Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction
After the damage is inspected and the scope of the work is defined, we can begin the water extraction process. Our team at SERVPRO of Vero Beach follows IICRC guidelines for restoration and water removal and we continue to innovate and learn how to better serve you. If there is standing water, our team uses a variety of techniques and equipment to better suit your unique situation. Depending on the type of flooring, there are different courses of action for us to take. During the water extraction process, our technicians use a truck-mounted vacuum and powerful pumps and vacuums to remove the majority of the water. Besides our wonderful team, our truck-mounted vacuum is one of the best assets we have for the water restoration process.

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.
