SERVPRO Provides Rapid Storm Flood Damage Clean Up to Restore San Jose Homes

Any flooding after a San Jose storm calls for emergency services water damage assistance from skilled technicians.

To handle your flood damage in San Jose, SERVPRO’s Green Fleet arrives at your door, stocked and ready within hours of your call. The equipment we select depends on the magnitude of water, how high it needs to get lifted, and the solids and contaminants within. While some pumps in our arsenal can take a significant number of suspended solids, others will be better for high-lift capacity.

Professional Water Removal Services Equipment

SERVPRO has access to advanced technology for water clean up, including:

• Submersible Pumps – These pumps are used by our crews most often, especially in occupied spaces. They are quieter than other kinds of pumps, run on electricity, and have a broad capacity to handle anywhere from 100 to 18,000 gallons a minute.
• High-Pressure Pumps – These are pumps used most often in high-lift situations, yet they are not the best for handling suspended solids. We use high-pressure pumps most for water extraction from underground garages or basements.
• Self-Priming Trash Pumps – Whenever debris gets suspended within the water, we reach for this fuel-powered equipment first. Due to the limited lift capacity, they are best used when the lift-need is less than 25 feet.
