Water Extraction Services by Material

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

Stand-On Pad Extraction

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

H

Hardwood Water Removal

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

S

Subfloor and Pad Removal Decisions

Water category decides what stays. Clean water may only cost you the pad, while sewage or floodwater means the carpet goes too.

M

Before-and-After Moisture Readings

Readings before and after show how much water was removed and set the starting point for drying.

What People Ask About Water Extraction

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.

Clean water and fast extraction give carpet a good chance. Contaminated water means it should go.

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.

Yes. Specialized suction mat systems pull water up through the boards. Solid hardwood often recovers, while engineered and laminate floors are harder to save.
