What Does Water Extraction & Drying Involve?

Water extraction is the first step in the water damage restoration process. This involves removing the water from a property using powerful pumps and vacuums. Once the water has been removed, the drying process can begin.

Drying involves using high-powered, professional grade fans and dehumidifiers to remove the remaining moisture from the affected areas. This can be a lengthy process, but it is necessary to prevent mold growth and further damage to the property.

What Are the Benefits of Professional Water Damage Restoration Services?

When you contact a water damage restoration specialist, you can rest assured every possible issue will be taken care of. Our team is experienced in identifying hidden mold and deterioration which someone without training would never find.

Removing damaged materials requires great care, as there is a chance of exposure to mold spores or chemicals such as asbestos. This could result in severe respiratory problems.

No one likes dealing with their insurance company, especially after a water damage emergency. We handle it all for you to make the process as easy as possible by working directly with your insurance company. We want to help you receive the full amount of assistance you are entitled to under your homeowners' policy.

Why Is Water Extraction Important?

Water extraction is one of the most important steps in the water damage restoration process. Removing the water from your property can prevent further damage and mold growth. Moisture left to fester can also become a breeding ground for a nasty pest infestation. Silverfish, flies, cockroaches, and ants thrive in moist environments and can harm your property and health.

Our Water Extraction & Drying Process

A full inspection must be done once we arrive at your home or office after any water damage. This process focuses on the category and amount of damage caused by the water.

The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, And Restoration Certification (IICRC) has outlined three categories of potential contamination:

  1. Clean Water: Water at this level is determined to originate from a safe and sanitary source. Rainwater, water supply lines, and toilet tanks fall into this subset.
  2. Grey Water: The grey category indicates contamination. Sources may include dishwashers, aquariums, or washing machines.
  3. Black Water: This refers to water containing toxic agents detrimental to human health, such as sewage, seawater, or rain, following a natural disaster.

What Devices Are Used to Extract Water from a Home or Business?

In our water extraction and drying process, we employ the highest caliber of powerful, industrial-grade equipment, including:

  • Submersible pumps
  • Extraction devices
  • Fans
  • Air movers
  • Dehumidifiers
