The truth is, very few companies, even professional restoration companies, invest in the training and equipment to remove massive amounts of water from your flood damaged property. That’s pretty important because the more water you can physically remove from your home, basement, crawlspace, etc., the faster your structure will dry and the less water damage you’ll sustain.

The majority of the water in a flooded basement is in the carpet and pad. For example, a flooded basement with 1,200 square feet of carpet and pad has approximately 748 gallons of water trapped in it.

Using a $50,000 truck mounted carpet cleaning extractor and van, you can remove as much as 563 gallons of water with a 2” vacuum hose and carpet cleaning wand. Great results, right? Wrong! Wrong because you’re leaving behind 185 gallons of water in the carpet and pad! Any idea how long it takes to evaporate 185 gallons of water? Answer: You don’t want to know.

Our specialized flood extractors have the ability to remove 724 of those 748 gallons, leaving behind only 24 gallons of water in the carpet. How long with it take to evaporate that remaining 24 gallons of water? Only two to three days. That’s why the initial water removal is so critical. You simply cannot evaporate 185 gallons fast enough to prevent odor and mold growth.

BASICS OF WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION
In the world of water damage restoration, the goal of the entire process is to return everything to “normal moisture content”. In doing so, you accomplish two important objectives: 1) stabilizing the structural materials and 2) impeding microbial growth. Materials must be completely dried out before repairs can begin. Time is your enemy because the excess water can continue to cause damage to wet materials.

Water damage restoration is a methodical process. Water detection and mapping is crucial because not all water damage is visible. Inexperienced homeowners and even contractors may not always know where to look for hidden problems. It really is best to trust this to a professional. DryHero provides this service for free in Lincoln and Omaha.


Water damaged hardwood flooring can be indentified by cupping, warping, discoloration and flaking of the surface. Water damaged wood floors are one of the most difficult materials we dry. Besides being dense and coated with vapor barriers, they can also reach a “point of no return” if the water damage is not promptly addressed. In the water damage restoration industry, damaged wood flooring is one of the most challenging materials to dry. DryHero has the experience, training and moisture testing instrumentation to inspect, evaluate and recommend the best restoration options for your wood flooring system.
