Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction

Removing The Water From Your Property

Once we have completed the inspection and damage assessment stage, our technicians move into the water extraction stage. In this phase, our technicians work to remove the majority of the water present on your property after a loss. To do so, our team uses powerful extraction equipment that can efficiently pump out large amounts of water very quickly.

Emergency Water Removal

Our highly trained technicians will begin the water removal process almost immediately. Depending on the amount of water, we may use powerful submersible pumps in addition to industrial strength, wet/dry vacuums. Removing most of the water helps reduce drying time and helps prevent secondary water damage and mold and bacterial growth.

  • Remove Excess Water
  • Use Submersible Pumps and Industrial Wet/Dry Vacuums

Inspect the Carpet Pad and Carpet

We inspect the carpet and pad and determine if they should be removed to protect the subfloor.
