Our Water Extraction Process
Not all water extraction processes are the same. Choosing a reputable water damage restoration company like Water Extraction Team can save you time and money and prevent further damage to your property. Our expert technicians follow a proven water extraction process to ensure that your home or business is properly protected. Here's how we do it:
- Identification of Water Source and Type: The first step is to determine the source and type of water, such as clean, grey, or blackwater. This helps us understand the necessary safety precautions and equipment to use. Identifying the source also allows us to stop the flow of water, preventing additional damage.
- Safety and Protection Measures: We always prioritize safety by wearing protective gear, such as gloves, masks, and waterproof clothing. We also ensure electrical safety to prevent accidents, especially in areas with contaminated water.
- Water Removal: Using specialized pumps, vacuums, and equipment, we quickly extract the majority of water from the affected area to minimize damage and reduce drying time.
- Moisture and Humidity Control: After the bulk of the water is removed, we use dehumidifiers , air movers, and drying equipment to remove any hidden moisture from materials that may not be visible to the naked eye.
- Cleaning and Sanitizing: To prevent mold and bacteria growth, we thoroughly clean and sanitize all affected surfaces, especially if the water is contaminated. We also use antimicrobial agents when necessary.
- Damage Assessment: Once the area is dry, we assess the damage, test for remaining moisture, check for mold growth, and recommend any necessary reconstruction or repairs.
Are Water Extraction & Water Mitigation the Same Service?
Water extraction and water mitigation are closely related, but they are distinct services. Water mitigation is a broader term that covers all the steps involved in reducing water damage after an event, including drying, content restoration, and mold prevention. Water extraction, on the other hand, is specifically focused on removing standing water from your property as the first step in the restoration process. While both are critical to the overall recovery process, water extraction is often the first line of defense in preventing further damage.
Why Emergency Water Extraction Is Critical
Emergency water extraction is vital after any water damage event. Without immediate action, your property can suffer significant damage, leading to higher repair costs and extended recovery times. Choosing a reputable, 24/7 emergency water extraction company like Water Extraction Team is key to protecting your property from further harm. Here's why emergency water extraction is so important:
- Preventing Structural Damage: Water can quickly weaken structural elements like walls, floors, and ceilings. The longer it sits, the more damage it can cause to these critical components.
- Reducing Mold and Mildew Growth: Mold and mildew can begin to grow within 24-48 hours in a moist environment. Quick water extraction helps prevent these harmful fungi from spreading.
- Avoiding Health Risks: Contaminated water, such as sewage or floodwater , can contain harmful pathogens. Quick removal reduces the risk of exposure to these health hazards.
- Reducing Costs and Recovery Time: The faster the water is removed, the less damage occurs, which helps minimize restoration costs and time.
- Mitigating Insurance Concerns: Taking immediate action to extract water from your property can strengthen your insurance claim, as most insurance companies require prompt mitigation efforts.
