How Water Extraction Is Done on Different Floors

The method depends on the floor and the water. Clean water in carpet calls for different tools than gray water on hardwood.

T

Truck-Mount Extraction

Large losses get a truck-mount, which pulls more water per pass and keeps the noisy machine outside.

W

Weighted Carpet and Pad Extraction

Ride-on or stand-on weighted extraction tools compress the carpet and pad, forcing out water a wand alone cannot reach. This often lets the carpet stay in place.

H

Saving Wet Hardwood

Specialized floor mats connected to high-pressure vacuum draw moisture up through the boards and the gaps between them, giving solid hardwood a real chance at survival.

S

When Pad Has to Go

Clean Category 1 water often allows the carpet to be saved with new pad. Category 2 water usually means pad removal. Category 3 water means carpet and pad both come out.

M

Verified Extraction

The pro takes moisture meter readings before and after extraction so you can see the difference and the drying phase starts from a documented baseline.

Rapid dispatch process
