24/7 Emergency Service
Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction
Once our team has fully responded to your Miami home or business we will work to complete our inspection of the damage. We will locate the source of the damage, and use our thermal moisture meter to find areas where there may be hidden moisture. Our water damage cleanup professionals will then begin the restoration process. One of the first steps in cleaning up water damage is to ensure we extract the standing water. This step removes the majority of the water from the area. We use powerful pumps and truck-mounted vacuum units to quickly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons of water from your property if needed.

Emergency Water Removal
Our highly trained technicians will begin the water removal process almost immediately. Depending on the amount of water, we may use powerful submersible pumps in addition to industrial strength, wet/dry vacuums. Removing most of the water helps reduce drying time and helps prevent secondary water damage and mold and bacterial growth.
