Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction
Shreveport House and Water Extraction
Now that we have arrived at the Shreveport house to grapple with the water loss, our customer is relieved to see our SERVPRO team off-loading water removal equipment. Since our operational plan has been devised, the first step is to extract as much liquid water as possible, can begin.
The Volume of Water Removal Is Crucial to Restoration
The amount of water, in gallons or location, directs us to select the most expedient manner of extraction. For large volumes of standing water, we can utilize our truck-mounted, independently powered, pump for removal. We may direct the unwanted water into a nearby drainage system or our holding tank. Our WRT water restoration technicians can break up into groups to relocate fixtures and furnishings from the water loss areas of the structure. For significant water damage, we can transport the contents to our off-site facility for storage, cleaning, and drying. We can use a tagging system and barcode scanning to catalog the inventory for security and re-setting to their original places in the dried and restored Shreveport rooms, "Like it never even happened."
Our arsenal of:
• Water Extractors
• Air Movers
• LGR dehumidifiers
All play a role in accomplishing our goal--to swiftly restore our customers' home to its preloss condition, always trying to salvage items and building elements, rather than replacing them. We know how to save carpets and subflooring, whether a concrete pad or wood.

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.
