It is the middle of the night and water is pouring through the kitchen ceiling from an upstairs supply line. You need it stopped, out of the house, and off the floors before it reaches the hardwood in the next room. That is exactly what an emergency call is for.
Free referral to independent, licensed and insured local pros. Zip codes served include 62225.

We are a referral service, not a contractor. The line routes emergency calls to independent local pros around Scott AFB who answer at night and roll with pumps and extractors already on the truck.
You will not be leaving a voicemail. The line is staffed through the night and on holidays.
Contractors work close to Scott AFB, so arrival times are often under an hour, depending on weather and call volume.
Submersible pumps, portable extractors, wet vacs, and a starter set of air movers and dehumidifiers are usually on the truck, so work starts the moment the pro walks in.
You get a clear price or written estimate before work begins, including any after-hours rate, so there are no surprises when the sun comes up.

The first visit focuses on safety and speed. Pros remove the water, protect what is still dry, and set the stage for drying the next morning.

The pro confirms the water is off, checks for live electrical hazards in wet areas, and tests outlets and fixtures near the water before anyone wades in.
When water is several inches deep, submersible or trash pumps move hundreds of gallons quickly, discharging it safely away from the foundation.
A water-filled ceiling can drop without warning. Pros puncture it in a controlled spot over a container to relieve the weight before it collapses.
Portable extractors and wet vacs pull water from carpet, tile, and hardwood. Area rugs are rolled and moved so they do not bleed dye onto the floor.
Air movers and a dehumidifier get placed before the pro leaves, so the drying clock starts right away.
Call +1-877-637-9008, say where the water is coming from and whether it is still flowing. If it is, you will be told how to find the main shutoff.
A nearby contractor calls back with an arrival time and heads out with pumps and extractors loaded.
A fast walkthrough covers safety and the extent of the water, followed by a price you approve.
The pro removes the water, starts drying, and books a return visit to check readings and plan repairs.
Do not wait for morning. A local pro can start tonight.

Arrival is often within the hour. The contractor will give you a specific window on the phone.
Pricing is set by the independent contractor. Some charge an after-hours fee, and they will tell you before work begins.
Only if the panel is dry and safe to reach. Never stand in water to touch electrical equipment.
A shop vac helps with a small spill, but it cannot reach water soaked into carpet pad, subfloor, or wall cavities. Anything more than a small puddle usually needs professional extraction and drying.
Keep everyone out of the room and do not poke it yourself. The pro will drain it in a controlled way to relieve the weight before it collapses.
