Not all water pickup is equal — a shop vac and a truck-mount extraction unit produce very different outcomes on the same flooded room.
We classify every loss as Category 1, 2, or 3 before extraction begins, then document readings throughout the job.
Truck-mount extraction is standard equipment on every Hercules, CA 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.
Every Water Extraction job in Hercules, CA comes with moisture readings logged before, during, and after extraction.
Below is the actual technical scope behind a Water Extraction job in Hercules, CA.
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.

A technician heads out immediately with truck-mount or portable units as needed.
You'll know the classification and cost before work starts.
Extraction continues until documented moisture readings confirm the job is complete.
