Water Extraction tools

Extraction tools

Water extraction.

All extraction tools rely upon the principle of airflow through the affected carpet and underlay in order to remove water. for example: High negative pressures are created by the vacuum equipment, whether portable or truck mounted. Hoses usually 2" in diameter are then used to connect the vacuum equipment to an extraction tool. Airflow through the tool and hose removes water from the material and carries it to the water tank.

Class 4 Water Loss-flood

Class 4 Water Loss

Specialty drying situations.

These consist of wet materials with a very low permanence/porosity (e.g., hardwood, plaster, brick, concrete, light weight concrete and stone).  Typically. there are deep pockets of saturation, which require very low specific humidity to remove.

This class of water includes situations where moisture is trapped deep in dense materials like hardwood floors, sub-flooring, and plaster walls.  This "bound water" is difficult to remove and will require the use of special drying tools and techniques. Additional drying time may be required to maintain a balanced environment so as not to cause damage to other materials in the loss through moisture removal.  Call ServiceMaster of Salt Lake  801-506-0027

Class 3 Water Loss

Class 3 water loss

Greatest amount of water, absorption and evaporation.

Water may have come from overhead. Ceilings, insulation, carpet, cushion and sub-floor in virtually the entire area are saturated.

This class includes the largest amount of water remaining after extraction and demolition is completed. This will involve entire room(s) and their materials. Porous and non-porous materials may be included. large volumes of moisture have been adsorbed and need to be evacuated quickly to prevent secondary or long term damages. This evacuation may require the use of heat, large volume dehmidification, air movers and specialty tools and techniques.   Remember....always call  ServiceMaster of Salt Lake  801-506-0027

Class 2 water loss

Class 2 water loss

Large amount of water, absorption, and evaporation.

Water losses that affect the majority of a room of carpet and cushion (pad).  Water has wicked up walls less than 24 inches.  There is moisture in structural materials.

This class includes more water remaining after extraction than class 1 and includes some moisture wicking up the walls. Since porous materials are affected and absorption happens rapidly, the volume of moisture that will be dealt with must be considered.  These items will also release their moisture rapidly, therefore more dehumidification is required to prevent secondary damages.

Classification of Water. Class 1

The Classification of water- related to the relative degree of saturation. This class is used to calculate the initial amount of equipment needed in the drying process.

Least amount of water, absorption, and evaporation. Water losses that affect only part of a room or area , or larger  areas containing materials that have absorbed minimal moisture. Little or no wet carpet and/or cushion is present. These may also include small losses where the carpet and cushion has been removed and only the sub-floor is being dried.

This class may include more than one room or drying chamber, but is typically a small amount of water left after extraction and removal of wet materials. A number of rooms with each room having only a slight involvement in the loss may also be labeled as a class 1 loss.

Ozone treatment for odor

Ozone treatment

An ozone generator will not only remove pet odors but other troublesome odors caused by mold and mildew, fire, water damage and others. Ozone is considered "natures deodorant" and can get rid of many types of nasty smells

What does Ozone smell like..... think of after a rain & lightning storm..like pictured below.  That clean smelling fresh air that lingers.

When the odor problem is severe a professional will do what is known as a "shock treatment". A shock treatment will introduce a highly concentrated burst of ozone into a larger area. When a shock treatment is done people, pets, and even plants can not remain as the ozone in such high quantities can be a health hazard.  ServiceMASTER of Salt Lake  801-506-0027                    

In disaster restoration  services we will will use ozone treatment to remove odor for everything from clothes to furniture.  We even did our business neighbors truck..they had an employee who smoked int the truck, so you know it smelled like crap and you would not be able to breath the new drivers could not use it because the could not breathe . They brought the truck over...we hooked up an ozone machine for a 6 hour cycle and  WOW, you could not detect any odor.
