How the crew handles water extraction and removal
Extraction removes far more water than any amount of air movement. The extraction crew gets standing water out first, because every gallon left behind has to be evaporated later.

How water extraction and removal is handled, step by step
Assess
Source, category and how far the water spread.
Extract
Truck-mounted or portable passes over every wet floor.
Remove
Pad, baseboards and wet materials that cannot dry.
Hand off to drying
Air movers and dehumidifiers set to the readings.
Truck-mounted or portable
A truck-mounted unit parks outside and runs hoses in, which suits a large flooded area. Portable extractors go where hoses cannot reach easily, such as a back bedroom on a big lot or the belly of a manufactured home.
- Carpet and pad: weighted wand or rider passes
- Tile and sealed concrete: squeegee wands and floor tools
- Under a manufactured home: pumps and wet vacuums through the belly
- Garages and patios: pumps for deeper water
Carpet and pad decisions
Clean water caught early can often be extracted and dried in place with the pad still down. Gray water usually means the pad comes out, and Category 3 water such as flash flood runoff means the carpet and pad both go. The EPA advises drying wet materials within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth.
Mud and silt after a storm
Runoff from a desert storm carries sand and silt that settles as the water slows. The crew shovels and squeegees the solids out before extraction, then washes hard floors so the residue does not dry into them. Ready.gov lists safety steps for going back into a flooded home.
Trade fact: Extraction and drying are separate steps. Extraction removes liquid water; air movers and dehumidifiers then pull out what soaked into the materials.

Other water problems the crew handles
How much water can extraction remove?
Most of the liquid water in carpet and pad, which cuts drying time by days. What soaked into drywall, framing and the slab still needs drying equipment.
Can my carpet be saved?
Often, when the water was clean and extraction started early. Gray water usually means new pad, and Category 3 water means the carpet and pad come out.
Why use a truck-mounted unit?
It has more suction than a portable machine and parks outside, so a large flooded area gets cleared faster. Portables reach the spots hoses cannot.
Is extraction the same as drying?
No. Extraction removes standing water; drying removes the moisture left in the materials with air movers and dehumidifiers, checked with daily readings.
What happens to mud after a flash flood?
Silt and mud are shoveled and squeegeed out first, then floors are extracted and washed, since flood water is Category 3.
Will insurance cover extraction?
Extraction after a sudden and accidental leak is often covered, while flood water usually needs flood coverage. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
