Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction

After completing the inspection and damage assessment, the next critical step in the water damage restoration process is water extraction. This step is crucial for removing the majority of the water from your property, laying the foundation for effective drying and restoration.

At SERVPRO of Framingham, we utilize powerful pumps and truck-mounted vacuum units to quickly and efficiently extract hundreds or even thousands of gallons of water from your property. These specialized equipment allow us to remove water from various surfaces, including carpets, flooring, and upholstery, effectively minimizing the risk of further damage and mold growth.

Our technicians are trained to handle water extraction with precision and care, ensuring that every affected area is thoroughly dried to prevent structural damage and mold growth. By promptly extracting water from your property, we can significantly reduce the drying time and minimize the disruption to your daily life.

At SERVPRO of Framingham, we understand the urgency of water damage situations. Our prompt and efficient water extraction process is designed to restore your property to its pre-damaged condition as quickly as possible, allowing you to return to your normal routine with minimal disruption.
