- Cut power to wet rooms. Only if the breaker panel is dry and easy to reach.
- Lift and move. Get rugs, electronics and boxes off the wet floor.
- Skip the household vacuum. It is not built for standing water and can shock.

Extraction is the first and least costly part of any dry-out. Every gallon pulled out as liquid is a gallon the dehumidifiers never have to pull out of the air, which is why the extraction crew works the floor before any drying equipment goes down.
How standing water is pulled from a slab home
In a slab-on-grade house, carpet, vinyl plank or tile sits directly on concrete, so water has nowhere to drain. Truck-mounted units provide the suction; portable extractors reach rooms the hoses cannot. On carpet, a weighted extraction tool presses water out of the pad, and soaked pad is often lifted so the slab underneath can dry.
- Truck-mounted extraction for large areas
- Weighted pad tools on wet carpet
- Squeegee and wand work on tile and vinyl
Why speed matters more than the size of the puddle
Drywall wicks water upward, and particleboard cabinet bases swell once they soak. Pulling water out within the first hours keeps the job to the floor instead of the walls. For storm season, Ready.gov flood preparedness tips cover what to do before water rises, and the same habits help with any indoor flood.

Have the standing water pulled upWhat happens after the water is out
Once the floor reads damp instead of wet, air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go in, sized to the room. Readings are taken daily and logged for the claim file. If a supply pipe caused the flood, the Texas Department of Insurance notes that sudden and accidental water damage coverage is what pays for burst pipe damage, so the photos and moisture logs matter. See structural drying for how the drying phase is measured.

(888) 527-9134 Have the standing water pulled upHow much water can water extraction remove from carpet?
A weighted extraction tool presses most of the water out of carpet and pad. Pad soaked with gray or black water is removed rather than saved.
Can wet carpet be saved after water extraction?
Often, if the water was clean and extraction started quickly. Carpet that sat in Category 2 or 3 water, or that delaminated, is replaced.
Does water extraction include drying?
Extraction removes liquid water. Drying is a separate phase with air movers and dehumidifiers, and both are normally part of one job.
How long does water extraction take?
The extraction itself usually takes a few hours for a few rooms. Drying afterward commonly runs three to five days for a contained loss.
Why use truck-mounted water extraction instead of a shop vac?
A truck-mounted unit pulls far more water per pass and lifts water out of pad that a shop vac leaves behind, so drying finishes sooner.
Is water extraction available at night?
Yes. Dispatch runs 24/7, and standing water is treated as urgent at any hour, weekends and holidays included.
