24/7 Emergency Service
Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction
SERVPRO of Mandarin's highly trained technicians begin the water removal process almost immediately upon arrival at your home or business. Depending on the type of water source, and amount of water, our technicians may use powerful submersible pumps in addition to industrial strength, wet/dry vacuums to extract. Even if standing water isn't present, our team may still extract certain types of flooring to make it easier to remove or dry. Removing most of the water helps reduce drying time and helps prevent secondary water damage. By extracting the standing water quickly we can control the humidity, and decrease the chance of further damage to the structure. Mold and bacterial growth may also be present if standing water isn't extracted quickly.
Move-Out / Pack-Out
If your home requires extensive restoration or cleaning, SERVPRO of Mandarin can conduct an organized, efficient move-out to protect your belongings from further damage.
