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 Woodlawn, VA call, not an upgrade.
Every Water Extraction job in Woodlawn, VA starts with water testing to classify it as clean, gray, or blackwater.
Hardwood floors in Woodlawn, VA often don't need replacement if injection drying pulls moisture from beneath the boards fast enough.
