Water Mitigation Relies on Effective Extraction

There is a finite window for restoration and recovery for area homes when disasters like burst pipes, broken appliances, or substantial spills occur. However your home is impacted by water damage, we have effective mitigation solutions to help.

Deep Extraction Solutions

Water mitigation in Alum Rock homes always begins with the needed efforts to remove standing water concerns. With several inches or even feet of pooling in the property, we must start extraction as soon as possible. We have many powerful products in our stock, including trash pumps and submersibles, to rapidly remove this pressing threat to the house. However, submersibles and other pumps will not fully remove the surface water concerns.

Shallow Standing Water Removal

Once the majority of the surface water has been removed with the heavier extraction units in our inventory, we can provide a more controlled removal of the remaining puddling with mobile wet vacuums and specialized attachments. Wet vacuums are among the most versatile water recovery tools available. They can work in confined spaces, all flooring types, and even help with trapped standing water in structural cavities.

Trapped Moisture Removal

One of the final objectives of water removal services is to address moisture trapped in the building materials and contents of the affected space. Carpeting, for example, can rapidly absorb water and become fully saturated. Surface water removal does not address trapped moisture, so it must fall to additional extraction devices and approaches like:

• Weighted extractors
• Carpet wands
• Drying mats

Removing water is one of the critical elements of successful water mitigation services. We understand the urgency of returning your home to normal operating conditions as soon as possible and can perform several mitigative emergency services to help.
