Carpet, hardwood, tile, and concrete each hold water differently, so the pro picks tools based on what is wet and what kind of water it is.

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.
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.
