Signs to look for

When to call us for commercial extraction

As moisture readings guide drying, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

The wet area is measured in thousands of square feet

As moisture readings guide drying, one open floorplate can hold more water than a dozen residential rooms. From the source check, area, not appearance, decides how many machines and crews are needed.

Standing water is deeper than about an inch

As moisture readings guide drying, above about an inch a wet vacuum stops being useful and a submersible pump becomes the right first tool.

Your janitorial crew has worked it for hours and it is not shrinking

To control the wet boundary, that usually means water is being pushed rather than removed.

The floor is glue down carpet or carpet tile

As moisture readings guide drying, there is no cushion to squeeze, so the water sits in the backing and along the floor adhesive line.

Vinyl composition tile or sheet vinyl is lifting or the seams are opening

To control the wet boundary, water under resilient flooring cannot evaporate through it. Through the final dry check, lifting tiles and releasing seams are the visible sign it is already trapped underneath.

Water is under a raised access floor or in floor boxes

From the source check, water below panels reaches cabling and outlets and is invisible from above.

What happens

How we handle commercial extraction

Our water-damage technicians adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Floorplate source check and an extraction grid

As moisture readings guide drying, we measure the wet area, mark it on your plan, and divide the floor into sections with an order of work.

Truck mounted extraction, multiple units where the area justifies it

From the source check, a truck mounted extractor moves water by the hundreds of gallons per hour.

Portable extraction for upper floors and long hose runs

Through the final dry check, truck mount hose has a practical reach, so upper floors are served by portable units staged near the work with a shorter run to the machine.

Submersible pumping to take the depth down first

As moisture readings guide drying, pumps handle bulk volume far faster than any extraction tool.

Weighted tool passes on carpet, with the glue down decision made honestly

Through the final dry check, weight closes the vacuum seal, so the tool is ridden slowly.

Hard surface and seam extraction on resilient and concrete floors

Through the final dry check, sealed heads work vinyl composition tile, sheet vinyl and sealed concrete. From the source check, seams, expansion joints and wall lines get individual detail passes.

What to expect

What to expect from our water-damage technicians

To control the wet boundary, here is how we usually handle commercial extraction near Massachusetts.

  1. 1

    You call with square footage and floor covering

    To control the wet boundary, those two facts size the job faster than anything else.

    Your call
  2. 2

    Source isolated and the discharge question answered

    To control the wet boundary, your engineer isolates the supply or riser. As moisture readings guide drying, if the valve can only be reached through standing water, stop and call the utility.

    +5 minutes
  3. 3

    The work window is agreed

    Through the final dry check, now, tonight after close, or across the weekend. To control the wet boundary, crews are dispatched today or tonight depending on which window you choose.

    +15 minutes
  4. 4

    Access, parking, hose route and elevator booked

    As moisture readings guide drying, we confirm where the truck sits, how the hose reaches the floor, and which freight elevator is reserved.

    Before we arrive
  5. 5

    The floor is gridded and the order of work set

    As moisture readings guide drying, we walk the area with meters, mark the wet boundary and split it into sections.

    On arrival
  6. 6

    Pumps take the depth down

    To control the wet boundary, submersible pumps clear bulk volume first at the low points. To control the wet boundary, extraction tools need a floor they can seal against to work properly.

    First hour on site
  7. 7

    Gross extraction across the open floor

    To control the wet boundary, truck mounted and portable units make fast first passes section by section.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

As moisture readings guide drying, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As moisture readings guide drying, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Extraction stage only on a commercial floorplate, clean waterThrough the final dry check, national estimate for mechanical extraction only. Through the final dry check, drying equipment, monitoring and repairs are separate.$1 to $3 per square foot
Overnight extraction crew on an open floorplate of about 5,000 to 15,000 square feetTo control the wet boundary, national estimate for a single shift including crew, machines and shift premium.$2,500 to $9,000
Pump out plus gross extraction on one commercial levelThrough the final dry check, national estimate for the water removal stage alone, on clean water.$1,500 to $6,000
Glue down carpet or carpet tile extraction with detail passesFrom the source check, national estimate. From the source check, slower than open hard floor because every pass has to seal against the carpet backing.$0.75 to $2.00 per square foot
Vinyl composition tile, sheet vinyl or sealed concrete detail extractionFrom the source check, national estimate. Through the final dry check, fast on open areas, slower along seams, expansion joints and wall lines.$0.50 to $1.50 per square foot
Additional truck mounted unit and crew on the same shiftFrom the source check, national estimate. As moisture readings guide drying, this is how a floor that would take two days gets cleared in one night.$800 to $2,500 per shift
After hours dispatch on the first visitThrough the final dry check, national estimate for the after hours call out, before any shift labor premium.$100 to $400
  • Total square footage extracted
    To control the wet boundary, extraction is fundamentally an area job.

