WATER REMOVAL AND EXTRACTION IN LOUISVILLE

Water Extraction and Flood Water Removal Service in Louisville Area

Once the water damage inspection had been conducted, we have a good idea of what type of water we are dealing with and the extent of the damage. Next, we can start the water extraction and flood water removal process. We use high-powered water extraction pumps and vacuums to take the water out of your property for this task.

Water extraction and flood water removal is the primary step before the actual water mitigation can take place. Do not confuse water extraction with water mitigation since they are two different things. One removes water from your property, and the other one reduces the property loss caused by a flood.

Let’s quickly go over what takes place during the water extraction process below.

Pack-Out Service

If there is any water on the floors inside your property, furniture and other belongings might be at risk. Pack-out services usually take place at the same time as water extraction services. The fewer time items spend in water or surrounded by moisture, the better their chances of not getting completely ruined.

We will help determine what items are possible to preserve or restore and which ones will have to be thrown away. Once items are classified, we will arrange for them to be removed from the water-damaged areas. This way, we will minimize the damage’s scope and lower the overall cost of the restoration.

Items that do not need to be disposed of can be restored with our contents restoration service.

Extracting water and flood water removal

Since the first goal is to get your property completely dry in the shortest amount of time, some heavy-duty equipment must be brought in. Water extraction equipment removes water fast and helps prevent more serious structural damage. With all of the water gone, we can start the drying process and mold remediation and prevention.

The more time water spends soaking on your floor, carpets, and other building materials, the higher chances of mold forming occur. We use industrial-strength vacuums and pumps that are powerful enough to remove water quickly and efficiently.

Vacuums are used to remove excess water from wood floors, carpets, and porous surfaces. A specialized cleaning solution is used to disinfect the affected area. Extracted moisture is then stored in a tank for later disposal. When the water level is high, a submersible pump can pump the water out continuously to the outside drain. 

To ensure no left-over water hiding behind walls or floorboards, we use infrared cameras to find it. Effective water extraction and flood water removal involve removing water from damp surfaces that do not have standing water. This will altogether remove any water trapped in the cracks and grooves in the body.

As you see, we use some powerful equipment to ensure that there is no water left behind in the flooded area. Once all the water has been removed, Orange Restoration can begin drying and dehumidifying the property.
