Extraction Work Through Our Network
Here's how extraction is handled by surface.
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. Fast action can limit cupping and crowning.
Tile, Vinyl & Concrete Extraction
Water is pulled from tile, LVP, and slab surfaces, including grout and seams. Some vinyl plank must be lifted to reach water beneath it.
Truck-Mount vs. Portable Units
Truck-mounted units deliver the strongest suction and are ideal for large areas close to the driveway. Portable extractors handle upper floors, condos, and long hose runs.
Post-Extraction Moisture Check
After extraction, readings show how much water remains in walls, subfloor, and baseboards. Air movers and dehumidifiers go in where readings call for them.

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.
