Water Extraction

Flooding is bad news for any home, no matter the circumstances. Maybe you experienced leaks after a storm, a burst pipe, or regional flooding. No matter why your home has flooded, the biggest danger is actually the long-term damage that can occur due to inappropriate water exposure. Water lingering in your walls, floors, furniture, and fixtures can be incredibly dangerous. Seeping water encourages mold growth and can cause power shorts and even fires if water gets into the electrical components of your home’s structure.

Water extraction is the process of pulling water out of your home using the latest detection and extraction technology. Water extraction goes beyond draining and mopping up pooled water. The extraction process allows professionals to pull excess moisture out of your walls and ceiling, carpet pad, and furniture. This is essential for preventing both long-term water damage and preventing mold from taking root in the hidden moist surfaces of your home after a flood. Water extraction can remove pockets of water behind the wall and ceiling, water creeping behind your walls, and pull water up from your carpet.

How do you know if your home needs water extraction services? If you have recently experienced a flood or a serious water leak, it’s important to get an inspection and determine how extensive the water damage really is. Water damage happens over time, so if you can identify leaked or flooded water that is still hiding in your home, it can be extracted before the worst of the water damage occurs. Water can now be found using infrared cameras and hygrometers (humidity sensors) to locate water hidden where the eye can’t see.

If you can smell must, if you can see water spots in the walls or ceiling, or if your carpet has yet to dry out, then water extraction may be necessary. If you suspect that there might still be water in your home structure or carpet pad, it’s best to get an inspection to determine if your home needs water extraction.

There are two types of water problem that water extraction treats over time: “smart water” and “dumb water”. Dumb water is what most people expect. It is water that has already settled in the location where it will do the most damage. Water pooling on your floor or soaked into the carpet or furniture is dumb water.

Smart water is water on the move. It may have leaked from your roof or upstairs pipes and is now trickling behind your walls to spread water damage and possibly even encounter electrical wiring.

Water extraction can help you soak up and dry out dumb water. It can also use infrared cameras to track down smart water and pull it from your walls before any excessive or secondary water damage can occur. From there, your water extraction team will hunt for soaked materials and traveling water until your home is once again dry and safe.
