How quickly does standing water need to be removed?

As fast as possible. Water starts wicking into drywall and subfloor within minutes, and mold can start growing in 24 to 48 hours.

For a small, clean spill, yes. For standing water across a room, a basement, or a garage, no. You need pumps and truck-mounted or portable extractors, and then drying equipment for what's left.

What equipment do you use?

Submersible pumps, professional extractors, air movers, dehumidifiers, and moisture meters. The goal is to remove the water quickly without damaging what's underneath.

Can you extract water from a parking garage or commercial space?

Yes. We respond to commercial properties, including offices, retail, and multifamily buildings.

How long does the whole process take?

Extraction usually takes hours. Drying takes about 3 to 5 days in most cases. Repairs, if needed, come after. You get a timeline after the assessment.

What if the water came from a sewage backup?

That's a different job with different safety rules. See our sewage cleanup and backup repair page for Tysons.

Do you also sanitize and remove odors afterward?

Yes. We sanitize affected areas and treat odors as part of the job.

Do you offer a free assessment?

Yes, on-site and free, with no upfront cost.

Fast Water Extraction in Tysons, VA

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

Extraction, drying, and restoration: what's the difference?

People use these terms like they're the same thing. They're three separate stages:

Extraction removes the bulk water: standing water and water soaked into the carpet and pad. This comes first and matters most.

Drying removes the moisture that extraction can't reach, inside walls, subfloors, and framing, using air movers and dehumidifiers. Most jobs take about 3 to 5 days

Restoration is the repair work: replacing materials that couldn't be saved and putting the space back together.

Skipping drying after extraction is the most common reason a "dry" room grows mold weeks later.

Where water extraction jobs happen in Tysons

Tysons has more than basements. The places we're called to are different from a typical suburb:

Underground and structured parking. Garage floors and drains can back up in heavy rain, and water reaches storage rooms and elevator pits.

Ground-floor retail and office suites. A burst line or sprinkler discharge can flood a whole slab.

Condo and apartment units. Water from a floor above soaks the carpet, pad, and the baseboards of the units below.

Townhomes and finished basements in nearby Vienna, McLean, and Falls Church, where sump pump failures and window-well overflows are the usual cause.

If you're not sure which category your situation falls into, call. We'll tell you over the phone.

Insurance and cost

We bill your insurance carrier directly and handle the claim documentation. The on-site assessment and quote are free.
Price depends on how much water, how many rooms or square feet, what kind of water, which materials got wet, and how many days of drying equipment the job needs. You get a written quote after the assessment, before any work begins.
Sudden and accidental water losses, like a burst pipe or a failed appliance, are often covered. Rising flood water usually needs a separate flood policy. Check your policy language.
