We deploy truck-mount pumps for anything beyond a small, contained spill.
Classification testing happens on-site before any extraction equipment starts running.
We extract carpet and padding as distinct materials since they hold and release moisture differently.

A technician heads out immediately with truck-mount or portable units as needed.
Category testing and a written estimate come before any pump starts running.
Extraction continues until documented moisture readings confirm the job is complete.
