Water Extraction Methods Used in Professional Restoration
Fast water removal is the first step to preventing further damage after a flood, leak, or burst pipe. At EcoRestore Water Damage & Restoration, we use commercial-grade extraction methods designed to quickly remove standing and trapped water from homes in Draper and surrounding areas.
Why Proper Extraction Matters
Water that’s not removed quickly can seep deep into walls, subfloors, and insulation. Without thorough extraction, this moisture can lead to mold, rot, and costly structural damage. That’s why we use multiple methods based on the location, type, and volume of water involved.
Common Water Extraction Methods We Use
1. Portable Wet/Dry Vacuums
Useful for smaller water intrusions, wet vacuums quickly extract water from hard floors, carpets, and tight spaces. These are ideal for localized leaks or appliance overflows.
2. Truck-Mounted Extraction Units
Our most powerful method, truck-mounted systems are capable of removing hundreds of gallons of water quickly. These units are ideal for major floods or multi-room saturation, and they’re commonly used in storm damage response.
3. Submersible Pumps (Sump Pumps)
For basements or deep flooding, we deploy high-capacity pumps to remove large volumes of standing water. These are essential for crawl spaces or areas without drainage.
4. Weighted Extraction Tools
These tools apply downward pressure as they move over carpets, squeezing and extracting water from padding and subfloors. This helps save carpets that would otherwise need replacing.
5. Cavity Extraction Techniques
When water is trapped behind walls or under cabinets, we may use small access points and suction tools to remove moisture without full demolition. Learn more about moisture detection and how we locate hidden damage.
Next Step: Professional Drying
After extraction, we begin the drying phase using air movers and commercial dehumidifiers. Learn how our full process works on the extraction & drying hub.
