Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction

Following the inspection and damage assessment, our water extraction process begins to remove the majority of water from your property. Utilizing powerful pumps and truck-mounted vacuum units, we efficiently eliminate hundreds or even thousands of gallons of water.

For extensive restoration or cleaning, we offer a move-out service to protect your belongings from further damage.

Our highly trained technicians swiftly initiate the water removal process using submersible pumps and industrial wet/dry vacuums. This reduces drying time, prevents secondary water damage, and inhibits mold and bacterial growth.

We inspect the carpet and pad, determining if removal is necessary to safeguard the subfloor. Specialized equipment such as moisture detectors, hygrometers, and infrared cameras are utilized to measure moisture levels and detect hidden water.

With water extraction complete, we move forward to Step 4: Drying and Dehumidification
