Set the drying
Air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go in at the evaporation load of each room.

Log the readings
Daily readings track every wet material until it reaches the drying goal.
Why fast extraction matters in Parker homes
Most Parker homes have a full basement, and most of those basements are finished with carpet, pad and drywall. Water that reaches that level sits on a slab, wicks up the walls and soaks the pad from below. The longer it sits, the more material has to come out. Extraction pulls the bulk of the water in the first visit so the structural drying equipment only has to handle what soaked in.
Call before the water reaches the subfloor.

- Truck-mounted extraction units that send water out of the house through hoses
- Portable extractors for upper floors and tight spaces
- Weighted extraction tools that press water out of carpet and pad
- Submersible pumps for standing water deeper than a couple of inches
- Moisture meters and thermal imaging to find water under floors and behind baseboards
Clean water from a supply line is extracted and dried in place. Gray and black water are handled differently: porous materials touched by sewage or floodwater are removed, not dried.
When the water came from outside
Surface water from a storm or a filled window well is treated as Category 3 once it crosses soil and pavement. The EPA notes that wet materials need to be dried within 24 to 48 hours to limit mold growth, and the Ready.gov flood page covers safety around floodwater and electricity. Extraction is the step that makes that window reachable.

Water extraction questions, answered
Can a shop vacuum handle standing water in a basement?
A shop vacuum holds a few gallons at a time and cannot pull water out of carpet pad. Truck-mounted units move hundreds of gallons an hour and press the pad, which is why they are used on any loss bigger than a small spill.
Does the carpet have to be thrown out after extraction?
Not always. Carpet soaked by clean water can often be extracted and dried in place. The pad underneath is usually replaced, and carpet touched by Category 3 water is removed.
How deep does water have to be before a pump is used?
Submersible pumps are used when water stands more than an inch or two deep. Below that, extraction wands and weighted tools do the work.
Is extraction the same as drying?
No. Extraction removes liquid water. Drying removes the moisture that soaked into drywall, framing and subfloor, using air movers and dehumidifiers until the readings reach the goal.
What if the water is from a sewer backup?
Sewage is Category 3 water. The crew wears protective gear, sets containment, removes porous materials and disinfects with an EPA-registered antimicrobial before drying.
How long does extraction take?
A single room usually takes an hour or two. A flooded finished basement can take most of a day, followed by several days of drying with the equipment in place.
