Water Extraction – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does water extraction work?

Water extraction is the process of removing water from a home or property and returning it to its pre-flood condition. This involves using heavy-duty pumps, industrial vacuums, and specialized cleaning equipment to remove standing water, moisture, and other contaminants. The process also includes drying out wet materials such as carpets, walls, and furniture. After the water has been completely removed, our team of experts can assess any additional damage and develop a plan for restoration.

Which method is used for water extraction?

The method of water extraction used depends on the type and amount of water damage. For example, if the area is flooded with several feet of standing water, then a pump may be necessary to remove the majority of the water before any other techniques can be used. If there are smaller pockets or areas of moisture, then a water extractor or wet vac can be used to suction out the remaining moisture, while an air mover or dehumidifier may be necessary to thoroughly dry the area and remove any lingering moisture.

What is an example of a water extraction?

An example of water extraction is the process of placing a wet vac or water extractor on the affected area and suctioning out any excess moisture that remains. This process helps to prevent further damage from occurring, such as mould growth or warped floors and walls.

What are surface water systems?

Surface water systems are systems designed to manage stormwater runoff from roofs, driveways, patios, streets and other surfaces. These systems prevent large amounts of contaminated water from entering bodies of water by collecting, storing and treating the runoff before it is released into local waterways. Examples of surface water systems include rain gardens, bioswales and permeable pavement.
