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.
Truck-mount extraction is standard equipment on every Council Bluffs, IA call, not an upgrade.
Classification testing on every Council Bluffs, IA call protects both your property and our technicians.
Saving original hardwood is possible with the right extraction method applied quickly.
Our Council Bluffs, IA extraction reports give your insurer verifiable data, not a vague summary.
Water Extraction is a methodology as much as a piece of equipment, and here's how our Council Bluffs, IA crews approach it.
Truck-mount capacity lets us clear a flooded room significantly faster than portable units alone.
Classification testing happens on-site before any extraction equipment starts running.
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.
Verification reports give a data-backed answer to whether extraction actually solved the problem.
We ask enough questions to send the right-sized extraction unit on the first trip.
A technician heads out immediately with truck-mount or portable units as needed.
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.
