24/7 Emergency Service
Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction
When heavy rains hit a frozen Central Maine hard last January, SERVPRO of Augusta/Waterville was ready to help. Our office received over 50 calls in 24 hours to help homeowners and businesses with events like flooded basements, water in living spaces, and roof leaks. We worked long into the night and began early the next day to ensure that we provided pump outs, extraction services, and drying equipment to those families and businesses that needed it. Our highly trained crews were prepared to mobilize for that event and you can rest assured that we'll be ready for the next event as well.
If your home or business is impacted by heavy rains, a flooded basement, or groundwater intrusion, know that SERVPRO of Augusta/Waterville is here to help. We have the trained staff, the experience, and the equipment to handle any type of disaster. We're a locally-owned company that wants to help our community.

Emergency Water Removal
Our highly trained technicians will begin the water removal process almost immediately. Depending on the amount of water, we may use powerful submersible pumps in addition to industrial strength, wet/dry vacuums. Removing most of the water helps reduce drying time and helps prevent secondary water damage and mold and bacterial growth.
