### Water Extraction and Its Impacts
Water extraction services play a crucial role in mitigating the damaging effects of water accumulation. It involves removing excessive water from various sources, such as flooded basements, burst pipes, and natural disasters.
Failure to address water extraction promptly can lead to significant damage, including:
* Structural weakening of buildings
* Growth of mold and mildew
* Electrical hazards
* Damage to personal belongings
### What are the Three Main Ways Water Can Be Extracted?
**1. Submersible Pumps:**
Submersible pumps are placed directly in the water and use impellers to pump out the excess liquid. They are highly effective for extracting large volumes of water quickly.
**2. Dry/Wet Vacuums:**
These vacuums incorporate a motorized fan to create suction and remove water. Dry/wet vacuums are suitable for smaller-scale water removal tasks, such as spills and damp areas.
**3. Water Wands and Pumps:**
Water wands are attached to water extraction pumps and use a specialized head to direct a high-pressure stream of water into the affected area. The water loosens and helps remove debris, while the pump removes the water.
