Not all water pickup is equal — a shop vac and a truck-mount extraction unit produce very different outcomes on the same flooded room.
We classify every loss as Category 1, 2, or 3 before extraction begins, then document readings throughout the job.
Our Mecosta, MI truck-mount units pull significantly more water per hour than portable extraction gear.
Every Water Extraction job in Mecosta, MI starts with water testing to classify it as clean, gray, or blackwater.
Saving original hardwood is possible with the right extraction method applied quickly.
Our Mecosta, MI extraction reports give your insurer verifiable data, not a vague summary.
Below is the actual technical scope behind a Water Extraction job in Mecosta, MI.
Truck-mount capacity lets us clear a flooded room significantly faster than portable units alone.
We determine contamination level first, since blackwater requires PPE and disposal steps clean water doesn't.
We extract carpet and padding as distinct materials since they hold and release moisture differently.
Injection drying systems pull moisture from beneath hardwood planks without pulling up the floor.
We check subfloor moisture at multiple points, not just where the visible water pooled.
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.
Equipment is pre-loaded based on dispatch notes, so there's no delay on arrival.
You'll know the classification and cost before work starts.
We don't sign off until logged readings hit the target, not just until it looks dry.
