Removing Floodwater from Naples Crawlspaces with Electric Pumps

Pumps create a fast and continuous removal of standing water in Naples homes, but choosing the right unit is not always straightforward. In most cases, our SERVPRO professionals can benefit from the use of electric submersible pumps. Other options are ideal when there are more considerable distances to push water out, several feet of standing water, or where solids might be present in the water getting extracted.

Any of these possibilities could exist with flood damage in Naples homes. High-pressure pump options can help when lower levels like parking garages must get pumped out. However, for a household, portable electric pumps present the capabilities of removing 3000 gallons of floodwater over an hour on average. For higher horsepower units, these 50 gallons per minute could increase. Because of the need to get as much of the water up as we can from the time we are first alerted to a disaster, we can position multiple extractors where necessary. ‘

Electric pumps are ideal for limited power supplies or where electric service has gotten severed following widespread community flooding. Not only can these units operate continuously at a manageable power consumption, but they also require limited use of portable or trailered generators. This solution can be more beneficial than operating gas-powered trash pumps inside the residence, where exhaust becomes an additional obstacle to overcome.

Our SERVPRO professionals also utilize electric pumps for the longer discharge hose and steady primed draw of water that they provide to flood damaged residences. We can use the lead hose to reach bathtubs, sinks, floor drains, and even the sewer system cleanout. Once the water levels get below a 2-inch depth, we can shift to the use of wet vacuums with carpet wands.
