Below is the actual technical scope behind a Water Extraction job in Richmond, CA.
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.
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.
Every job closes with a written extraction report showing before-and-after moisture readings.
A quick call helps us determine truck-mount versus portable equipment needs before we arrive.
Equipment is pre-loaded based on dispatch notes, so there's no delay on arrival.
Category testing and a written estimate come before any pump starts running.
Extraction continues until documented moisture readings confirm the job is complete.
