Truck-mount capacity lets us clear a flooded room significantly faster than portable units alone.
Water is tested and classified as Category 1, 2, or 3 before extraction protocol is finalized.
Weighted extraction tools pull water trapped deep in carpet fiber that a surface pass would miss.
We monitor injection drying progress with moisture meters calibrated for wood species.
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.
We ask enough questions to send the right-sized extraction unit on the first trip.
Equipment is pre-loaded based on dispatch notes, so there's no delay on arrival.
Category testing and a written estimate come before any pump starts running.
We don't sign off until logged readings hit the target, not just until it looks dry.
