How water is removed

  • Submersible pumps for deep water in basements and crawl spaces.
  • Truck-mounted and portable extractors for carpet, pad and hard floors.
  • Weighted extraction tools that press water out of carpet.
  • Wet vacuums for corners, stairs and tight spaces.

While you wait

  • Stop the source if you can: the main water shutoff is usually near the water heater or where the line enters the house.
  • Move furniture, rugs and electronics off wet floors.
  • Put foil or blocks under furniture legs on wet carpet.
  • Don't use a household vacuum on water.

After extraction

Extraction removes the water you can see. Floors, walls and subfloors stay wet inside, so structural drying follows.
