Water damage from flooding is an unpleasant experience and can cause damage to areas of a property that may go undetected, such as cupboards, shelving and cavities. By missing these areas when it comes to water extraction, or by simply drying with a fan, a build up of water is inevitable, leading to puddles, moisture and long-term damage.
Water extraction is the term used in the process of removing water from a source. This is done by using industrial drying and water extraction machines to remove areas where water may still be present in a flood or a leak that a wet vacuum fan may not be able to reach. These machines can be air movers, floor blowers, heaters, dehumidifiers and heat injection.
Improper drying techniques can cause problems such as:
Some of these problems can be easily remedied, whereas others can cause more extensive and costly damage, making it extremely important to extract water professionally and thoroughly, as soon as possible.
The water extraction process will typically include the following:
Unless the water source has been found and stopped, it’s pointless just extracting the water when the source will only bring more water in! This can be as simple as closing your main water pipes.
Removing pockets and puddles of water is the next step to stop the damage to your property from progressing further and leaving it unsalvageable. There are many things that, if treated quickly, can be returned to their best possible state after a leak.
While some water may not be visible, it is important for it to be removed as it can mean that problems like mould, mildew and odour, for example, will continue.
After water extraction, water mitigation should be considered in order to prevent further damage and to salvage as much as possible.
This can include services like:
All of these services can help contribute to the return of a building’s original state and make you feel safe and comfortable in your property again.
