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-Mounted Water Removal

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

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

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.
