Clean Water Extraction (Category 1) and Water Removal in Canyon County
Wall Cavity Water Extraction
Water that soaked into the bottom of walls is reached through small holes or removed baseboards, then the cavity is dried with directed airflow.
Hard Surface Floor Drying
Hardwood is dried slowly with dehumidifiers and, where needed, drying mats that pull water from the boards without cracking them.
Appliance Leak Water Cleanup
Appliance leaks often spread under the appliance and into the subfloor. The appliance is pulled out so the area beneath can be dried.
Ceiling Leak Water Removal
The ceiling cavity is dried along with the room below, so both levels are back to normal before repairs.
Standing Water Pump Out
Pumping removes deep water quickly and keeps it from wicking higher into walls and cabinets while extraction gets under way.

Sudden Indoor Flooding

Puddles in Unused Rooms
Water appearing in rooms no one uses often comes from a hidden supply line leak inside a wall or under a floor.

Frequently Asked Clean Water Extraction (Category 1) Questions
What happens after the water is pumped out?
Carpet and floors are extracted, walls and subfloors are checked with meters and drying equipment runs until readings are normal.

Is commercial water extraction different from residential?
The steps are the same, but commercial jobs often cover larger areas and are planned around business hours.
Can wet carpets be saved after clean water extraction?
Often yes. Clean water extracted quickly means the carpet can usually be dried and kept, though the pad may be replaced.
What is involved in hard surface floor drying?
Extracting water from tile, concrete or wood, checking grout and seams for water underneath and drying with air movers and dehumidifiers.
