Getting water out is only useful if it's done with the right classification and the right tools — here's our Oakland process.
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.
Carpet and pad get separately assessed — pad usually can't be saved, but carpet often can with fast, thorough extraction.
Injection drying systems pull moisture from beneath hardwood planks without pulling up the floor.
Subfloor moisture often hides beneath flooring that looks dry on the surface.
Every job closes with a written extraction report showing before-and-after moisture readings.
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.
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.
