Do Professional Extraction Tools Work Better Than Traditional Water Removal?

SERVPRO has the tools that you need Brooklyn.

Drying Up Your Brooklyn Apartment Involves Many Sophisticated and Powerful Tools in Our Extraction Equipment Inventory. 

There is a distinct difference between professional extraction and drying and what you might be able to do on your own in the apartment after a disaster. As much as DIY cleanup can seemingly save money, it is not always as cost-effective as it might seem.

In terms of water removal for Brooklyn homes and apartments alone, our SERVPRO professionals can utilize dozens of different extraction and drying tools to get the job done. The choices between these pieces of equipment vary depending on the circumstances, the area where the damage occurs, and the types of materials that have gotten involved.

When Is the Damage Bad Enough to Need Professionals? 

It is important to note that water loss emergencies are rarely mild enough to not require some form of intervention and work by our experienced technicians. Some conditions that could encourage a prompt securing of our SERVPRO team are:

• Standing Water – Pooling water in a damaged area can be destructive to many of the materials. Wood and sheetrock exposed to standing water can quickly absorb this water and allow for a much more rapid deterioration of the construction element. 

• Migrating Water – You might not always know how widespread water loss effects can be, but if water has moved beyond the surface of materials, you need the sophisticated tools of our team to identify moisture pockets and dampness beyond what the eye can see. 

• Hidden Damages – In the same way that water can migrate throughout your apartment, damages can exist and persist out of sight without discovery tools and positive pressure drying systems getting used. 

What Extraction Tools Work Best? 

We have many efficient extraction tools, including: 

• Submersible Pumps
• Trash Pumps
• Wet Vacuums

With the open layout of many area apartments, your unit can become quickly compromised by a substantial loss. Give our SERVPRO of Northwest Brooklyn team a call today at (718) 522-4400 to help.
