Our process to Water Extraction
Water extraction is a must-have process if your house has water that you can’t figure out where it is coming from. Water extraction can prevent extensive damage to your home.
Note that water extraction should be done quickly by a professional. Water extraction and water mitigation professionals will have the tools and equipment as well as the most efficient method to do the tough job.
The process of water extraction begins with removing excess water from the flooring and grounds of the property. This is done to reduce the risk of damage to the property. Also note that water extraction prevents the growth of molds and assists in the restoring of the condition to the property.
Water extraction can be done in the following steps.
Locate the source of the excess water. Stop or fix the cause of the problem once found.
Check the area for any safety hazards.
Check the extent of the water damage and identify all areas affected. A moisture meter and thermal imaging may be utilized to see the extent of the damage.
Using a pump or vacuum, remove and extract the excess water.
Dry the affected area visible or not visible using air movers and dehumidifiers. The air mover will force the water to quickly evaporate and the dehumidifier will pull moisture from the affected area.
Once these steps are complete, water mitigation can begin.
It is important to quickly contact a water extraction professional in the event of water damage. They can identify the problem and suggest the work that will need to be done.
