The Clean Water Extraction (Category 1) Process for Properties in Ahwatukee
Hard Surface Floor Drying
Tile, sealed concrete and hardwood are squeegeed and extracted, then dried with air movers. Grout lines and seams are checked for water underneath.
Appliance Leak Water Cleanup
Clean appliance water dried quickly usually leaves cabinets and flooring in good shape. Readings confirm when the area is dry.
Wet Carpet Water Extraction
Carpet pad is checked after extraction. Pad soaked through is often replaced, while the carpet above is floated and dried.
Clean Water Removal From Flooring
Floors are dried until readings match unaffected areas, so new flooring or refinishing does not trap moisture.
Standing Water Pump Out
Standing water from a supply line or appliance is pumped out with submersible pumps when it is more than shallow, then floors are extracted.
