What gets handled

Water Extraction Methods for Every Surface

Carpet, hardwood, tile, and concrete each hold water differently, so the pro picks tools based on what is wet and what kind of water it is.

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

Weighted tools press down on the carpet and draw water out of the pad underneath, which can save the carpet.

H

Hardwood Floor Extraction Mats

Suction mats placed on hardwood pull water up through board seams, which can prevent cupping and save the floor.

S

Category-Based Removal

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

Before-and-After Moisture Readings

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.

FAQ

Water Extraction Questions Answered

A wet vac skims surface water. Professional extractors have much stronger suction, and weighted tools press water out of the pad and subfloor, which shortens drying and reduces mold risk.

Often, if the water was clean and extraction happens quickly. The pad is usually replaced. Carpet soaked by sewage or floodwater should be discarded.

Category 1 is clean, Category 2 is gray water with some contamination, and Category 3 is sewage or floodwater that needs full protective handling.

Extraction for a few rooms usually takes one to three hours. Drying afterward takes several days.

Suction mats can draw water from hardwood. Solid wood has the best odds of recovery.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who perform and bill for the work.
