Why Lockwood Calls Us for Emergency Water Extraction
No other step cuts drying time like thorough extraction. Water removed by extraction never has to evaporate, which saves days of drying.
Extraction Equipment That Pulls Hard
Contractors bring truck-mounted extraction units, portable extractors, weighted stand-on tools, and hardwood floor drying panels. Weighted tools press water out of carpet and pad far better than a wand alone.

Extraction Work Through Our Network
Different floors need different extraction methods.
Carpet & Pad Extraction
Weighted stand-on extractors compress carpet and pad to force out trapped water. 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
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-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.

When Every Minute Counted
These callers all had water soaking into floors at the worst possible time.
Our upstairs washer overflowed at midnight and soaked the hallway carpet. The contractor used a weighted extractor and saved the carpet; only the pad had to be replaced.
— Erin S., LockwoodA dishwasher leak soaked our brand-new hardwood. Drying mats went down quickly and the boards settled back flat.
— Paul D., LockwoodWe live on the fourth floor, so I didn't think a truck-mount would work. They brought portable units and had everything extracted fast.
— Grace W., LockwoodEmergency Water Extraction Questions, Answered
How quickly should water be extracted?
Within an hour or two is ideal. Every extra hour lets water travel deeper into flooring and walls.
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 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?
Often yes, with quick action. Suction mats and dehumidification can reverse mild cupping, though badly buckled boards may need to be replaced.
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.
