We know what your flood-damaged Morris Plains home needs.

Did you know that there are more than 40 different varieties of hammers getting used throughout construction trades and various crafts in Morris Plains and beyond? Much like having the right hammer for the job, water restoration requires the same premise. Flooding often requires extraction efforts, and with multiple choices available to our team, we must choose the right tools to maximize efficiency and production.

While we may not have 40 or more extraction units in our inventory, our SERVPRO professionals must carefully choose among more than a dozen options for flood removal in Morris Plains homes. This decision is a culmination of several factors, and the right choice ensures that areas of affected homes can get protected from migrating flood damage. While there are multiple units that we can deploy, we have a few that see more action than the rest.

Portable 

Portable extractors are among the most versatile removal equipment available to our SERVPRO team. From the confined spaces of structural cavities to the open areas where standing water can quickly erode exposed materials like drywall, these units can help. Wet-vacs and sump pumps both run on electricity, meaning that they require a generator to run if the power to the property has gotten severed.

Stationary

Stationary units like trash pumps run on gasoline and provide a much higher volume of extraction for properties. The drawback to these units beyond the need to maneuver the machine into place is the need to prime suction manually. In challenging extraction areas, priming the lines multiple times can be a time-consuming and inefficient approach.

Shaft-Driven 

The most powerful extraction device used by our technicians is the truck-mounted pump in our Green Fleet. This impressive machine can pull outstanding water at 300 psi, making short work of even substantial standing water. Depending on the situation, this unit could be unnecessarily powerful.

Choosing a suitable extractor can make recovery tasks more efficient and productive. Our SERVPRO of East Central Morris County might have many units to choose from, but we have become experienced in knowing which machines can meet your home’s needs and save you time and money.
