Water damage can spread quickly throughout your Nampa home, requiring you to act fast and directly to resolve these concerns before they impact a greater space. Whether caused by a pipe burst or appliance failure, substantial volumes of water must be removed rapidly to allow for restoration to follow. Recovery technicians like our master restoration team utilize multiple pieces of equipment to extract and discharge standing water successfully, but few tools have the versatility of wet vacuums.
Water extraction in Nampa homes relies heavily on wet vacuums because they can move so quickly from room to room, are effective in multiple situations, and are less limited by confined spaces.
How Wet Vacuums Work
Wet vacuums operate similarly to traditional floor vacuums in your household. The difference is that this high-powered suction passes through built-in moisture-resistant filters and into a sealed tank to keep the contents from leaking. Vacuums can vary in size, from portable units with onboard tanks to larger models that discharge to a drain.
Master Restoration Applications for Wet Vacuums During Mitigation
Water damage recovery is one of our most common restoration callouts, so our team often utilizes wet vacuums in the mitigation process. The need for rapid surface water removal is universal during water damage emergencies, as this is the most effective means of slowing the deterioration of structural elements and setting the stage for effective drying and dehumidification.
Many scenarios are best for wet vacuums over other extraction options in our inventory:
- Wet vacuums are effective in basements and crawl spaces that face standing water concerns
- Wet vacuums work well against non-porous flooring in bathrooms and kitchens, mainly when used with squeegee wands.
- The vacuums are effective on carpeted floors when combined with specialized wands to reach the padding layer.
Effective cleanup with wet vacuums paves the way for us to stage air movers, dehumidifiers, drying mats, and other equipment designed to evaporate and draw out moisture from structural elements.
