What gets handled

How Water Extraction Is Done on Different Floors

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.

T

Truck-Mount Extraction

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

Category-Based Removal

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

Readings before and after show how much water was removed and set the starting point for drying.

How it works

Four Steps to Dry Floors

Assessment and price

The pro identifies the water category, maps the wet area with meters, and gives you a written price before running the extractor.

Floors cleared

With the water out, the pro sets air movers and dehumidifiers and schedules follow-up readings.

The pad is holding more water than you think.

FAQ

Water Extraction Questions Answered

A wet vac skims surface water. Professional extractors have much stronger suction, and weighted tools press water out of the pad and subfloor, which shortens drying and reduces mold risk.

Often, if the water was clean and extraction happens quickly. The pad is usually replaced. Carpet soaked by sewage or floodwater should be discarded.

Category 1 is clean water from a supply line. Category 2 is gray water from appliances or overflows and contains contaminants. Category 3 is grossly contaminated, like sewage or outside floodwater.

Extraction for a few rooms usually takes one to three hours. Drying afterward takes several days.

Suction mats can draw water from hardwood. Solid wood has the best odds of recovery.

No. We connect you with an independent local pro. Please confirm their license and insurance before work starts.
