Below is the actual technical scope behind a Water Extraction job in Harlan, IA.
We deploy truck-mount pumps for anything beyond a small, contained spill.
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.
This specialty method can save original hardwood that would otherwise require full tear-out.
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.
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.
