How Do You Extract Water in Your Home or Business?
When we arrive at your property, our first step is to perform a safety assessment. This might involve shutting off utilities like electricity and gas (if it’s safe to do so) and assessing potential electrical hazards caused by water exposure. Then, we inspect the extent of water damage, including the location and source, and determine the scope of the affected areas.
We categorize water according to industry standards based on contamination level. Clean water comes from broken pipes or rainwater, gray water contains mild contaminants like washing machine overflows, and black water is heavily contaminated with sewage or floodwater. Each category requires specific handling procedures.
To remove water, we use high-powered pumps, wet vacuums, submersible pumps, and specialized vacuums to extract water from carpets and upholstery. Once water levels have dropped, we employ industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to remove lingering moisture from the air and promote circulation and drying throughout the affected area.
How Do You Prevent Mold After Water Extraction?
Think of mold spores like airborne hitchhikers. They’re practically everywhere. While we can’t eliminate them entirely, we can significantly reduce their chance of establishing a foothold in your space. The answer lies in removing their food source: moisture.
Preventing mold growth after water extraction is the best way to safeguard your property and health. While removing the standing water is a critical first step, it’s not the finish line. Mold spores are surprisingly resilient and can lie dormant for long periods, so we go a step further.
Following the thorough drying process, we apply antimicrobial treatments to all affected surfaces. These powerful solutions are a double-edged sword. They kill existing mold spores and inhibit their regrowth for an extended period.
