Not all water pickup is equal — a shop vac and a truck-mount extraction unit produce very different outcomes on the same flooded room.
Moisture meters and documented extraction logs come standard on every Water Extraction job we run in West Boothbay Harbor, ME.
Truck-mount extraction is standard equipment on every West Boothbay Harbor, ME call, not an upgrade.
We identify the contamination category before extraction to determine the correct safety protocol.
We use specialty injection systems designed to dry hardwood from underneath rather than defaulting to tear-out.
You get documented proof of extraction progress, not just a technician's word.
Below is the actual technical scope behind a Water Extraction job in West Boothbay Harbor, ME.
Truck-mount capacity lets us clear a flooded room significantly faster than portable units alone.
Water is tested and classified as Category 1, 2, or 3 before extraction protocol is finalized.
Carpet and pad get separately assessed — pad usually can't be saved, but carpet often can with fast, thorough extraction.
We monitor injection drying progress with moisture meters calibrated for wood species.
We check subfloor moisture at multiple points, not just where the visible water pooled.
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.
Equipment is pre-loaded based on dispatch notes, so there's no delay on arrival.
We test and classify the water, then provide a written quote before extraction begins.
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.
Water Extraction includes Category classification, documented moisture readings, and specialty methods like injection drying, not just pumping.
If caught early enough, hardwood can frequently be saved with specialty extraction rather than replacement.
Category 1 is clean water, Category 2 is gray water with some contamination, and Category 3 is sewage or blackwater requiring full PPE.
Yes, every job includes a written report with before-and-after moisture readings.
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.
West Boothbay Harbor is within our core extraction service area, backed by regional equipment support.
