The equipment matters just as much as response time for Water Extraction — volume and suction determine how much moisture stays trapped versus how much comes out.
We classify every loss as Category 1, 2, or 3 before extraction begins, then document readings throughout the job.
Our Wellman, IA truck-mount units pull significantly more water per hour than portable extraction gear.

Below is the actual technical scope behind a Water Extraction job in Wellman, 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.
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.
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.
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.
