About Los Angeles Water Extraction Team

Los Angeles Water Extraction Team centers on one task: lifting water out of LA County homes and drying whatever it soaked before trouble spreads. Slab pinholes, split heater tanks, washer hoses, toilet spills, sewer backups and winter storm runoff share one opening act: water that keeps traveling until somebody vacuums it.

Extraction crews open with truck-mount or portable wands, pulling puddles from carpet, tile, oak and bare concrete. Next, the walkthrough tech sweeps rooms with an infrared camera plus pinless meters, finds dampness hiding in walls, cabinets and slab, and marks it on a wet map.

Drying technicians pick a tally of air movers and refrigerant dehumidifiers per room from its evaporation rate, and jot readings every morning. The IICRC S500 sets the yardstick, and machines stay until soaked materials score like an untouched spot elsewhere under that roof.

Sewage and outdoor floodwater rank Category 3 from minute one: suits and respirators, plastic containment, removal of porous finishes it soaked and an EPA-registered antimicrobial, all before a fan spins. Tap water reached early usually dries without demolition.

All along, mitigation techs keep dated photos, meter logs and a scope listing each item, so homeowners hold solid paperwork for their insurance claim. Phone (888) 563-9619, 24/7, anywhere countywide.
