Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction
Water removal after a major storm or water line break can be quite extensive depending on the amount of damage to your home or business. After our trained specialist has done a thorough inspection and damage assessment of the property, the next step is to begin the extraction and restoration process. Our technicians will begin almost immediately to remove the water from your home or business. This can be done with industrial strength vacuums or submersible pumps, depending on the amount of water. In addition, if your home requires extensive repairs, SERVPRO of Southwest Dallas offers moving and storage services to make the process even more streamlined.

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.
