Not all water pickup is equal — a shop vac and a truck-mount extraction unit produce very different outcomes on the same flooded room.
We classify every loss as Category 1, 2, or 3 before extraction begins, then document readings throughout the job.
Truck-mount extraction is standard equipment on every Hermitage, PA call, not an upgrade.
Classification testing on every Hermitage, PA call protects both your property and our technicians.
We use specialty injection systems designed to dry hardwood from underneath rather than defaulting to tear-out.
You get documented proof of extraction progress, not just a technician's word.
Getting water out is only useful if it's done with the right classification and the right tools — here's our Hermitage process.
We deploy truck-mount pumps for anything beyond a small, contained spill.
Classification testing happens on-site before any extraction equipment starts running.
Carpet and pad get separately assessed — pad usually can't be saved, but carpet often can with fast, thorough extraction.
We monitor injection drying progress with moisture meters calibrated for wood species.
Subfloor moisture often hides beneath flooring that looks dry on the surface.
Every job closes with a written extraction report showing before-and-after moisture readings.
We ask enough questions to send the right-sized extraction unit on the first trip.
Our nearest Hermitage, PA crew arrives with extraction equipment matched to your reported loss.
You'll know the classification and cost before work starts.
We don't sign off until logged readings hit the target, not just until it looks dry.
"They saved our hardwood floor with an injection drying method instead of ripping it all out. Saved us thousands." — Owen R.
"The moisture readings they gave us before and after made the whole process feel legitimate, not just a guess." — Bianca V.
"Truck-mount extraction cleared our flooded basement way faster than the shop vac approach a different company tried first." — Malik J.
Water Extraction includes Category classification, documented moisture readings, and specialty methods like injection drying, not just pumping.
We'll assess whether injection drying is viable before recommending tear-out.
Classification determines the safety protocol and disposal requirements for the job.
You'll receive documented extraction logs suitable for insurance or your own records.
Extraction within the first few hours significantly improves the odds of saving flooring materials.
Documented reports are standard and can be provided directly to your adjuster on request.
Hermitage is within our core extraction service area, backed by regional equipment support.
