Water Extraction is a methodology as much as a piece of equipment, and here's how our Sterling, IL crews approach it.
Truck-mount capacity lets us clear a flooded room significantly faster than portable units alone.
We determine contamination level first, since blackwater requires PPE and disposal steps clean water doesn't.
We extract carpet and padding as distinct materials since they hold and release moisture differently.
We monitor injection drying progress with moisture meters calibrated for wood species.
Extraction continues below the surface layer whenever subfloor readings show trapped moisture.
Every job closes with a written extraction report showing before-and-after moisture readings.
A quick call helps us determine truck-mount versus portable equipment needs before we arrive.
