Professional Water Extraction | Fast Service in Northern CA
Every hour water sits, it spreads further and causes more damage. Our truck-mounted extraction units remove up to 25 gallons per minute—that's 1,500 gallons per hour—while portable units reach every corner of your home. Speed matters, and we bring the equipment to match.
Why Professional Extraction Beats DIY
A shop vac removes surface water. Professional extraction removes water from carpet backing, pad, subfloor, and concrete pores. Our equipment extracts 90%+ of water from materials versus 30-40% with consumer equipment. This difference translates to days saved in drying time and significantly less damage to your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions from Northern California homeowners
Can't I just use fans to dry everything?
Fans move air but don't remove water. Without extraction first, you're just circulating humid air while water continues damaging materials. Extraction removes the bulk water; drying equipment handles the remaining moisture. Both steps are essential.
My carpet pad is soaked. Does it need to go?
For clean water (Category 1) extracted within 48 hours, pad can often be saved with professional extraction. Contaminated water or delayed response typically requires pad replacement. We assess on-site and explain your options honestly.
How do you get water out of walls?
We use injection extraction tools that penetrate drywall to reach wall cavities. Combined with strategic air movement and dehumidification, we dry walls without always removing them. Moisture meters verify when cavities are dry.
What equipment do you actually bring?
Truck-mounted extraction unit, portable extractors for stairs and tight spaces, weighted carpet tools, hard surface tools, wall cavity injectors, moisture meters, and thermal cameras. We bring everything needed—no waiting for additional equipment.
