Extraction continues below the surface layer whenever subfloor readings show trapped moisture.
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.
A technician heads out immediately with truck-mount or portable units as needed.
