Extraction removes liquid water
Extraction is the first step: pulling standing water out of floors, carpet and underlay. It's fast and removes most of the water by volume.
Drying removes absorbed moisture
Drywall, wood and concrete absorb water. Air movers and dehumidifiers pull that moisture out over several days, and moisture meters confirm progress.
Why skipping drying is risky
Surfaces can feel dry while the materials behind them remain wet. Trapped moisture can lead to odours, warping and conditions that favour mould.
