When it comes to water extraction, not all processes are created equal. Choosing a reliable restoration provider like Renew By Grewe Restoration will save you time, money, and reduce the extent of damage to your property. Our experienced team employs a meticulous water extraction process designed to efficiently and effectively handle water damage events.

Our water extraction process is as follows:

1. Identification of Water Source and Type:  We start by identifying the water source—be it clean, grey, or black water. Understanding the type of water helps us determine the best safety measures and equipment to use. This crucial step also allows us to stop the flow of water, limiting further damage.
2. Safety and Protection Measures:  Before extraction begins, we prioritize safety for everyone involved. Our technicians don protective gear like gloves and masks, especially when dealing with contaminated water. We also ensure electrical safety to prevent accidents during the extraction process.
3. Water Removal:  This step involves the physical extraction of water using specialized equipment such as pumps and vacuums. Our goal is to remove as much water as possible, as quickly as possible, to minimize damage and reduce drying time.
4. Moisture and Humidity Control:  Once the bulk of the water is removed, we focus on residual moisture using dehumidifiers and air movers. Proper ventilation is also essential to ensure the area dries effectively.
5. Cleaning and Sanitizing: After drying, we clean and sanitize all affected surfaces to prevent mold and bacteria growth. This step is particularly crucial if the water is contaminated.
6. Damage Assessment: Finally, we assess the damage, check for residual moisture and potential mold growth, and recommend necessary reconstruction if the damage is extensive.

It’s important to understand that water extraction and mitigation are not the same. While they are closely related, they serve different purposes.

• Water Mitigation  encompasses a broader range of activities aimed at minimizing damage after a water-related incident. This includes drying, content restoration, and mold testing.
• Water Extraction, on the other hand, focuses specifically on removing standing water from your property. It’s usually the first critical step in addressing water damage , allowing us to move forward with the restoration process efficiently.

Emergency water extraction is vital following any water damage event. Delaying extraction can lead to more severe damage, which translates to higher costs for repairs. Choosing a restoration contractor like Renew By Grewe Restoration, available 24/7, ensures that you can address water damage no matter when it occurs.

Here are some reasons why timely water extraction is essential:

• Preventing Structural Damage:  Prolonged exposure to water can weaken walls, floors, and ceilings, leading to serious structural issues. Quick extraction minimizes these risks.
• Reducing Mold and Mildew Growth:  Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours in damp conditions. Fast action can help prevent health risks associated with mold exposure.
• Avoiding Health Risks: Contaminated water poses serious health threats, as it may contain harmful bacteria and pathogens. Quick removal is crucial to reducing health hazards.
• Reducing Costs and Recovery Time: The sooner water is removed, the less damage is incurred, significantly lowering restoration costs and recovery time.
• Mitigating Insurance Concerns: Prompt action can be vital for insurance claims, as companies often require evidence of immediate steps taken to prevent further damage.
