Water Extraction Company

It can be hard to believe that water is the most powerful and destructive element in an indoor environment. Yet flooding and excessive moisture can easily lead to structural damage and destruction of personal property as well. Such issues can become very serious indeed if the water clean up is not done quickly and the water becomes unsanitary.
The Importance of Having Water Quickly Removed
Reducing the harmful side effects of indoor water can be done through efficient and quick intervention. The first 24 to 48 hours are crucial. Water damage may look hopeless to fix, but quick response cleanup, drying, and restoration can yield simply incredible results.
The good news is that a water extraction process will remove this damaging water from your home or office. When you trust our water extraction company professionals at SERVPRO of Winter Park, you will have your drying time decreased to stop secondary water damage and mold from taking over. Our professionals utilize truck mounted vacuums and powerful pumps to rapidly pull out large amounts of water from your property.
The Negative Effects of Leaving Water Damage Unattended
There are various negative side effects that your property will suffer from if you do not quickly address the results of water damage indoors. One of the most severe is the formation of potentially toxic mold. Mold is a terrible problem that you have to stop before it gets started in earnest.
There is not much time to stop the growth of mold. This is generally a matter of only hours, never days or weeks. In order to stop mold from developing, you have to count on a rapid response from a water damage and restoration contractor that is professional and quick. While it is true that seriously perilous molds do not form every day, any such mold can create health problems. This is why effective mold removal should be done as soon as possible.
Restoring your property is more science than art. We look at three crucial criteria to determine if your personal property needs to be replaced or can be instead restored. These are the following:
- The quantity of damage to your property
- Contamination degree of the property
- Restoration costs versus replacement costs involved
Not dealing with this critical water damage upfront can also lead to serious interruptions in business for commercial properties, possible negative health risks, and increased financial burdens later.
How Our Water Extraction Process and Methods Work
The water extraction process starts with you making emergency contact with our company. SERVPRO of Winter Park will send out an inspection team of highly trained technicians. They utilize equipment including hygrometers and moisture detectors with other meters in order to determine the extent of the saturation. The team may also utilize infrared cameras so that they can locate any water (that is not obvious) behind ceilings and walls.
They go straight into the third step of water removal practically immediately. The amount of work involved and the process varies according to how much water is on your property. In cases where there is a lot of water, they might utilize potent submersible pumps to suck up excess water before turning to standard industrial wet and dry vacuums. These gas powered pumps will allow water to be constantly pumped out at a rapid rate and level. Units can be portable and truck mounted. In both cases, they efficiently deliver water removal fast. This way, we are able to decrease the amount of drying time so that you can avoid secondary water damage and stop mold from forming in the first place.
After the fourth step of drying is completed, we move on to step five sanitizing and cleaning. The final step six centers on the actual restoration work.
Using SERVPRO Over Smaller Water Damage Companies
There are a variety of reasons why you would want to work with a trusted bigger brand name company like us at SERVPRO rather than one of the smaller water damage firms. This starts with our ability to immediately respond and begin the water removal work. You simply can not afford any delays from when you call the contractor to when they respond, or you will have more problems and potentially greater damage. All water restoration companies may claim to be emergency providers, but few can deliver on that pledge. Our company will generally respond in an hour or less.
A bigger company like ours also has enough manpower and equipment available to not only quickly begin, but also to rapidly finish the job. We specialize in delivering such rapid water removal services so that we can get your property entirely dry quickly.
Another advantage of a larger and better-established company is that we can offer fast and accurate estimates and insurance company billing. Not only are our estimates quick and easy to get, but our project manager and inspection team will come out as fast as possible to put together a complete work proposal so that you know our price quote in advance of beginning the water removal and cleanup.
If you are covered in a flood or water damage insurance policy, then this will help you with the costs. Rather than have to pay upfront and wait for a claim to be reimbursed, we are able to dispatch the bill straight over to the insurance company. This saves you from having to pay upfront to begin the work. It removes the hassles from upfront billing and the later reimbursement paperwork and process.
Finally, a larger, more reputable firm like SERVPRO will offer completely guaranteed services. There are any number of poor quality contractors in this business. It is easier for them to keep operating as their services are usually paid for by insurance, not the customer. It leads to greater instances of poor quality workmanship, unfortunately.
Making sure that you get the best service possible, we offer an upfront guarantee. You will be 100 percent satisfied with our work when we complete the water cleanup services. Our job is not completely done until you are fully satisfied.
