Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction

Water removal and extraction is of the utmost importance in Midtown Manhattan. You don't' want water to sit on or in anything longer than absolutely necessary. Otherwise, you run the risk of mold, mildew, and a long list of other problems. 

It's not uncommon for pipes to break in Midtown, leaving you with excessive amounts of water. Once the water has been removed from the area, you can then focus on extracting the water from various materials. It can help to salvage what you have. 

Our professionals at SERVPRO of Midtown Manhattan will assist you with water removal/extraction in a timely, efficient manner. Whether the water damage has affected a residential or commercial property, we're here to make a difference.
