Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction
After the inspection and damage assessment, our water damage restoration process moves to the critical phase of water extraction. This step is essential for removing the majority of the water from your property. We utilize powerful pumps and truck-mounted vacuum units that can extract hundreds or even thousands of gallons of water swiftly and efficiently.
Our technicians are trained to strategically place equipment to maximize the extraction process and minimize further damage. By swiftly removing the excess water, we can significantly reduce drying time and the potential for mold growth or structural damage.
Our extraction process is thorough, targeting water trapped in carpets, padding, and upholstery, as well as water pooling on hard surfaces. We also pay attention to areas where water may have seeped into walls or other structural components.
Throughout the extraction process, we continuously monitor the moisture levels to ensure effective drying. Once the majority of the water is removed, we can proceed with drying and dehumidification to complete the restoration process.
Our goal is to restore your property to its pre-damaged condition as quickly and efficiently as possible, minimizing disruption to your life or business.
