Accelerating the Drying Process with AdvantaClean of The Eastside

Whether your Shoreline home has experienced a burst pipe or a leaky appliance, fast-acting water mitigation is highly recommended for preventing further damages that can potentially lead to costly repairs otherwise. One of the critical components of water remediation is extraction, which refers to removing excess water from the affected areas before setting up air movement and dehumidification units. Whether standing water requires removal with wet vacuums or wands are needed to dry saturated carpet, AdvantaClean of The Eastside has the tools and expertise necessary for performing thorough cleanup.

The Science Behind Water Extraction Tools

Water extraction, as performed by restoration professionals, aims to remove as much moisture as possible before the drying phase begins. Our extraction wands use suction to lift water from floors, carpets, and other surfaces. By making multiple passes over an area, these wands can remove the bulk of water present on a surface, leaving only residual moisture for drying equipment like dehumidifiers to handle. As a result, extraction drastically reduces drying time and limits further damage, which minimizes secondary issues such as structural weakening and excessive drying times. Extraction wands' efficiency makes them invaluable in the initial stages of water damage cleanup.

Extracting Water from Carpeting and Upholstery Fibers

Porous materials, such as carpets and upholstery, present unique challenges during water mitigation because they trap water deep within their fibers, making extraction more difficult. Fortunately, modern extraction equipment is designed to handle these complications. Regarding carpets, extraction wands apply focused suction that pulls water from the surface and the padding underneath. Upholstery, being more delicate, requires a lighter touch but follows the same principle of removing water as efficiently as possible to speed up drying and minimize damage. Multiple passes of extraction are essential for materials like these, as lingering moisture can weaken fabric integrity and cause permanent damage otherwise.

AdvantaClean of The Eastside's Water Restoration Process

Our water restoration process follows industry best practices to ensure your home is restored quickly and safely. After initial water extraction, we focus on several critical steps to complete the water restoration process. Air movers and dehumidifiers are used to eliminate remaining moisture, and cleaning affected areas with tailored antimicrobials prevents bacterial growth. Deodorization techniques like ultra-low volume (ULV) fogging remove any lingering smells caused by the water damage.
