Not all water pickup is equal — a shop vac and a truck-mount extraction unit produce very different outcomes on the same flooded room.
Our Chatham, VA Water Extraction crews run truck-mount units capable of pulling far more volume than portable equipment.
Truck-mount extraction is standard equipment on every Chatham, VA call, not an upgrade.
We identify the contamination category before extraction to determine the correct safety protocol.
Saving original hardwood is possible with the right extraction method applied quickly.
Every Water Extraction job in Chatham, VA comes with moisture readings logged before, during, and after extraction.
Getting water out is only useful if it's done with the right classification and the right tools — here's our Chatham process.
High-volume truck-mount units handle standing water across large areas fast.
