What gets handled

Water Extraction Services by Material

Carpet, hardwood, tile, and concrete each hold water differently, so the pro picks tools based on what is wet and what kind of water it is.

T

Truck-Mounted Water Removal

Large losses get a truck-mount, which pulls more water per pass and keeps the noisy machine outside.

W

Stand-On Pad Extraction

Ride-on or stand-on weighted extraction tools compress the carpet and pad, forcing out water a wand alone cannot reach. This often lets the carpet stay in place.

H

Hardwood Water Removal

Suction mats placed on hardwood pull water up through board seams, which can prevent cupping and save the floor.

S

When Pad Has to Go

Clean Category 1 water often allows the carpet to be saved with new pad. Category 2 water usually means pad removal. Category 3 water means carpet and pad both come out.

M

Measuring What Came Out

Readings before and after show how much water was removed and set the starting point for drying.
