Water Extraction Services
Fast & Reliable Restoration
Let Mr Leak’s 24/7 team drain water from your flooded property, remove disease-causing contaminants, and bring your home back to its former glory.
What Are Water Extraction Services?
Water extraction services involve tasks that methodically remove unwanted moisture or water from a property to make it safe for those living there. Excess water is often caused by flooding and burst pipes. Any delays in removing excess moisture from homes can lead to the weakening of timber or brickwork, making structures unsafe. The growth of disease-causing mould is another consequence of delayed water extraction.
Why Seek Professional Help When Extracting Water?
Water and other forms of moisture are tricky little beasts that can spread to other hard-to-reach areas of your property. Attempting to remove water on your own might lead to the inadvertent spread of moisture to other parts of the building, which may lead to the unseen weakening of your property’s structural supports. Aside from that, mould may start growing in otherwise unaffected surfaces.
Water extraction professionals like Mr Leak know the fastest and most effective way of ensuring water, leftover moisture, and contaminants are eliminated for good, making homes safe to live in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does water extraction do?
To reduce damage from water and restrict the growth of disease-causing organisms like mould, water extraction removes surplus water or moisture from structural elements, furniture, and any personal possessions inside the property. To make sure residences, companies, and items inside of them become fully functional again, some firms offer water extraction solutions along with water damage services.
Why is water extraction important?
Excess water can damage support beams and frames, making affected homes unsafe. Stagnant water is also a breeding ground for mould and other harmful organisms. Ultimately, extracting water improves structural safety and health.
You might think you can do water extraction by yourself, but there are risks. For instance, live wires combined with flood water can be deadly. It’s usually smarter to call in professionals to take care of water issues quickly and safely.
How long does water extraction take?
The time it takes to finish water extraction depends on the severity of the flood and the size of the property. At Mr Leak, we can extract up to 0.3 metres (30 cm) of standing water from a 100-square-metre property in about 2 to 3 hours, using Bosch high-performance pumps and industrial vacuums.
After removing the bulk of the water, drying is the next essential step. For an average-sized home of around 100 square metres, the structural drying process typically takes 24 to 72 hours, depending on humidity levels, materials affected, and ventilation. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to speed things up and ensure thorough drying before restoration begins.
Can you extract water from hard-to-reach areas?
Our experts have the proper training and the right gear to remove water even in tight and inaccessible spaces. And they can do so without changing your property’s structure too much.
What equipment do you use to extract water?
We use high-performance Bosch submersible pumps to quickly remove large volumes of water. Each pump can drain up to 10,000 litres in around 60 minutes, depending on water depth and access.
On average, a Bosch pump can run continuously for up to 4 hours without overheating, making it ideal for rapid response in flooded homes or commercial spaces. We pair this with moisture sensors and thermal imaging to make sure nothing is left behind.
