Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction
After the inspection and damage assessment step, the water extraction process begins. This step removes the majority of the water. We use powerful pumps and truck-mounted vacuum units to quickly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons of water from your property. This step of the process is essential to getting the actual water restoration work started. The reason you need SERVPRO of New Philadelphia for this step, is because it would take you hours, maybe even days to get this type of water extraction completed on your property. Whether you own a home or commercial property that has experienced water damage, SERVPRO is Here to Help. We serve Malvern, Gilmore, Strasburg, and their surrounding areas.

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.
