Why Are Wet Vacuums a Preferred Water Removal Tool in Great Falls Homes?

With their Versatility and Portability, Wet Vacuums can Quickly Manage Water Damage in Great Falls Properties
Emergency services often have the greatest impact on the overall restoration process, as this is set to overcome pressing concerns in a damaged home. Standing water can require several tools and approaches to remove. While we lean heavily on the versatility of wet vacuums, our SERVPRO team can also choose:
- Truck-mount pumps
- Submersible units
- Traditional toweling/mopping
Shallow Damage and Inaccessible Areas
Wet vacuums are among the most heavily used for water removal in Great Falls homes because many water pooling situations do not exceed several inches. Furthermore, the portability of these units and their typical lighter weight makes them ideal for less accessible areas when combined with attachments like light wands.
Deep Extraction of Carpets
Carpets can be a common flooring element of homes and businesses throughout our service area, so having a portable unit strong enough to run a carpet wand is efficient for restoration. This extraction effort can protect the upper layer of carpeted floors, padding, and subflooring from permanent damage by pulling trapped moisture.
Low Demands on Portable Power
Another one of the advantages of choosing a wet vacuum for much of the extraction needs is the low-draw demands of the unit. Flood and water damage can leave the property without an adequate power supply, so our SERVPRO team uses generators and spider boxes to have the needed outlets and electricity to power the recovery tools.
Extraction is a vital element of mitigating water damages in your home. With tools like wet vacuums, this process can be more efficient and cost-effective. Our SERVPRO of Helena & Great Falls team can help with post-water damage recovery 24/7 at (406) 458-6008.
