Water extraction is the process of removing water from a property that has been affected by flooding or water damage. This can be done using a variety of methods, including:
– **Pumping:** Water is pumped out of the property using a submersible pump.
– **Extraction:** Water is removed by a wet/dry vacuum.
– **Evaporation:** Water is evaporated using a dehumidifier.
Water extraction is a critical step in the restoration process, as it helps to prevent further damage to the property and its contents. It is important to note that water extraction should only be performed by a qualified professional, as there are potential risks involved.
## What is Water Based Extraction?
Water-based extraction is a method of extracting water from a property using heated water and a detergent solution. This method is often used to remove water from carpets, furniture, and other absorbent materials.
The process of water-based extraction typically involves the following steps:
1. The affected area is pre-treated with a cleaning solution.
2. A hot water and detergent solution is applied to the area using a specialized tool.
3. The solution is agitated using a brush or vacuum.
4. The water and dirt are extracted using a wet/dry vacuum.
Water-based extraction is a safe and effective method of extracting water from a property. However, it is important to note that this method should only be used on materials that can withstand heat and moisture.
