How Water Extraction Is Done on Different Floors

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

24/7 Emergency Water Extraction experts in Maplewood, MO
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

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

H

Hardwood Floor Extraction Mats

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

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

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.
