How SERVPRO Removes Water From Carpet in Lockport / Lemont/ Homer Glen

Water Removal Options for Saturated Carpet in Federal Way Homes 

Many of our specialty tools connect to our extraction devices like submersible pumps or self-priming trash pumps to provide Lockport / Lemont / Homer Glen homes with an efficient water removal solution. These attachments are often designed to regulate the moisture and saturation removal of flooring options like carpeted areas of your house. Our fast response during these emergencies can protect damaged portions of flooring when possible. 

There are dozens of potential options for effective water removal for Lockport / Lemont / Homer Glen homes, depending on the specific circumstances. For carpeted areas, we have two types of units to remove moisture from the carpet and the padding beneath it, stationary and self-propelled machines. Our SERVPRO production manager can determine the need for these tools during the initial scoping process of the job and determining which available extractors could complete the needed tasks most efficiently. 

Self-Propelled Extraction Tools 

These are motor-powered and can move around the carpeted area at a consistent speed. In most cases, these are weighted extractors that squeeze carpet and padding beneath it tightly together to force moisture to the surface. A vacuum system on the unit can pull the displaced water from the surface and into the designated discharge location. Many of these same units are ride-on machines, allowing additional weight from the technician to improve the effectiveness of extraction even more. 

Stationary Tools 

This equipment is not motorized, meaning that though it works similarly to the weighted extractors in the self-propelled options, these exclusively use the weight of our SERVPRO technician. These stand-on stationary units can vary in size, but the use of them remains the same. Our professionals stand on the device, and the onboard vacuum removes the surface moisture. This powerful extractor can then get moved over to a new section, and the process starts again until all of the excess water has gotten removed. 

Extractors play an essential role in the recovery of water-damaged residences. Our SERVPRO of Lockport / Lemont / Homer Glen professionals have a large inventory of recovery tools and extensive experience to help however you need. Give us a call anytime at (708) 301-4200.
