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

Pulling Water From Under Carpet

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

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

Before-and-After Moisture Readings

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.
