Condo Water Extraction FAQs
What equipment is used for condo water damage cleanup?
Portable extractors, pumps, air movers, dehumidifiers, moisture meters and thermal cameras sized for condo units.
How quickly should I call for emergency water removal in a condo?
As soon as you find the water. It can reach the unit below within hours, and wet materials get harder to save.
Why is containment used during condo water extraction?
Plastic sheeting keeps dust and moisture in the work area and out of clean rooms and shared hallways.
Can a slow leak cause major damage in a condo?
Yes. Slow leaks can soak subfloors and ceilings below for weeks before anyone sees a sign.
How does water mitigation prevent further damage?
Stopping the water, extracting it and drying quickly keeps it from spreading into more materials and units.
