Emergency Water Extraction Solutions
Here's how extraction is handled by surface.
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. 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. 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. Air movers and dehumidifiers go in where readings call for them.

Extraction Stories From Lockhart
These callers all had water soaking into floors at the worst possible time.
The upstairs washer flooded the hall carpet around midnight. The contractor used a weighted extractor and saved the carpet; only the pad had to be replaced.
— Erin S., LockhartA dishwasher leak soaked our brand-new hardwood. Drying mats went down quickly and the boards settled back flat.
— Paul D., LockhartWe live on the fourth floor, so I didn't think a truck-mount would work. Portable extractors handled it without a problem.

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?
Often, if the water was clean and it's extracted quickly with weighted tools. The pad is more likely to need replacement. Carpet soaked by sewage or floodwater is generally discarded.
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?
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.
