SERVPRO's Truck-Mount Flood Extractor in San Antonio Homes

While much of the greater San Antonio area combat bouts of drought annually, these same instances can be responsible for substantial flood losses when torrential downpours happen after long periods without rain. Flash flooding can occur before ground saturation has an opportunity to occur, threatening all homes and businesses in the path of the flowing water. In some situations, homes can contend with several inches of standing water on the main floor of the house.

With many properties in the outer-lying metropolis constructed as single-story ranch houses, flood damage to San Antonio residences can encompass the entire household. Addressing these threats as quickly as possible is the priority of our SERVPRO flood recovery team, as the less saturation and exposure that occurs, the less tear-out and reconstruction that your property ultimately needs. While we have an in-house division of licensed contractors to address structural concerns, our objective is to restore versus replace.

While we have dozens of extraction tools and devices that we use to address standing water in various scenarios and severities, the worst potential flood loss situations demand the use of our truck-mount pump tanker truck. This high-capacity unit can forcefully remove standing water down to a two-inch depth, where our SERVPRO team would traditionally begin using wet-vacs and light wands to collect the rest of the remaining water in the damaged region.

Because this extractor is part of our Green Fleet of service vehicles, it can roll out with our team of certified Water Restoration (WRT) and Structural Drying (ASD) specialists. We can place it near available entry points to ensure that the hoses can reach wherever the problem areas are in the single-story flooded residence.  

As challenging as flood loss can seem, you have a team of qualified professionals to help with mitigation, reconstruction, restoration, and cleaning to make these losses “Like it never even happened.” The fast solutions for water removal during a flood hinge on the powerful and effective truck-mount options.
