### Topic: Water Extraction and Its Impacts
Water extraction services play a crucial role in mitigating the adverse effects of water damage. When water seeps into structures, it can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and compromised air quality.
### Subtopic: What are the three main ways water can be extracted?
Several effective methods are employed to extract water from affected areas:
1. **Pump Extraction:** Using pumps, water is suctioned from flooded areas into collection tanks or containers.
2. **Vacuum Extraction:** Specialized vacuum equipment extracts water from carpets, flooring, and other surfaces by creating a vacuum that draws water towards the machine.
3. **Dry Extraction:** This method utilizes absorbent materials that soak up water, such as towels or specialized chemical compounds. It is particularly suitable for areas where conventional extraction methods may damage sensitive surfaces.
