Water extraction removes standing and trapped water with pumps and extractors before drying begins. The sooner you do it, the less water soaks into drywall, subfloor, and framing. A household wet vac handles a small spill, but not an inch of water across a room. If you have standing water in Tysons, call Flood Masters at (571) 450-9560. We average a 1-hour arrival and start extraction on the first visit.
Do this right now, before we arrive
● Find and stop the source if you can do it safely: shut the main valve, or call building management in a condo or apartment. ● Stay out of the water if power is on. Standing water plus outlets, extension cords, or a panel is an electrocution risk. Leave it to us if you're not sure. ● Don't use a regular household vacuum. Only use a wet/dry vac for small, clean spills. ● Don't assume the water is clean. Water from a toilet, a drain, or a storm can carry bacteria. If it looks or smells wrong, stay out and call us. ● Photograph the water line and the source before anything gets moved. ● Call us. We'll tell you what's safe to move while the crew is on the way

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can Flood Masters get to my property in an emergency?
Our average on-site response time is 1 hour, 24/7, across Fairfax and the DMV. Crews are staged throughout our service area specifically to hit that window day or night, including weekends and holidays.
Is someone actually available at 2 a.m., or does it go to voicemail?
A real Flood Masters team member answers the phone around the clock, not an automated system or a call center. You'll talk to someone who can dispatch a crew immediately.
What should I do while I'm waiting for your crew to arrive?
If it's safe to do so, shut off the water source and avoid walking through standing water near outlets or electrical panels. Move valuables away from the affected area if possible. Our team will guide you through anything else when you call.
Do you handle both emergency mitigation and the full restoration afterward?
Yes. Flood Masters handles the entire process from emergency extraction through drying, repair, and full restoration, you don't need to hire separate contractors for each stage.
Will you work directly with my insurance company?
Yes. We bill your insurance carrier directly and handle the claim paperwork and documentation, so you're not stuck managing that on top of the damage itself.
Do you respond to commercial properties as well as homes?
Yes. Flood Masters provides 24/7 emergency response for both residential and commercial properties, including offices, retail spaces, and multifamily buildings.
