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. 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. Some vinyl plank must be lifted to reach water beneath it.
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
After extraction, readings show how much water remains in walls, subfloor, and baseboards. Drying equipment is set where it's needed.

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?
Usually. Extraction gets most of the water, but walls, subfloor, and baseboards still hold moisture. Dehumidifiers and air movers finish the job over the next few days.
