Below is the actual technical scope behind a Water Extraction job in Erie, MI.
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.
Weighted extraction tools pull water trapped deep in carpet fiber that a surface pass would miss.
Injection drying systems pull moisture from beneath hardwood planks without pulling up the floor.
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.
A quick call helps us determine truck-mount versus portable equipment needs before we arrive.
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.
