Understanding the Water Extraction, Water Removal and Water Drying & Dryout Process is Important When Contracting Water Damage Repair Services
Many water extraction, removal and dryout companies take shortcuts when performing their services, it’s critical you understand what you need, and it’s essential that you find a water damage restoration company with a strong reputation that ensures you get it! When a water damage incident occurs you need to utilize both extraction and removal technology as well as drying and dehumidification technology. Much of the damage that is inflicted will be hidden, behind walls, under cabinets, and even in insulation, making sure the process addresses what you can’t see as much as what you can is absolutely critical!
“The two gentlemen who came to work on our attic were very thorough, but what surprised us was how polite and professional they were. Sadly, these are not traits we often encounter with home services professionals. They even vacuumed after they were done”
Water Removal and Extraction
Removing the standing water after any event is our first priority. Standing water penetrates every nook and cranny, yes just like the butter on a Thomas’s English Muffin, and complicates the dryout and dehumidification process. Additionally the longer standing water is present, the greater the chance additional building materials will need to be replaced. Timing is of the essence here. Our state of the art equipment ensures we remove and extract as much water and moisture as we can leading up to the drying and dehumidification phase, in many cases we can extract up to 90 percent of the water during this phase
Water Drying and The Dryout Process
Ensuring all of the moisture has been removed requires the use of air movers and handlers as well as industrial dehumidifiers. This step is critical because this is where any potential future mold, mildew and health issues are mitigated. Our advanced equipment will remove moisture from the places you can’t see, and where if mold grows, you can’t see it either. When it comes to this step we take no chances, we run this equipment for as long as it takes to ensure all of the moisture has been removed.
Final Inspection of the Water Removal, Extraction, and Drying Process
Once all of the water and moisture has been removed and all of the final drying and dehumidification steps have been painstakingly handled, we do a thorough inspection that includes not only a visual inspection, but also advanced testing with moisture meters and thermal imaging technology.

Removal of Building Materials and the Restoration Process
Obviously the goal is to save as much of the constructive property and contents as possible, but in some cases, especially those where hours, if not days of exposure to standing water have occurred, the necessity to do so is warranted. From saturated sheetrock, to drenched carpets and pads that have already started to breed bacterial growth, decisions need to be made to the viability of saving the materials vs. tearing out and replacing. The professionals at Peniel pride themselves on recommendations of process when it comes to save vs. replace decisions. Peniel can also aid in the insurance process so that you can rest easy knowing that when things have been cleaned or removed, you get full reimbursement (Peniel usually bills insurance direct for you to limit out of pocket expenses). Documentation is key, and the Peniel process documents each and every step as to cleanup, demolition, contents manipulation, cleaning and or removal and disposal of contents and constructive debris so that your insurance company has what they need to cover all, and any incurred expense. Don’t underestimate the value of this process; insurers are always trying to mitigate their cost exposure, and proper and thorough documentation ensures you don’t get left holding the bag with regards to unreimbursed costs!
“I was concerned because past experiences with mitigation firms have shown a propensity to go way beyond what is necessary to address the immediate issue. Peter H met and outlined your approach... Met with Brandon who seemed to have an excellent balance between the mitigation needs of the problem balanced with common sense approach, which impressed me the most. I am very satisfied with Peniel!”

“I was concerned about the job not being done in time so it would hold up my demo/rebuild schedule. I was recommended to use Peniel by several people.

Unlike a lot of New England companies, y'all understand customer service and how it is supposed to work....I hope I don't need your services again, but if I do I'll definitely call Peniel.”
