Water damage from floods, hurricanes and the fury of mother nature can destroy your home, furnishings and appliances. It is a very serious problem that requires professional attention to mitigate and restore your home.
Water extraction equipment is the primary tool used to remove standing water, puddles, pools and any other liquid that has affected carpet or flooring. Extraction tools include wands, portable carpet extractor machines and truck-mounted units.
The first step is to find and stop the source of the unwanted water – this may be as simple as closing off a broken pipe, but it can also be as complex as identifying a faulty sewage system or even a flooded basement or crawl space. Once the source of the unwanted water has been stopped, then the crew can begin to take on the actual restoration process.
The Importance of Using Water Extraction Equipment for Efficient Carpet Cleaning
Wands are the first extraction tools to be used – they provide quick and easy removal of the “easy” water; puddles, pools and any other standing liquid that has saturated carpet or other flooring surfaces. Once the wands have been used, then a more heavy-duty extraction tool such as a portable flood extractor or a patented water claw should be utilized.
These powerful extractors have a high CFM and provide superior suction power when compared to standard portable and truckmount machines. They can be run in tandem with the Vacuum Pac, which provides a hose-in connection to any standard extraction tools (including a wand or water claw) that allow for a 2 inch connector. This allows for a greater volume of water to be extracted and sucked away more quickly than with any other extractor on the market.
