Water Extraction is a methodology as much as a piece of equipment, and here's how our Hilo, HI crews approach it.
High-volume truck-mount units handle standing water across large areas fast.
Water is tested and classified as Category 1, 2, or 3 before extraction protocol is finalized.
We extract carpet and padding as distinct materials since they hold and release moisture differently.
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.
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.
Category testing and a written estimate come before any pump starts running.
