Not all water extraction processes are the same, and selecting an experienced provider like Arizona Restoration Contractors is one of the best decisions you can make to save time, reduce costs, and minimize damage. Our team is WRT, FSRT, and AMRT certified, ensuring that you receive professional and reliable service. Here’s a detailed look at our water extraction process:

1. Identification of Water Source and Type:  We determine the source of the water and its category (clean water, greywater, or blackwater). This step helps us establish safety measures and ensure appropriate handling while also locating and stopping the flow of water to minimize further damage.  
2. Safety and Protection Measures:  Comprehensive safety measures are applied, including the use of protective gear and the assessment of electrical risks, ensuring a secure environment before starting the extraction process.  
3. Water Removal:  Our team employs advanced equipment like pumps and vacuums to extract as much standing water as possible, ensuring a rapid response to prevent further property damage.  
4. Moisture and Humidity Control:  We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to remove residual moisture and control humidity levels. This critical step prevents mold and secondary water damage.  
5. Cleaning and Sanitizing: After drying, we sanitize all affected surfaces with antimicrobial treatments to eliminate bacteria and reduce the risk of mold growth.  
6. Damage Assessment: We evaluate the extent of the damage, test for hidden moisture, and provide recommendations for further restoration as needed.  

It’s essential to understand that water extraction and water mitigation are different, though interconnected, services.  

• Water Extraction  refers specifically to the removal of standing water, which is the critical first step in resolving a water damage situation.  
• Water Mitigation  encompasses a broader range of services aimed at preventing further damage, such as drying, structural repairs, mold testing , and humidity control.  

While water extraction addresses the immediate problem, mitigation ensures the long-term safety and restoration of your property.  

Time is the most critical factor in water damage restoration. Delaying water extraction can lead to severe consequences, including structural damage, mold growth, health risks, and increased restoration costs.
