Extraction and Water Removal in Agoura Hills is a Critical First Step in Water and Flood Restoration

Mitigation is one of the earliest efforts that experienced restorers like our SERVPRO team take when approaching a water-damaged residence. Pooling can saturate floors and wall systems, causing greater damage or the need for controlled demolition and reconstruction. By starting emergency services like water removal upon arrival, we can prepare the home for restoration work to come.

What Attachments Increase Production and Versatility of Extractors?

Often an extraction device on its own is not all that is required for water removal in Agoura Hills properties. Given the affected materials and surfaces where water can pool and threaten building elements or contents, we have several attachments for water removal equipment in our inventory or Green Fleet of service vehicles. Some of these include:

• Squeegee Wands – Using squeegees on hard flooring elements like wood and tile can quickly manage any pooling on the surface. Squeegees can corral water into the u-shaped extractor for removal, leaving little moisture behind to towel up. 
• Carpet Wands – These extraction tools have a high suction rate to grab trapped moisture in small strips rarely wider than twelve inches. These extraction devices can remove the majority of water saturating the upper layer of carpeted floors. 
• Weighted Extractors – These pads use the weight of our SERVPRO technicians to force carpet and padding against the solid subflooring. Displaced moisture can be collected and removed using an onboard vacuum.

Water removal remains one of the most critical processes for reducing damage to a structure and its contents. Having available options for extraction to work with our leading inventory of water removal equipment ensures this process is efficient.
