Why Altamont Calls Us for Emergency Water Extraction
Extraction is the single most effective step in limiting water damage. Every gallon pulled out mechanically is a gallon the dehumidifiers don't have to remove from the air.

What Emergency Water Extraction Covers
Different floors need different extraction methods.
Carpet & Pad Extraction
Weighted stand-on extractors compress carpet and pad to force out trapped water. With clean water, thorough extraction often saves the carpet.
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
Water is pulled from tile, LVP, and slab surfaces, including grout and seams. Water trapped under vinyl plank may need boards lifted.
Truck-Mount vs. Portable Units
Truck-mounted units deliver the strongest suction and are ideal for large areas close to the driveway. Portable units reach high-rise units and upstairs rooms.
Post-Extraction Moisture Check
After extraction, readings show how much water remains in walls, subfloor, and baseboards. Drying equipment is set where it's needed.

Extraction Stories From Altamont
Each of these started with wet floors and a late-night call.
Our upstairs washer overflowed at midnight and soaked the hallway carpet. With a stand-on extractor they saved the carpet and replaced just the pad.
— Erin S., AltamontOur new oak floors were wet from a dishwasher leak. Drying mats went down quickly and the boards settled back flat.
— Paul D., AltamontWe live on the fourth floor, so I didn't think a truck-mount would work. They brought portable units and had everything extracted fast.

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?
Clean-water carpet usually can be saved with fast, thorough extraction. Pad is often replaced, and contaminated carpet is not salvageable.
What is the difference between extraction and drying?
Extraction pulls out the water you can remove physically; drying removes the moisture still trapped in materials afterward.
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.
