Water mitigation
Water mitigation and dry-out in Louisville, KY
A flooded basement, a burst pipe, a failed water heater, a storm that overwhelmed the sump. We extract the water, dry the space properly, deal with the mold risk, and then fix whatever let the water in.
Signs you need it
When speed matters
Standing water in the basement or crawl space
Every hour it sits, it soaks further into wood, drywall and insulation.
A leak found late
Mold can start within 48 hours of a water event. Drying fast prevents a second job.
Wet insulation and materials under the house
They do not dry on their own in a crawl space. They have to come out.
An insurance claim to document
Sudden water losses are often covered. We document the job the way adjusters need it.
What we do
Extract, dry, protect, repair
We remove standing water, pull out material that cannot be saved, set commercial air movers and dehumidifiers, and monitor moisture until the structure is dry, not just the surface. Because we are the crawl space and basement company, the dry-out leads straight into the repair: the drainage, sump, encapsulation or structural fix that deals with the cause. On covered losses we manage the insurance claim with you.
We work on basements and crawl spaces. For large whole-house losses with contents and upper floors involved, a full restoration contractor may be the right call, and we will say so.
- Water extraction and removal of ruined material
- Commercial drying equipment, moisture monitored to dry

a week agoZach and his team did an amazing job. Came out fast to give me a quote. Once I was ready he was able to work with me and take on a few hurdles that wasn’t expected. My crawl space looks amazing! I feel much better being in my house knowing mold has been…
a week agoI can’t say enough how much I recommend this company. The whole time everyone was helpful and willing to answer any question we had. The work took less than two days. We had other estimates for our crawl space, with lower grade materials. WaterTight saved…
2 weeks agoSeriously couldn’t be more pleased with our results. The team came in, worked so hard, got the job done so efficiently and were super polite and helpful. I will continue to recommend to my clients in real estate as we see our fair share of bad crawlspaces…
Questions
Water mitigation and dry-out: what people ask
Still have a question? Call the office, Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
How fast can you get here?
Call (502) 701-7882 and tell us there is standing water. Those calls go to the front of the schedule.
Will insurance cover it?
Sudden, accidental water damage such as a burst pipe or failed appliance is often covered. Long-term seepage and groundwater usually are not. We help you document the loss either way.
Can wet insulation and drywall be saved?
Rarely. Once they are saturated they hold moisture and grow mold. Removing them is faster, cheaper and safer than trying to dry them in place.
What happens after the dry-out?
We tell you why it flooded and price the repair that stops it: drainage, sump, encapsulation or framing repair. You decide.
