Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction
Removing Water From Your Property
Once our crew has arrived on site, inspected your property, and completed a full damage assessment, the next step we take is to remove any moisture. In this step, we remove the majority of the water using powerful water extraction equipment. Using our powerful equipment, we are able to quickly pump hundreds or thousands of gallons of water out of your property. Once this step is completed, we can begin the drying process!

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.
