Water extraction.
All extraction tools rely upon the principle of airflow through the affected carpet and underlay in order to remove water. for example: High negative pressures are created by the vacuum equipment, whether portable or truck mounted. Hoses usually 2" in diameter are then used to connect the vacuum equipment to an extraction tool. Airflow through the tool and hose removes water from the material and carries it to the water tank.

Reporting Water Damage..things to note
When reporting a water disaster a few things to keep in mind that you should report.
1. Origination (what is the source of water)
2. Water Cleanliness (water from a dishwasher or ice maker line, over flow from a toilet )
3. The extent of Water Damage ( how far has it migrated, has it wicked up the walls )
4. Have you done anything to clean up (mitigate) before calling. What?
Always remember the first concern (after stopping the water at source-if possible) should always be your health and safety.
