The Emergency Water Extraction Process for Banks Properties

Emergency Flood Water Extraction

Floodwater from outside is treated as contaminated, so extraction is followed by removal of soaked porous materials and cleaning.

Emergency Water Damage Cleanup

Wet rugs, boxes and debris are cleared, and surfaces touched by dirty water are cleaned before drying starts.

Sewage Backup Cleanup

After a sewage backup, soaked porous materials are removed and hard surfaces are disinfected before drying begins.

Carpet Water Extraction Services

After extraction, the carpet is lifted so air can reach the pad and subfloor. Soaked pad is often replaced.

Standing Water Removal

Standing water spreads under walls and into the next room. Extraction follows it until every wet floor is cleared.
