Wet Vacuums Are a Versatile Tool for Water Removal in Newark Homes

Several extraction devices are in our inventory, but few have the versatility and frequency of use as wet vacuums do. Because water removal and restoration are among the top call-outs for our professionals, wet vacuums stay stocked on our production vehicles to help homes after disasters. 

Confined or Small Spaces

Among the first considerations why wet vacuums should complete water removal in Newark homes and businesses is limited space or accessibility. Confined areas make a recovery more complicated, so smaller extraction and drying units are ideal for helping in these situations. Wet vacuums can be a lightweight and mobile solution to get into challenging areas of a residence.

Long Distance Equipment Hauling

Another consideration that might help people choose wet vacuums over other extraction units is the distance that equipment must travel to reach the water damaged area. High-rise structures, for example, make moving heavier trash pumps more challenging and inefficient with their gas-powered operation.

Special Attachments and Features

Yet another consideration for choosing wet vacuums against other available extraction units in our inventory are the attachments and extensions possible with wet vacs. Without compromising power, these electric units supply steady suction, even with additional attachments installed and functional, such as:

• Weighted Extractors
• Carpet Wands
• Light Wands

Shallow Water Damage

One of the most precise indicators for using a wet vacuum over other available extraction units is the depth of the standing water. If pooling does not exceed two inches, submersible pumps will have difficulty retaining their prime and will inefficiently remove floodwater or standing potable water. Vacuums work well in shallow depths to quickly eliminate the puddling.

Several applications are ideal for wet vacuums. While we have multiple extraction devices in our inventory, specific conditions in which these more mobile and versatile vacuum units are better.
