Not all water pickup is equal — a shop vac and a truck-mount extraction unit produce very different outcomes on the same flooded room.
We classify every loss as Category 1, 2, or 3 before extraction begins, then document readings throughout the job.
Truck-mount extraction is standard equipment on every Arlington, MN call, not an upgrade.
We identify the contamination category before extraction to determine the correct safety protocol.
Saving original hardwood is possible with the right extraction method applied quickly.
Every Water Extraction job in Arlington, MN comes with moisture readings logged before, during, and after extraction.
Below is the actual technical scope behind a Water Extraction job in Arlington, MN.
Truck-mount capacity lets us clear a flooded room significantly faster than portable units alone.
Water is tested and classified as Category 1, 2, or 3 before extraction protocol is finalized.
Weighted extraction tools pull water trapped deep in carpet fiber that a surface pass would miss.
Injection drying systems pull moisture from beneath hardwood planks without pulling up the floor.
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.
Tell our Arlington, MN dispatcher what happened so the right extraction equipment gets loaded.
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.
We don't sign off until logged readings hit the target, not just until it looks dry.
