Why is SERVPRO so Efficient in Flood Water Removal in Burlington Homes? 

Flood water removal from your Burlington home is the primary focus of SERVPRO techs during the flood restoration process. The extent and severity of the damage are directly affected by how quickly the restorers can remove the floodwater from your property.  

SERVPRO techs use several pieces of equipment to speed up the flood water removal from your Burlington home. Pumps are some of the most efficient tools to remove standing water from properties after a flooding incident. SERVPRO techs use centrifugal pumps that convert the rotational energy to move floodwater out of the property. The three most commonly used pumps include:

• Self-priming trash pumps
• High-pressure pumps
• Submersible pumps

When do SERVPRO Techs use Submersible Pumps During Flood Restoration in Burlington? 

Submersible pumps are the most common pump used in water restoration in Burlington homes. The submersible pumps offer several advantages over other types of pumps, including:

• Eliminate the suction lift limitation
• Provide a continuous operation 
• Don’t make a lot of noise 
• Operate on electricity 

Some of the portable submersible pumps that SERVPRO techs use can move up to 18,000 gallons of water per hour and provide almost 70 feet of discharge head. As these pumps operate on electricity, they are ideal for occupied spaces. 

Limitations of Submersible Pumps

While submersible pumps offer many advantages, they are not immune to drawbacks. One of the biggest limitations of a submersible pump is that it can’t be used if there is a lot of suspended solid material in the accumulated water.
