Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction
After our inspection and water damage assessment, SERVPRO of Manchester/Mansfield will start the water removal and extraction process. During this step we remove the majority of the water from your home, business, or property. With powerful pumps and truck-mounted vacuum units, our crew can quickly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons of water. This step requires thoroughness and patience to assure we remove as much water as we can. A major mistake some people make is thinking this is the end of the process. As one of our blog posts explains, removing the water isn’t enough. Professional thorough water removal sets the stage for success with the next step, drying.

Emergency Water Removal
Our highly trained technicians will begin the water removal process almost immediately. Depending on the amount of water, we may use powerful submersible pumps in addition to industrial strength, wet/dry vacuums. Removing most of the water helps reduce drying time and helps prevent secondary water damage and mold and bacterial growth.
