The Clean Water Extraction (Category 1) Process for Properties in Palm Harbor

Wet Carpet Water Extraction

Clean water in carpet is pressed out with weighted extraction tools. Because the water is clean, the carpet can often be dried and kept.

Standing Water Pump Out

Pumping removes deep water quickly and keeps it from wicking higher into walls and cabinets while extraction gets under way.

Ceiling Leak Water Removal

A bulging ceiling is drained through a small opening so the weight comes off before it can fall.

Clean Water Removal From Flooring

Water is followed under baseboards and thresholds into nearby rooms, so no wet flooring is missed.

Appliance Leak Water Cleanup

Clean appliance water dried quickly usually leaves cabinets and flooring in good shape. Readings confirm when the area is dry.
