Not all water pickup is equal — a shop vac and a truck-mount extraction unit produce very different outcomes on the same flooded room.

Water Extraction is a methodology as much as a piece of equipment, and here's how our Vernon Hills, IL crews approach it.
Truck-mount capacity lets us clear a flooded room significantly faster than portable units alone.
We determine contamination level first, since blackwater requires PPE and disposal steps clean water doesn't.
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.
We check subfloor moisture at multiple points, not just where the visible water pooled.
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.
We test and classify the water, then provide a written quote before extraction begins.
Extraction continues until documented moisture readings confirm the job is complete.

Our Water Extraction process tests, extracts, and verifies with logged readings, well beyond a simple pump-out.

Verification reports are standard, not an optional add-on.
As soon as possible — every hour standing water sits increases how deep it penetrates flooring and subfloor.
