Equipment Guide
Water extractors remove standing water and moisture from carpet, flooring and surfaces — the critical first step in water-damage restoration before drying begins.
This is a general guide — always follow the specific unit's manual and contact us with any questions.
If water may be contaminated or near electrical sources, ensure power is safely isolated and wear PPE.
Work systematically across the affected area, overlapping passes to pull as much water as possible from carpet and flooring.
For carpet, use the extractor's weight/stand-on feature where available to press water up from the pad.
Monitor and empty the tank before it overfills.
Once standing water is removed, set up air movers and a dehumidifier to dry the structure.
