Water extraction and removal is the step that takes out the water you can see and much of the water you cannot. Pumps handle deep standing water. Truck-mounted or portable extractors pull water out of carpet and pad. Squeegee tools clear tile, vinyl and sealed concrete.
Good extraction shortens drying. Air movers and dehumidifiers remove water as vapor, which is slow. Pulling it out as liquid first can cut days off the job, especially in humid Edmond summers when indoor air is already damp.
Carpet is extracted with weighted tools that press water out of the pad. If the water was clean and the carpet is caught early, it may be dried in place. Garages and laundry rooms, where water heaters and washers often fail, are squeegeed to floor drains or out the door.
Extraction is not the end of the job. Water that wicked into drywall, baseboards and the slab still has to be dried with equipment and checked with meters.
