How does SERVPRO remove water from the home quickly?

The most efficient method of getting rid of standing water is to use a professional West Lynn restorer. Our technicians can quickly set up submersible electric-powered pumps to reduce the standing water level. If necessary, our technicians can supply power using portable generators. Portable power can be the safest way of running equipment in properties with severe levels of water intrusion. The typical duct length for submersible electric pumps is up to twenty-five feet. This means we can transport water from your property to an exterior sewer point or into a truck-mounted water storage tank. 

Are submersible water pumps effective at removing all water from my home?

Submersible pumps are a commonly used equipment for flood damage in West Lynn. However, this equipment becomes less effective as the standing water level reduces. Usually, a restorer uses pumps to lower the standing water level to below two inches before switching to an extraction method. Water extractors are available as truck-mounted equipment for residential homes and in portable units, which can be useful for flats or tenement buildings. Depending on your flooring, carpets, and fittings, we may opt for a weighted extraction tool or a lightweight tool with an adjustable wand to draw water from a property.

How can heavy furniture be protected from water intrusion?

• Attempt to stop the source of water entering the property
• Block furniture by placing flood blocks beneath and raise them from the water level
• If it is not possible to block furniture, use a tarpaulin to wrap the lower part of the furniture and protect it from moisture
