Emergency Water Extraction Services in Andover
From the devastating 1991 tornado to regular spring storms, Andover has faced its share of water emergencies. When flooding strikes, you need a local team that responds immediately.
Flooded Basement Water Removal
Andover sits in an area where heavy spring rains and rapid snowmelt can overwhelm drainage systems. Older homes near downtown Andover may have aging foundation waterproofing, while newer developments in east Andover can face drainage challenges as the area continues growing.
Burst Pipe Water Damage
Kansas winters bring freezing temperatures that stress plumbing systems. When pipes burst in Andover homes, water can spread quickly through walls, ceilings, and floors. Our team extracts water, locates all affected areas, and begins structural drying before mold can take hold.
Appliance Leak Cleanup
Water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators can fail without warning. These leaks often go unnoticed until significant damage has occurred. Vortex removes water, dries affected materials, and restores damaged areas completely.
Storm and Flood Damage
Andover's location in Tornado Alley means severe weather is always a possibility. When storms bring flooding, wind driven rain, or roof damage that lets water inside, our 24/7 team responds quickly to extract water and protect your home from further damage.
Sewer Backup Cleanup
Sewer backups require immediate professional attention due to contamination risks. Our technicians are trained in Category 3 water handling, safely removing contaminated water and thoroughly sanitizing affected areas to protect your family's health.

Water Damage in Andover Homes
Andover's housing stock includes everything from established homes near downtown to brand new construction on the east side. Each faces different water damage risks:
Older Homes (Pre-1990)
May have aging plumbing, settling foundations that allow water intrusion, and original sump pumps that fail during heavy rains. Basements in these homes often need extra attention.
1990s to 2000s Construction
These homes often have finished basements that increase damage potential from flooding. Polybutylene plumbing in some homes from this era is prone to failure.
Newer Construction
Modern homes have better waterproofing but may be built in areas with less established drainage. Lot grading issues can direct water toward foundations during heavy rains.
Regardless of your home's age, Vortex has the experience to handle water damage effectively and restore your property completely.
