Water Extraction is a methodology as much as a piece of equipment, and here's how our Forest Hill, MD crews approach it.

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.
