Signs to look for
When to call us for commercial extraction
Room by room, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
Standing water is deeper than about an inch
Room by room, 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
After you describe the problem, that usually means water is being pushed rather than removed.
The floor is glue down carpet or carpet tile
Room by room, 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
After you describe the problem, water under resilient flooring cannot evaporate through it. For a practical next step, 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
To help your home recover, water below panels reaches cabling and outlets and is invisible from above.
What happens
How we handle commercial extraction
Our home recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Floorplate room-by-room review and an extraction grid
Room by room, 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
To help your home recover, a truck mounted extractor moves water by the hundreds of gallons per hour.
Portable extraction for upper floors and long hose runs
For a practical next step, 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
Room by room, pumps handle bulk volume far faster than any extraction tool.
Weighted tool passes on carpet, with the glue down decision made honestly
For a practical next step, weight closes the vacuum seal, so the tool is ridden slowly.
Hard surface and seam extraction on resilient and concrete floors
For a practical next step, sealed heads work vinyl composition tile, sheet vinyl and sealed concrete. To help your home recover, seams, expansion joints and wall lines get individual detail passes.

Understanding the cost
What can affect the price
Room by room, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. Room by room, these examples show what may change the estimate.
| Common situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction stage only on a commercial floorplate, clean water | For a practical next step, national estimate for mechanical extraction only. For a practical next step, 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 feet | After you describe the problem, 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 level | For a practical next step, 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 passes | To help your home recover, national estimate. To help your home recover, 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 extraction | To help your home recover, national estimate. For a practical next step, 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 shift | To help your home recover, national estimate. Room by room, 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 visit | For a practical next step, national estimate for the after hours call out, before any shift labor premium. | $100 to $400 |
Total square footage extracted
After you describe the problem, extraction is fundamentally an area job.Floor covering type
For a practical next step, sealed concrete extracts fastest.Depth of standing water
After you describe the problem, deep water needs pumping before tools are useful, which adds a stage.Crew size needed to fit the window
After you describe the problem, clearing a floor in one overnight shift takes more crew than clearing it in two days.After hours and shift premiums
To help your home recover, 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
For a practical next step, upper floors need portable units, staging space and a reserved freight elevator.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
After you describe the problem, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Every hour, more water moves somewhere a tool cannot reach
Room by room, 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
To help your home recover, prolonged wetting softens the adhesive under glue down carpet and resilient tile.
Miss the window and you extract during trading hours
Room by room, 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
To help your home recover, below panel water sits directly against connections and conduit.
Helpful service information
What to know about commercial extraction
To help your home recover, start with the short explanation. After you describe the problem, open a card if you want a little more detail.
What is happening inside the property
To help your home recover, 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
After you describe the problem, the volume math is why commercial extraction is its own trade. To help your home recover, 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
Room by room, 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
To help your home recover, access is the constraint that decides how much crew is useful. Room by room, 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
Room by room, glue down carpet and carpet tile have no cushion, so water sits in the backing and along the adhesive line.
Read the explanation
After you describe the problem, 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?
For a practical next step, it depends on area, depth and floor covering more than on hours. Room by room, 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?
To help your home recover, tell us the hours and the square footage and we will answer honestly.
How much does commercial water extraction cost?
After you describe the problem, as national estimates, the extraction stage commonly runs $1 to $3 per square foot.
Can glue down commercial carpet be saved?
For a practical next step, often, if we get to it quickly. Room by room, 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?
After you describe the problem, water under resilient flooring cannot evaporate through it. Room by room, small areas sometimes dry from the edges and seams.
Is polished concrete damaged by standing water?
For a practical next step, the slab itself is very tolerant. For a practical next step, 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?
To help your home recover, we provide our readings as supporting evidence for your flooring installer. To help your home recover, their warranty testing is their own, using methods such as ASTM F2170 relative humidity probes or a calcium chloride test.
