Our Standing Water Removal Process

Our systematic approach ensures safe, thorough standing water removal while protecting your property and health:

1. Emergency Assessment

We quickly assess the situation to identify safety hazards, water source, contamination level, and the best removal approach for your specific situation.

2. Safety Measures

Before beginning water removal, we implement necessary safety measures including electrical disconnection, personal protective equipment, and area isolation.

3. Water Source Control

We locate and control the source of water to prevent additional accumulation during the removal process, ensuring effective and permanent water removal.

4. Pumping and Extraction

Using appropriate equipment for the water type and location, we systematically remove standing water starting with the deepest areas and working efficiently.

5. Debris Removal

We remove debris and contaminated materials that were affected by standing water, preparing the area for thorough cleaning and disinfection.

6. Initial Cleaning

After water removal, we perform initial cleaning and disinfection to eliminate contamination and prepare the area for the drying process.

Health and Safety Considerations

Standing water poses serious health and safety risks that require professional handling. Our certified technicians follow strict safety protocols to protect everyone involved in the water removal process.

Standing water can become contaminated quickly, especially if it has been present for more than 24-48 hours. Bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens can multiply rapidly in standing water, creating serious health hazards. Our team uses appropriate personal protective equipment and follows industry safety standards for handling all types of contaminated water.

Electrical hazards are another major concern with standing water. Water and electricity create deadly combinations, which is why we always assess electrical systems and implement proper safety measures before beginning any water removal work. Our technicians are trained to identify and mitigate electrical hazards associated with water damage.

Structural safety is also a priority during standing water removal. Large volumes of water can compromise structural integrity, and we evaluate these risks before proceeding with removal operations. Our experience allows us to work safely even in challenging conditions while protecting the structural stability of your property.

Why Choose Professional Standing Water Removal?

While it might seem possible to remove standing water yourself, professional water removal provides critical advantages that protect your health, safety, and property:

Professional equipment removes water much faster and more completely than consumer pumps or shop vacuums. Our industrial pumps can remove thousands of gallons per hour, significantly reducing the time water remains in contact with your property and minimizing damage.

Our technicians understand the complexities of water removal and can handle contaminated water safely. We know how to properly dispose of contaminated water, what safety equipment is required, and how to prevent cross-contamination during the removal process.

Professional water removal also includes proper documentation for insurance purposes. We photograph the damage, document the water removal process, and provide detailed reports that support your insurance claim and help ensure proper coverage for your losses.
