What gets handled

Water Extraction Methods for Every Surface

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

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

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

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

Measuring What Came Out

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

How it works

Four Steps to Dry Floors

Call dispatch

Let dispatch know which rooms and floor types are wet, so the right extraction equipment gets sent.

Extractors on the way

The contractor calls back with an arrival time and may ask you to clear a path for hose lines.

Readings and a written estimate

Expect water classification, moisture mapping, and a quote you approve before extraction starts.

Floors cleared

With the water out, the pro sets air movers and dehumidifiers and schedules follow-up readings.

Floors soaked through?

The pad is holding more water than you think.

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