Signs to look for
When to call us for commercial extraction
With damage contained, 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
With damage contained, 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
As our controlled response continues, that usually means water is being pushed rather than removed.
The floor is glue down carpet or carpet tile
With damage contained, 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
As our controlled response continues, water under resilient flooring cannot evaporate through it. Before materials deteriorate further, 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 protect the property, water below panels reaches cabling and outlets and is invisible from above.
What happens
How we handle commercial extraction
Our property-protection team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Floorplate property check and an extraction grid
With damage contained, 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 protect the property, a truck mounted extractor moves water by the hundreds of gallons per hour.
Portable extraction for upper floors and long hose runs
Before materials deteriorate further, 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
With damage contained, pumps handle bulk volume far faster than any extraction tool.
Weighted tool passes on carpet, with the glue down decision made honestly
Before materials deteriorate further, weight closes the vacuum seal, so the tool is ridden slowly.
Hard surface and seam extraction on resilient and concrete floors
Before materials deteriorate further, sealed heads work vinyl composition tile, sheet vinyl and sealed concrete. To protect the property, seams, expansion joints and wall lines get individual detail passes.

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