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 Athens, IL.
Truck-mount extraction is standard equipment on every Athens, IL call, not an upgrade.
Classification testing on every Athens, IL call protects both your property and our technicians.
Saving original hardwood is possible with the right extraction method applied quickly.
You get documented proof of extraction progress, not just a technician's word.
Below is the actual technical scope behind a Water Extraction job in Athens, IL.
We deploy truck-mount pumps for anything beyond a small, contained spill.
Classification testing happens on-site before any extraction equipment starts running.
Weighted extraction tools pull water trapped deep in carpet fiber that a surface pass would miss.
This specialty method can save original hardwood that would otherwise require full tear-out.
We check subfloor moisture at multiple points, not just where the visible water pooled.
Every job closes with a written extraction report showing before-and-after moisture readings.
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.
We test and classify the water, then provide a written quote before extraction begins.
Extraction continues until documented moisture readings confirm the job is complete.
