What extraction involves

Truck-mounted or portable pumps and extractors remove standing water; then air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure, monitored with moisture meters over several days (duration varies — confirm with provider). Extraction alone does not finish the job: hidden moisture in walls and subfloors is what drives mold.

Typical emergencies we route

• Burst or leaking supply line, water heater rupture
• AC air-handler pan overflow into ceilings/closets
• Storm water entering through doors or windows
• Sewage backup (Category 3 — tell us on the call; not every provider handles it)

Condos and multi-unit buildings

Leaks between units involve your association and possibly the neighbor's insurer. Notify building management right away.

Response time

Response times vary by provider; we tell you current availability on the call. — never promise a minute count.

Next step after drying: check for mold → mold inspection.

FAQ

Q: Can I extract water myself with a shop vac? A: For a small clean-water spill, possibly. For anything soaking carpet pad, drywall or multiple rooms, professional drying equipment is usually needed to prevent mold.

Q: Is sewage backup handled? A: Some providers handle Category 3 water. Say so on the call so we route correctly.

Q: What does extraction cost? A: See the cost guide.
