When a water loss happens, removing the standing water is a key first step. Although it may only look damp, a surprising amount of water can remain trapped in carpet, padding and other materials even after the obvious water is gone.
That's where extraction comes in. Professional extraction equipment removes as much excess water as possible before the drying process begins. The more water we can physically remove, the less moisture we're asking air movers and dehumidifiers to handle afterward.
Effective extraction can help shorten drying time, reduce the amount of moisture moving into surrounding materials and give technicians better control over the drying environment.
