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 Salem, OR call, not an upgrade.
We identify the contamination category before extraction to determine the correct safety protocol.
Saving original hardwood is possible with the right extraction method applied quickly.
Our Salem, OR extraction reports give your insurer verifiable data, not a vague summary.
Getting water out is only useful if it's done with the right classification and the right tools — here's our Salem process.
We deploy truck-mount pumps for anything beyond a small, contained spill.
Water is tested and classified as Category 1, 2, or 3 before extraction protocol is finalized.

You receive documented proof of extraction completion for your own records or an insurance claim.
