Not all water pickup is equal — a shop vac and a truck-mount extraction unit produce very different outcomes on the same flooded room.
Moisture meters and documented extraction logs come standard on every Water Extraction job we run in Lisbon, IA.
Higher suction volume on every Water Extraction job in Lisbon, IA means less residual moisture left behind.
We identify the contamination category before extraction to determine the correct safety protocol.
We use specialty injection systems designed to dry hardwood from underneath rather than defaulting to tear-out.
You get documented proof of extraction progress, not just a technician's word.
Water Extraction is a methodology as much as a piece of equipment, and here's how our Lisbon, IA crews approach it.
We deploy truck-mount pumps for anything beyond a small, contained spill.
Classification testing happens on-site before any extraction equipment starts running.
Carpet and pad get separately assessed — pad usually can't be saved, but carpet often can with fast, thorough extraction.
We monitor injection drying progress with moisture meters calibrated for wood species.
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.
You'll know the classification and cost before work starts.
We don't sign off until logged readings hit the target, not just until it looks dry.
"They saved our hardwood floor with an injection drying method instead of ripping it all out. Saved us thousands." — Owen R.
"The moisture readings they gave us before and after made the whole process feel legitimate, not just a guess." — Bianca V.
"Truck-mount extraction cleared our flooded basement way faster than the shop vac approach a different company tried first." — Malik J.
A basic pump-out skips classification testing and moisture documentation that Water Extraction includes.
If caught early enough, hardwood can frequently be saved with specialty extraction rather than replacement.
Category 1 is clean water, Category 2 is gray water with some contamination, and Category 3 is sewage or blackwater requiring full PPE.
Yes, every job includes a written report with before-and-after moisture readings.
Extraction within the first few hours significantly improves the odds of saving flooring materials.
Yes, every extraction job closes with a documented report showing classification results and moisture readings.
If you're in or near Lisbon, an extraction crew can typically respond the same day.
