Clean Water Extraction (Category 1) FAQs for Rancho Palos Verdes Homeowners
Are air movers and dehumidifiers always necessary?
For anything beyond a small surface spill, yes. The pros dry the water that soaked into carpet, walls and subfloors.
Does a ceiling leak need special extraction methods?
Yes. The ceiling is drained through a small opening, wet insulation is removed and the cavity above is dried.
What causes Category 1 water to become contaminated?
Time and contact. Water sitting for days, or running across dirty floors, picks up contaminants and can become Category 2.
Can wet carpets be saved after clean water extraction?
Often yes. Clean water extracted quickly means the carpet can usually be dried and kept, though the pad may be replaced.
How quickly should standing water be removed?
Right away. Clean water soaks into materials within hours and can become contaminated if it sits for more than a day or two.
