Extraction Work Through Our Network
Different floors need different extraction methods.
Carpet & Pad Extraction
Stand-on extraction tools squeeze water from both carpet and pad. Done right, carpet can often be dried in place after clean-water losses.
Hardwood Floor Extraction
Floor drying systems use suction mats to draw water out of hardwood. Quick extraction reduces cupping and buckling.
Tile, Vinyl & Concrete Extraction
Squeegees and wands clear water from tile, vinyl, and concrete, including grout lines and seams. Water trapped under vinyl plank may need boards lifted.
Truck-Mount vs. Portable Units
Truck-mounts provide maximum power for big jobs with good access. Portable units reach high-rise units and upstairs rooms.
Post-Extraction Moisture Check
Moisture meters confirm what's still wet once extraction is done. Air movers and dehumidifiers go in where readings call for them.

These callers all had water soaking into floors at the worst possible time.
The upstairs washer flooded the hall carpet around midnight. With a stand-on extractor they saved the carpet and replaced just the pad.
— Erin S., Lake Mack-Forest HillsA dishwasher leak soaked our brand-new hardwood. They put down suction drying mats within the hour, and the boards flattened back out.
— Paul D., Lake Mack-Forest HillsWe live on the fourth floor, so I didn't think a truck-mount would work. Portable extractors handled it without a problem.

How quickly should water be extracted?
As fast as possible, ideally within the first hour or two. Water keeps wicking into pad, tack strip, baseboards, and drywall, and the longer it sits the more materials need removal.
Can wet carpet be saved?
Often, if the water was clean and it's extracted quickly with weighted tools. The pad is more likely to need replacement. Carpet soaked by sewage or floodwater is generally discarded.
What is the difference between extraction and drying?
Extraction mechanically removes liquid water from materials. Drying uses air movers and dehumidifiers to evaporate and capture the moisture that's left. Good extraction shortens drying time significantly.
Can hardwood floors be saved after water damage?
Frequently, if extraction and drying start fast. Floor drying systems draw water out through the boards, and minor cupping often flattens once the wood dries. Severe or long-term soaking may require replacement.
Will I need dehumidifiers after extraction?
In most cases, yes. Remaining moisture in walls and subfloor needs a few days of controlled drying.
