Our Emergency Water Extraction Process: Step-by-Step for Utah Homeowners
Whether it’s a burst pipe, a flooded basement, or an overflowing appliance — standing water in your home is an emergency. At Pure Flow Water Damage & Restoration, we provide 24/7 emergency water extraction services across Riverton, Herriman, Bluffdale, and nearby areas.
Here’s exactly what to expect when you call us for emergency water removal in Utah.
🚨 Step 1: Immediate Response & Dispatch
As soon as you call, we dispatch a certified technician to your location. We arrive within 60 minutes in most local areas. Our trucks are fully equipped with industrial vacuums, drying systems, and moisture detection tools.
🔍 Step 2: Inspection & Moisture Assessment
We begin by identifying the source of the water (clean, gray, or black) and use thermal imaging to assess the full extent of the damage. This includes checking behind walls, under flooring, and inside cabinets for hidden water pockets.

💧 Step 3: Water Extraction
We use high-powered pumps and truck-mounted vacuums to remove all standing water from floors, carpets, and hard surfaces. This step prevents mold growth and further structural damage.
- ✅ Remove water from all affected rooms
- ✅ Extract water from under carpets or hardwood
- ✅ Contain water from crawl spaces or basements
💨 Step 4: Structural Drying
After extraction, we install industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to dry affected materials — including drywall, baseboards, framing, and flooring.
This step continues for 3–5 days, with daily monitoring to ensure complete moisture removal.
🧼 Step 5: Cleaning & Sanitizing
If water was contaminated (sewage, flood water, etc.), we thoroughly clean and disinfect the area using EPA-approved antimicrobial agents. We remove damaged materials as needed to protect your indoor air quality.
🧾 Step 6: Insurance Documentation
We provide full photo documentation, moisture readings, and drying logs to support your insurance claim. We’ll even work directly with your adjuster to ensure fast, accurate processing.
