Our Water Extraction Process

Not all water extraction processes are the same. Choosing a reliable restoration provider like Accountable Home Services, which is an expert in water extraction, will save you time and money and minimize damage to your property. Here's a glimpse of our water extraction process:

 

•  Identification of Water Source and Type:  This initial step helps us determine the necessary safety measures and equipment.

•  Safety and Protection Measures:  We ensure safety by wearing protective gear and considering electrical safety.

•  Water Removal:  We use advanced equipment to remove water quickly to prevent further damage.

•  Moisture and Humidity Control:  After removing the water, we focus on residual moisture using dehumidifiers and other drying equipment.

•  Cleaning and Sanitizing:  Once dry, we sanitize the area to prevent mold and bacterial growth.

•  Damage Assessment:  We assess the damage, test for moisture mold growth, and recommend reconstruction if needed.

 

Are Water Extraction & Water Mitigation The Same Service?

Although frequently used interchangeably, water extraction and water mitigation refer to distinct yet closely related services in the restoration industry. 

 

Water Mitigation is a broad term that encompasses a range of activities designed to minimize damage caused by water following events like flooding , leaks , or other water-related incidents. This service includes drying the affected areas, restoring contents, removing affected household items, reconstruction, mold testing , and controlling humidity. Essentially, water mitigation encompasses the whole process of restoring a property to its pre-loss condition after water damage. 

 

Water Extraction  is a specific part of the water mitigation process that focuses primarily on removing standing water from your home or business. It's typically the first step in addressing water damage and is vital in reducing the extent of damage. By promptly extracting the water, we can move on to the next phases of the restoration project, such as drying, dehumidifying, and sanitizing the affected areas. 

 

Why Emergency Water Extraction Is Critical

Emergency water extraction is vital to reduce further damage and save costs. Here's why:

 

•  Preventing Structural Damage:  Prompt extraction helps minimize risks of damage to structural elements.

•  Reducing Mold and Mildew Growth: Quick extraction is crucial to prevent mold and mildew growth.

•  Avoiding Health Risks:  Quick removal of contaminated water reduces exposure to health hazards.

•  Reducing Costs and Recovery Time:  The faster water is removed, the less damage is incurred, reducing cost and recovery time.

•  Mitigating Insurance Concerns:  Prompt action demonstrates your commitment to mitigate damage, which is crucial for insurance claims.
