Power Dry

When we had water damage to our floors, Power Dry came in and did wonderful job of mitigating the damage. In fact, they saved floors we were certain we would have to rip up and replace. Their service was very good and the technicians that came out to our house were very nice and professional. I would definitely use them again.

During a torrential rain storm, one of the kids ran up from the basement to deliver the bad news. Water was pouring in. This is stressful! I called my plumber, who is kind of a plumbing genius, and he recommended Power Dry. They were prompt, thorough and professional. Perhaps the greatest point of difference for me was the people. The estimator, the office staff and the techs were SO nice. This is what you need when you are all stressed out from water being where it doesn’t belong. Not cheap, but worth it!

If you are one of those unfortunate people out there who happen to own a home and can’t call a landlord to fix your troubles, you tend to rely on certain groups of people to help you out when daily living in your home goes south.
Take for instance, a 3-​year-​old in a 2^nd floor bathroom with plenty of toilet paper and a toilet that will not stop running. The power of water is an awesome sight to behold, but when it comes dripping and pouring through your 1^st floor ceiling, your shock and awe tends to belong more to the panic variety than wonder and amazement.
For those of you who have not had this life experience, I offer these sage bits of experiential wisdom: 1) don’t panic, 2) shut off the water, 3) get towels and mops, 4) call a plumber, 5) pray (can’t hurt), and 6) call Power Dry.
My family was the victim of just such an incident this past week, and needless to say you do feel rather helpless and worried when you see an upstairs bathroom turn into a sequel of «A River Runs Through It». Sooner rather than later, you are going to want to call professionals who can get to scene and help alleviate the moisture problem, for fear of mold setting in. That’s where Power Dry comes in.
We were fortunate enough to be home when this happened, so the damage was contained fairly readily. Our insurance agent (State Farm) recommended Power Dry, as they were a preferred provider for these types of situations. Although our guys were way over in Missouri on another case at the time we called, they got to our house as quick as possible and were able to start hooking up industrial blowers and dehumidifiers relatively quickly. The whole process probably took just under an hour. They were very methodical and certainly gave the impression that they had seen these situations many times before and knew what to do.
The sound of several blowers and dehumidifers can be rather disturbing … sort of like living on the tarmack at KCI. But you do what you have to do. After 48 hours, they were able to come back and take most of the equipment out, and another 48 hours later we were cleared to have all of the remaining equipment removed.
The guys who provided service to us were friendly, knowledgable, and even dealt well with our excited 3-​year-​old daughter.
I don’t recommend going out of your way to try and find an excuse to get the Power Dry folks over to your domicile anytime in the foreseeable future, but if you need them, they are a great bunch of guys and ladies to have on your side in a tough situtation.
