Water Extraction Tools That Get the Job Done

Flood removal services in Hicksville depend on the depth of the water and the contaminants and solids within. We have a variety of pumps that perform specific jobs. Our professional water removal equipment includes:

• Self-Priming Trash Pumps – Perfect for floodwater with debris. It does have limited lift capacity but is used often for storm flooding.

• High-Pressure Pumps – When high-lift is called for, these are the pumps we pull into action. They do not get used for debris-filled water.

• Submersible Pumps – These pumps get used more often than any of the others. They are excellent for use in homes.

•    Moisture Meters & Probes – Detects hidden moisture and pinpoints the location of water.

Disinfecting & Sanitizing

Sanitizing is one of the main aspects of water removal services. The contaminants in floodwater are a biohazard. Everything it touches needs to be cleaned and disinfected. We use proprietary sanitizing agents to clean your home. We repeat this process throughout the cleaning and restoration process.

Salvage Whenever Possible

SERVPRO’s goal is to salvage everything possible. It is often more cost-effective than replacement, but some things cannot get salvaged after a flood—things like carpeting, upholstery, and permeable material such as gypsum.
