When you are facing water damage, make sure to call a company that has the pumps and expertise to handle the situation. Call SERVPRO right away.

Water Damage Restoration Needs Extractors

Extraction is vital to area homes' overall water recovery and restoration processes. Standing water must be addressed promptly before greater harm to the house results. Several extractors can fit the needs of a residence, and this begins with any pooling first, which is often the target of pumps and vacuums.

What Makes Submersible Pumps Common Choices? 

Submersible pumps are preferred options during water damage restoration in Downtown Knoxville for the rapid removal of standing water. Because they run on electricity, getting these units up and running fast in an emergency can be easier than larger fueled machines. Similarly, electric submersibles are more versatile and mobile, able to be moved from one room to another without considerable reconfiguration.

Are These Pumps Always Best?

While submersible pumps are versatile and mobile when standing water can threaten multiple rooms of a residence, this does not always make them the most efficient choice for the work to be done or capable of completing the work that remains. More powerful water removal tools like truck-mount or gas-powered trash pumps often best perform deep extraction needs. Similarly, too shallow damage is not remedied by the submersible pump and requires wet vacuums.

What Extractors Can Help After a Loss?

Because submersible pumps are not always the best choice, it can be beneficial for homeowners to understand and identify other equipment that SERVPRO might use in their homes to complete water mitigation and restoration services. Some of these can include:

• Wet Vacuums 
• Truck-Mount Pumps
• Trash Pumps

Choosing the right extraction tool during water mitigation is important to protect property and contents. In many cases, the appropriate water removal tool is a submersible pump.
