Water Extraction is a methodology as much as a piece of equipment, and here's how our Potomac, MD crews approach it.
High-volume truck-mount units handle standing water across large areas fast.
Water is tested and classified as Category 1, 2, or 3 before extraction protocol is finalized.
Carpet and pad get separately assessed — pad usually can't be saved, but carpet often can with fast, thorough extraction.
Injection drying systems pull moisture from beneath hardwood planks without pulling up the floor.
We check subfloor moisture at multiple points, not just where the visible water pooled.
You receive documented proof of extraction completion for your own records or an insurance claim.
