Large losses get a truck-mount, which pulls more water per pass and keeps the noisy machine outside.
Weighted tools press down on the carpet and draw water out of the pad underneath, which can save the carpet.
Suction mats placed on hardwood pull water up through board seams, which can prevent cupping and save the floor.
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.
Readings before and after show how much water was removed and set the starting point for drying.
Let dispatch know which rooms and floor types are wet, so the right extraction equipment gets sent.