  • Floor covering type
    Through the final dry check, sealed concrete extracts fastest.

  • Depth of standing water
    To control the wet boundary, deep water needs pumping before tools are useful, which adds a stage.

  • Crew size needed to fit the window
    To control the wet boundary, clearing a floor in one overnight shift takes more crew than clearing it in two days.

  • After hours and shift premiums
    From the source check, after hours dispatch is commonly $100 to $400 nationally, and overnight or weekend crew shifts carry a labor premium on top of that.

  • Access, hose distance and vertical staging
    Through the final dry check, upper floors need portable units, staging space and a reserved freight elevator.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

To control the wet boundary, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Every hour, more water moves somewhere a tool cannot reach

As moisture readings guide drying, water on an open floor travels under partitions, into wall bases and along the floor adhesive line.

Floor adhesive releases and salvageable flooring stops being salvageable

From the source check, prolonged wetting softens the adhesive under glue down carpet and resilient tile.

Miss the window and you extract during trading hours

As moisture readings guide drying, hose across a corridor and machines running through a business day cost more than the shift premium you were trying to avoid.

Water under a raised floor reaches cabling and floor boxes

From the source check, below panel water sits directly against connections and conduit. From the source check, that area stays de-energized until it is extracted and cleared by your electrician.

Helpful service information

What to know about commercial extraction

From the source check, start with the short explanation. To control the wet boundary, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

From the source check, extraction machines are rated on vacuum lift and airflow, and a truck mounted extractor combines high lift with the power to run long hose.

Read the explanation

To control the wet boundary, the volume math is why commercial extraction is its own trade. From the source check, extraction machines are rated on vacuum lift and airflow, and a truck mounted extractor combines high lift with the power to run long hose.

How the next step is decided

As moisture readings guide drying, every foot of hose costs vacuum performance, so a truck mounted unit parked at the loading area has a practical working radius.

Read the explanation

From the source check, access is the constraint that decides how much crew is useful. As moisture readings guide drying, every foot of hose costs vacuum performance, so a truck mounted unit parked at the loading area has a practical working radius.

What may change the work

As moisture readings guide drying, glue down carpet and carpet tile have no cushion, so water sits in the backing and along the adhesive line.

Read the explanation

To control the wet boundary, commercial floors behave differently from residential ones, and the tool follows the floor.

Common questions

Questions about commercial extraction

How much water can you actually remove in one night?

Through the final dry check, it depends on area, depth and floor covering more than on hours. As moisture readings guide drying, a truck mounted extractor moves water at hundreds of gallons per hour, and adding a second unit and crew roughly doubles the ground covered per shift.

Can you clear the whole floor in the window we can give you?

From the source check, tell us the hours and the square footage and we will answer honestly. From the source check, a single crew clears a predictable amount of floor per shift, and adding a truck mount and crew roughly doubles it.

How much does commercial water extraction cost?

To control the wet boundary, as national estimates, the extraction stage commonly runs $1 to $3 per square foot.

Can glue down commercial carpet be saved?

Through the final dry check, often, if we get to it quickly. As moisture readings guide drying, there is no cushion to squeeze, so water sits in the backing and along the adhesive line and needs slow weighted passes.

What about vinyl composition tile and sheet vinyl?

To control the wet boundary, water under resilient flooring cannot evaporate through it. As moisture readings guide drying, small areas sometimes dry from the edges and seams.

Is polished concrete damaged by standing water?

Through the final dry check, the slab itself is very tolerant. Through the final dry check, the issues are surface staining, water travelling along joints, and moisture that has moved into the concrete and will affect any future floor covering.

Can you certify our slab is dry enough for new flooring?

From the source check, we provide our readings as supporting evidence for your flooring installer. From the source check, their warranty testing is their own, using methods such as ASTM F2170 relative humidity probes or a calcium chloride test.
