Why Rheems Calls Us for Emergency Water Extraction
Extraction is the single most effective step in limiting water damage. Water removed by extraction never has to evaporate, which saves days of drying.
Extraction Equipment That Pulls Hard
Expect truck-mounts, portable units, weighted extractors, and floor drying mats. Stand-on extractors squeeze out pad water a wand can't reach.

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. With clean water, thorough extraction often saves the carpet.
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
Squeegees and wands clear water from tile, vinyl, and concrete, including grout lines 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 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. Air movers and dehumidifiers go in where readings call for them.

Extraction Stories From Rheems
These callers all had water soaking into floors at the worst possible time.
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., RheemsOur new oak floors were wet from a dishwasher leak. They put down suction drying mats within the hour, and the boards flattened back out.
— Paul D., RheemsWe live on the fourth floor, so I didn't think a truck-mount would work. Portable extractors handled it without a problem.
— Grace W., RheemsEmergency Water Extraction Questions, Answered
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?
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.
