Not all water pickup is equal — a shop vac and a truck-mount extraction unit produce very different outcomes on the same flooded room.
Our Sterling, IL Water Extraction crews run truck-mount units capable of pulling far more volume than portable equipment.
Our Sterling, IL truck-mount units pull significantly more water per hour than portable extraction gear.
