Condo Water Extraction FAQ for Northfield Residents

Does condo leak repair happen during water extraction?

Is water damage restoration different from water extraction?

Extraction removes the water. Restoration covers drying, removal of damaged materials and repairs afterward.

What happens during water damaged floor removal?

Flooring and underlayment that trap water are lifted and bagged, and the subfloor is dried and checked.

Yes. Slow leaks can soak subfloors and ceilings below for weeks before anyone sees a sign.
