Water Extraction is a methodology as much as a piece of equipment, and here's how our West Chicago, IL crews approach it.
High-volume truck-mount units handle standing water across large areas fast.
Water is tested and classified as Category 1, 2, or 3 before extraction protocol is finalized.
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.
Verification reports give a data-backed answer to whether extraction actually solved the problem.
We ask enough questions to send the right-sized extraction unit on the first trip.
A technician heads out immediately with truck-mount or portable units as needed.
We test and classify the water, then provide a written quote before extraction begins.
We don't sign off until logged readings hit the target, not just until it looks dry.
