Getting water out is only useful if it's done with the right classification and the right tools — here's our Alton process.
High-volume truck-mount units handle standing water across large areas fast.
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.
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.
We test and classify the water, then provide a written quote before extraction begins.
