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 Lake Odessa, MI.
Our Lake Odessa, MI truck-mount units pull significantly more water per hour than portable extraction gear.
Every Water Extraction job in Lake Odessa, MI starts with water testing to classify it as clean, gray, or blackwater.
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.
Getting water out is only useful if it's done with the right classification and the right tools — here's our Lake Odessa process.
Truck-mount capacity lets us clear a flooded room significantly faster than portable units alone.
