Not all water pickup is equal — a shop vac and a truck-mount extraction unit produce very different outcomes on the same flooded room.
Our Kensington, MD Water Extraction crews run truck-mount units capable of pulling far more volume than portable equipment.
Truck-mount extraction is standard equipment on every Kensington, MD 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.
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 Kensington, MD.
We deploy truck-mount pumps for anything beyond a small, contained spill.
Classification testing happens on-site before any extraction equipment starts running.
Carpet and pad get separately assessed — pad usually can't be saved, but carpet often can with fast, thorough extraction.
This specialty method can save original hardwood that would otherwise require full tear-out.
Extraction continues below the surface layer whenever subfloor readings show trapped moisture.
Verification reports give a data-backed answer to whether extraction actually solved the problem.
A quick call helps us determine truck-mount versus portable equipment needs before we arrive.
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.
