What gets handled

Water Extraction Methods for Every Surface

The method depends on the floor and the water. Clean water in carpet calls for different tools than gray water on hardwood.

24/7 Emergency Water Extraction experts in Riverwoods, IL
T

High-Volume Truck-Mount Removal

For large areas, a truck-mounted unit with strong vacuum lift pulls water through long hoses, removing far more per pass than any portable machine.

W

Weighted Carpet and Pad Extraction

Weighted tools press down on the carpet and draw water out of the pad underneath, which can save the carpet.

H

Saving Wet Hardwood

Suction mats placed on hardwood pull water up through board seams, which can prevent cupping and save the floor.

S

When Pad Has to Go

Water category decides what stays. Clean water may only cost you the pad, while sewage or floodwater means the carpet goes too.

M

Before-and-After Moisture Readings

The pro takes moisture meter readings before and after extraction so you can see the difference and the drying phase starts from a documented baseline.

Rapid dispatch process

Common Water Extraction Questions

Shop vacs only reach the surface. Pro equipment pulls water out of the pad and subfloor, where it would otherwise sit for days.

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, Category 2 is gray water with some contamination, and Category 3 is sewage or floodwater that needs full protective handling.

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. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who perform and bill for the work.
