Water Extraction Methods for Every Surface

The method depends on the floor and the water. Clean water in carpet calls for different tools than gray water on hardwood.

T

High-Volume Truck-Mount Removal

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

W

Pulling Water From Under Carpet

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 Floor Extraction Mats

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.

How it works
