How Water Extraction Is Done on Different Floors

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

For large areas, a truck-mounted unit with strong vacuum lift pulls water through long hoses, removing far more per pass than any portable machine.

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

Hardwood Water Removal

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

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

M

Verified Extraction

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