Water Extraction is a methodology as much as a piece of equipment, and here's how our Ottawa, IL crews approach it.
We deploy truck-mount pumps for anything beyond a small, contained spill.
Classification testing happens on-site before any extraction equipment starts running.
Weighted extraction tools pull water trapped deep in carpet fiber that a surface pass would miss.

Subfloor moisture often hides beneath flooring that looks dry on the surface.
You receive documented proof of extraction completion for your own records or an insurance claim.
