural drying is underway, the smaller the eventual repair. B&D Restoration records the loss with photos and moisture readings and bills your carrier directly, so the paperwork is not on you. We do not quote a flat price sight unseen, so call for an exact quote once we see the water.
"A supply line let go while we were at work and there was water across half the house by the time we got home. They showed up quickly, pumped it all out, found the water that had run under the floors, and had dryers going that evening. Calm, fast, and they explained every step."

Common questions, answered
How fast can you get here to pump the water out?
We dispatch 24/7 and reach most homes in Statham, Winder, Bethlehem, Auburn, and Bogart quickly. Extraction is a race against the clock, since the water we remove in the first hour is water that never soaks deeper, so we get a crew rolling as soon as you call.
Do you have pumps for a flooded crawl space or basement?
Yes. We carry submersible pumps for a crawl space or daylight basement holding inches of water, plus truck-mounted and portable extractors for floors. We move the standing water out first, then start drying the structure that was under it.
What is the difference between clean and black water?
Clean water comes from a fresh supply line, grey water from an appliance or overflow with some contamination, and black water from sewage or flooding and carries bacteria. The category decides the safety gear, what can be saved, and how the area is cleaned and disposed of.
Will the water get under my floors and into the walls?
It can, which is why we do not stop at the water we can see. We map the moisture with meters and thermal imaging to find where it wicked into walls, subfloor, and the crawl space, then dry those hidden areas so mold does not start there.
How long does water extraction take?
The extraction itself is often a few hours depending on how much water there is and how far it spread. Drying the structure afterward takes longer, usually several days with equipment running, and we monitor it until the readings confirm it is dry.
Do you dry the home after extracting the water?
Yes, and it is essential. Removing the standing water stops it from spreading, but the materials that got wet still hold moisture. We set up air movers and dehumidifiers the same visit so structural drying begins the moment the water is out.
Does insurance cover water extraction?
Sudden water losses are usually covered. Fast extraction with clear documentation actually helps the claim, and we record everything with photos and readings and bill your carrier directly. Call (762) 728-6170 and we will walk you through it.
What should I do before you arrive?
If it is safe, shut the water off at the source and stay clear of standing water near outlets or appliances. Do not wade into water that may be contaminated. Then call us, and keep people and pets out of the affected area until we get there.
