Is This a Water Extraction Job?
If any of these sound like your home in Arvada right now, the answer is yes.
- Water standing on the floor? Every hour it sits, it soaks deeper into pad and subfloor.
- Carpet squishes when you walk on it? The pad underneath is full of water.
- Water came up through a floor drain? Treat it as sewage until we test it. Do not touch it.
- Ceiling dripping into a room? We extract below and find the source above.

What Water Extraction Involves in Arvada
On site, we pump out standing water first. Then we pull water out of carpet, pad and hard floors. Our trucks carry truck-mounted extractors, portable extractors, submersible pumps and weighted tools that press water out of carpet.
- A moisture check to find where the water spread
- Pumping standing water
- Extraction from carpet and pad
- Moving furniture off wet floors
- Setting drying equipment once the water is out
Stopping the leak at the pipe is not part of extraction. Shut off the main water valve, and your plumber can fix the pipe. A shop vac leaves most of the water behind in the pad. Weighted extraction pulls it out.

Water Extraction Comes First for a Reason
What is water extraction? Water extraction is removing standing and soaked-in water from a home with pumps and extractors. It is the first step of water damage restoration in Arvada, before drying starts.
- Pumps for standing water
- Extractors for carpet and pad
- Moisture meters to find what is left
Drying cannot work while water is still standing. Extraction takes out the bulk, so the air movers and dehumidifiers can finish the job. Front Range thunderstorms can dump heavy rain fast and push water into window wells. And when that happens, the first visit is about getting most of the water out.
Good extraction can cut days off drying time. It often saves the carpet pad too.

Water Extraction for Basements in Ralston Valley and Olde Town Arvada
Basements collect the most water and hold it the longest. Homes with finished basements, and older homes with floor drains, see it most. The City of Arvada's floodplain plan puts most flood zone homes along Ralston Creek.
We pump the basement out first. Then we check under walls and flooring for trapped water. Water hides under laminate and vinyl plank floors, so we check under them, not just on top.

Saving Carpet and Pad After Water Extraction
Clean water caught early often lets us save the carpet. Sewage never does. Before we start, we tell you what we can save and what has to go.
Dry Colorado air helps carpet dry once the bulk of the water is out. Pad is cheap, and it soaks up the most water. So we often replace the pad and keep the carpet.
Our Water Extraction Process, Step by Step
- Call. A real person answers, any hour.
- We arrive within 60 minutes. We inspect and map the wet areas.
- Written estimate. It is free, before any work starts.
- Extract. We pump standing water and pull water from carpet and pad.
- Check. Moisture readings show what is still wet.
- Set drying. Air movers and dehumidifiers go where the readings point.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What Soaks Up Water In A Basement?
Water in a basement soaks up into carpet pad, drywall and the bottom plate of framed walls. That is why a pump alone is not enough.
How Fast Does Water Extraction Need To Happen?
Water extraction needs to happen within the first 24 to 48 hours, before mold can start. Sooner is always cheaper.
How Long Does Water Extraction Take?
Water extraction takes a few hours for most rooms. Drying takes several more days after that.
Can You Save Carpet After Water Extraction?
You can save carpet after water extraction when the water was clean and we caught it early. Carpet soaked with sewage has to be replaced.
