Cold Water Extraction

Cold water extraction refers to the process of removing water and abnormal moisture from a property. It’s a viable process that is essential in protecting buildings from water damage. Likewise, water extraction lowers the chances of mold build-up and also fastens the drying process.

Flooding and pipe burst can put your building at risk of water damage as well as mold infestation. Water extraction is recommended to protect your loved ones from the health-threatening mold. Involving a reputable water extraction company saves you time and money, and you get quality services.

People use different ways to get rid of excess water that aren’t always safe or effective. For the best results, it’s recommended to leave the water extraction work in the hands of experts.

Water extraction experts use the following tools for successful removal of standing water:

• Wet or dry vacuums. These are meant for eliminating excess water from porous surfaces, hardwood floors, as well as carpets. The professionals use a cleaning solution to decontaminate the affected area. They then extract the excess moisture and channel the water into a tank.
• Infrared cameras. These help trace ‘concealed’ water either in the ceiling or behind the building’s walls.
• Pumps. Cold water removal professionals are capable of eradicating gallons of water within a short period using pumps. They use pumps to channel the water outside, leaving your home or premises safe and dry. In case the water level is abnormal, they use submersible pumps to remove the water.
• Movable and truck-mounted extraction units.
• Hygrometers as well as moisture sensors to ascertain the levels of moisture saturation

The presence of water around your house as a result of floods or leakages puts your home at risk of mold infestation. Apart from water extraction, it’s also thoughtful to involve experts in inspecting your premises for mold build-up.

The initial step to managing mold is through seeking mold testing services. Mold removal experts can easily determine the extent of mold invasion. If the mold levels are high, they will then initiate the mold removal process.

The fungi can be present in your home without your knowledge. The spores are capable of lying dormant until there is a presence of water.

The entire process of ensuring the safety of your home involves:

• Contacting a reputable water extraction company.  Ensure that you engage a well-known company to get value for your money and also to avoid shoddy work.
• Assessing the extent of water damage.  The experts assess the water damages  as a result of water retention. They also find the best way of getting rid of the excess water.
• Water extraction. The experts then begin the water extraction process to secure your house from the risk of mold infestation.
• Drying and dehumidifying. After removing the excess water, the experts inspect the walls and floors because they might be porous. They use your room dimensions and temperature to determine the dehumidifiers to dry your home.
• Cleaning and repairs. The whole process may leave your house in a mess. The professional will then assist in clearing the mess.
• Refurbishment. The experts will then restore your house in its former condition. This may involve repairs, replacing the carpets, or changing drywall.
