Little Rock is a small community about 32 km west-north-west of the centre of Meridian. Its nearest neighbours on the list are Collinsville at about 13 km, Decatur at about 14 km and Chunky at about 18 km. It sits in the western part of the service area, with Collinsville to its east-north-east.
The water calls that come from Little Rock follow the usual pattern: a storm that opens a roof or wall, a supply line that splits inside a house, or rain that enters a crawl space or a low door. The first advice on the phone is the same in each case, and it starts with the water at its source.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
Little Rock is about 32 km from the centre of Meridian, roughly west-north-west of it. Collinsville is its nearest neighbour on the list, about 13 km to the east-north-east, and Decatur is about 14 km to the south-west. Chunky lies about 18 km almost due south.
A storm moving across this western side of the area can reach several of these towns close together. The phone line sends the crew that is free, and a crew working at Decatur or Collinsville may be the closer one to a Little Rock house.
Wind that lifts shingles or pulls a soffit or fascia away from the wall is the most common way storm water reaches a house in this town. The rain then runs along the rafters and into the ceiling, and the stain can appear a day or two after the storm.
A fallen limb on the roof is the other usual opening. The crew covers the hole, removes the wet insulation below it and dries the framing before a roofer repairs the damage above.
Heavy rain can find a low door, a vent or the slab edge and come in faster than it drains. The floor near the door takes most of the water, and the base of the wall can wick water up for a foot or more before it is seen.
Check the gutters and downspouts after a heavy rain, and make sure water runs away from the foundation. Water that pools against the house can keep the crawl space damp for days.
The floor is mapped with readings, and the flooring is lifted where the moisture has gone beneath it. Carpet and pad that have soaked through are removed, and hardwood that has cupped is lifted so the subfloor can be dried from underneath.
The equipment runs until the readings come back to dry, which can take several days in humid air. The crew gives you the readings as the job goes on and explains any change to the schedule.

The crew removes the wet material and dries the structure to readings, which is what limits mold. Mold inspection and remediation are separate work under the rules that apply in Mississippi, and this site does not name a licence for them.
No. Opening a wall without a reading can hit a wire or a supply line. The crew uses readings to find the wet area, and opens only the part that is needed.
