Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction
When you have water damage to your home, SERVPRO® of Friendswood/Pearland, Stafford, Missouri City North and Fresno will respond quickly to prevent further damage and begin the water repair and restoration process.
Our customer-focused professionals will assess the residential water damage to your property. Then, we’ll help you understand the severity of the damage so you’re able to make the best decisions for the restoration of your home. Our top-notch people use the most advanced equipment to detect hidden moisture and extract standing water.
After the inspection and damage assessment step, the water extraction process begins. This step removes the majority of the water. We use powerful pumps and truck-mounted vacuum units to quickly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons of water from your property.
