Below is the actual technical scope behind a Water Extraction job in Joliet, IL.

Classification testing happens on-site before any extraction equipment starts running.

A technician heads out immediately with truck-mount or portable units as needed.
We test and classify the water, then provide a written quote before extraction begins.
We don't sign off until logged readings hit the target, not just until it looks dry.
