Skilled Technicians Crucial for Water Removal
Burst pipes, malfunctioning appliances, torrential rains, and more can inflict significant water damage inside Eagle homes. Master Restoration crews prepare for rapid standing water removal by earning Water Damage Restoration Technicians (WRT) certification from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). We support our technicians’ training and skills by investing in scalable commercial-grade water extraction equipment inventories, ensuring efficacious disaster recovery.
Water Extraction Prepares for Speedy Drying
Prompt and thorough water extraction in Eagle sets the stage for successful structural drying. Skeptical about the value of aggressive extraction? Consider how washing machine spin cycles remove as much liquid as possible before you transfer a load of wash to the dryer. Clothes or other textiles in the washer are soaking wet until centrifugal action (spinning) forces significantly more fluids out of the fabric. Spun items dry quickly.
Extraction of excess liquid water saturating building materials and fixtures after leaks or flooding provides the same baseline effect as fabric spinning but for saturated building materials. Master Restoration relies on negative air pressure, or suction, to pull liquids off surfaces and out of porous materials. Extraction equipment includes:
- Submersible pumps work to remove standing water exceeding 2 inches in depth. Hoses deposit water and debris into treated plumbing drains or outside.
- Truck-mounted extractors suck through wands passed over floors by trained WRT technicians. Fluids collected and contained via hoses await lawful disposal as hazardous waste.
- Weighted extractors take the truck-mounted units to another level. Technicians “ride” the extractor, adding pounds that squeeze more liquids out of carpeting and padding, suctioning them and collecting them for off-site disposal.
- Floor mats adhere to hardwood flooring where moisture detectors indicate the presence of trapped water. Attached hoses focus suction into truck-mounted extraction equipment.
- Wall and ceiling extraction systems drain trapped water through holes drilled just above the joint between walls and floors or punched in ceilings. Hoses again facilitate the water extraction to outdoor truck-mounted reservoirs for appropriate disposal.
- Portable or “backpack” extraction units have hand-held wands and a smaller tank carried by a technician. These flexible units permit the capture of liquids in confined areas and spaces too remote inside your Eagle home to receive servicing from truck-mounted equipment.
