Our Emergency Water Extraction Process — Step by Step

• Step 1 — Emergency Dispatch Call us. A live dispatcher answers, gets your address, and immediately dispatches the nearest available extraction crew from our Porter TX base. We provide an ETA before we hang up.
• Step 2 — Arrival and Source Control If the water source is still active, our team assists in shutting it off or coordinates with a plumber. No extraction begins until the source is controlled.
• Step 3 — Water Category Assessment We identify whether the water is Category 1 (clean), Category 2 (gray), or Category 3 (black/contaminated). This determines the extraction protocol, protective equipment required, and which materials can be saved versus removed.
• Step 4 — Truck-Mount and Portable Extraction We connect truck-mounted extraction units and deploy portable units simultaneously for maximum extraction speed. Wand attachments remove water from surface flooring. Weighted extraction tools press into carpet to pull water from the carpet, pad, and the surface of the subfloor below.
• Step 5 — Submersible Pumping for Large Volumes For rooms with significant standing water, more than an inch, we deploy submersible pumps to move bulk water out of the space first, then follow with extraction units for the remaining moisture at the surface level.
• Step 6 — Extraction of Hard Surfaces Tile, vinyl, and concrete floors are extracted using flat surface extraction tools that remove pooled water efficiently without damaging the surface.
• Step 7 — Post-Extraction Assessment After all visible standing water is removed, we conduct a moisture assessment to document the extent of moisture that has been absorbed into structural materials, establishing the baseline for the drying phase that follows.

Can I extract water myself with a shop vac?

A standard shop vac removes surface water only and at a tiny fraction of the volume of professional equipment. It cannot extract moisture from carpet pad, subfloor, or any structural material. For any water event beyond a very small spill, professional extraction is necessary to prevent ongoing structural damage and for mold removal.

What should I do right now before your team arrives?

Turn off the water source if active. Turn off electricity to affected areas if there is any risk of electrical contact with water. Move small valuables and electronics to dry areas if safe to do so. Do not use a regular household vacuum on standing water. Call (346) 704-4232 and stay on the line with our dispatcher.
