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 Brooks, ME call, not an upgrade.
Every Water Extraction job in Brooks, ME starts with water testing to classify it as clean, gray, or blackwater.

Every Water Extraction job in Brooks, ME comes with moisture readings logged before, during, and after extraction.
Below is the actual technical scope behind a Water Extraction job in Brooks, ME.
We deploy truck-mount pumps for anything beyond a small, contained spill.
Classification testing happens on-site before any extraction equipment starts running.
Carpet and pad get separately assessed — pad usually can't be saved, but carpet often can with fast, thorough extraction.
This specialty method can save original hardwood that would otherwise require full tear-out.
We check subfloor moisture at multiple points, not just where the visible water pooled.
Verification reports give a data-backed answer to whether extraction actually solved the problem.
A quick call helps us determine truck-mount versus portable equipment needs before we arrive.
Equipment is pre-loaded based on dispatch notes, so there's no delay on arrival.
We test and classify the water, then provide a written quote before extraction begins.
Extraction continues until documented moisture readings confirm the job is complete.
