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.
Higher suction volume on every Water Extraction job in Lafayette, OR means less residual moisture left behind.

Saving original hardwood is possible with the right extraction method applied quickly.
Every Water Extraction job in Lafayette, OR comes with moisture readings logged before, during, and after extraction.
Below is the actual technical scope behind a Water Extraction job in Lafayette, OR.
We deploy truck-mount pumps for anything beyond a small, contained spill.
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.
Subfloor moisture often hides beneath flooring that looks dry on the surface.
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.
Equipment is pre-loaded based on dispatch notes, so there's no delay on arrival.
Category testing and a written estimate come before any pump starts running.
Extraction continues until documented moisture readings confirm the job is complete.

"The moisture readings they gave us before and after made the whole process feel legitimate, not just a guess." — Bianca V.
"Truck-mount extraction cleared our flooded basement way faster than the shop vac approach a different company tried first." — Malik J.
A basic pump-out skips classification testing and moisture documentation that Water Extraction includes.
Often, yes — injection drying pulls moisture from beneath the boards without removing the floor.
Category 1 is clean water, Category 2 is gray water with some contamination, and Category 3 is sewage or blackwater requiring full PPE.
Verification reports are standard, not an optional add-on.
As soon as possible — every hour standing water sits increases how deep it penetrates flooring and subfloor.
We issue a written extraction report formatted for insurance use, not just internal notes.
