Extraction is the first and most important step after a flood or leak. Removing liquid water quickly reduces how much soaks into flooring, walls and subfloors — and shortens drying time.
We use extraction methods suited to the surface and the volume of water, from carpeted rooms to concrete basement floors.
Where extraction is needed
- Standing water on basement floors
- Soaked carpet and underlay
- Water pooled under appliances or cabinets
- Commercial floors after leaks or sprinkler discharge
How we approach water extraction
- 01
Safety check

- 02
Bulk removal
Remove standing water from the affected area.
- 03
Surface extraction
Extract water from carpets and porous flooring as thoroughly as possible.
- 04
Hand-off to drying
Set up structural drying once liquid water has been removed.

Safety reminder
Never enter standing water that may be in contact with electricity. Treat water from outside, drains or sewers as contaminated and avoid direct contact.
