Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction

Following the inspection and damage assessment step, our trained professionals will begin water extraction. During the step, the majority of water is removed by using high-powered pumps and truck-mounted vacuums.  This equipment is capable of removing hundreds and even thousands of gallons of water from your home or business!
