Water Extraction Services by Material

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

T

Truck-Mounted Water Removal

For large areas, a truck-mounted unit with strong vacuum lift pulls water through long hoses, removing far more per pass than any portable machine.

W

Weighted Carpet and Pad Extraction

Weighted tools press down on the carpet and draw water out of the pad underneath, which can save the carpet.

H

Hardwood Water Removal

Specialized floor mats connected to high-pressure vacuum draw moisture up through the boards and the gaps between them, giving solid hardwood a real chance at survival.

S

Category-Based Removal

Water category decides what stays. Clean water may only cost you the pad, while sewage or floodwater means the carpet goes too.

M

Verified Extraction

The pro takes moisture meter readings before and after extraction so you can see the difference and the drying phase starts from a documented baseline.

Extraction Jobs Callers Described

The washer hose let go and soaked three rooms. They used a stand-on tool that pushed water out of the pad. We kept the carpet and only replaced the pad in one room.

FAQ

Common Water Extraction Questions

A wet vac skims surface water. Professional extractors have much stronger suction, and weighted tools press water out of the pad and subfloor, which shortens drying and reduces mold risk.

Clean water and fast extraction give carpet a good chance. Contaminated water means it should go.

Category 1 is clean water from a supply line. Category 2 is gray water from appliances or overflows and contains contaminants. Category 3 is grossly contaminated, like sewage or outside floodwater.

A typical extraction visit runs a few hours. The drying phase that follows takes longer.

Suction mats can draw water from hardwood. Solid wood has the best odds of recovery.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who perform and bill for the work.
