Service Overview
Extraction Targets Water Before Drying Begins
Water extraction is the controlled removal of unwanted water using equipment selected for the depth, location and material affected. It can involve surface water as well as moisture held in carpet, padding and other accessible materials.
Extraction can reduce the amount of moisture that drying equipment must address. It is commonly followed by moisture mapping, air movement, dehumidification and evaluation of materials that cannot be adequately dried.
