We use industry leading technology to effectively and efficiently get the job done, and our water extraction services are of the highest standard.
Potential risks of not removing standing water quickly

Mold also brings with it the potential of causing severe health risks if allowed to grow and remain in you property. This is why it is vital to both the health of the residents and property that a professional water extraction specialist is brought in to solve the problem.
Categories of water damage
The severity of water damage corresponds to the type of water involved. This is broken down into one of three categories:
Category 1: Clean Water
Water that is uncontaminated at source and does not present a health risk.
Category 2: Grey water
Water that has become contaminated with bacteria or pollutants. It is unsafe for consumption and likely to cause illness.
Category 3: Black water
Foul-smelling and containing high levels of harmful contaminants, such as bacteria and toxins. Presents a clear and potentially serious risk to health.
The water damage restoration process
The process of water damage restoration will typically start with any residual water being pumped away so that furniture and other valuables can be removed, and further damage can be prevented. This is followed by the introduction of energy-efficient drying and dehumidification equipment, we can extract from any surface like carpet, upholstery, tile, etc.
