What's included
What our water extraction service includes
Every water extraction job we run in American Fork includes the core steps below. Repairs like replacement drywall, insulation or baseboards are scoped separately once the structure is dry and we know what needs to come out.
Emergency dispatch and inspection
A live dispatcher sends a crew to your American Fork address, usually within 60 to 90 minutes. On arrival we inspect with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera to map every wet zone before we start.
Truck-mounted water extraction
We pull standing water with truck-mounted extraction units and portable pumps, plus a Shop-Vac or RIDGID wet vac for tight spots. Carpet, hardwood, tile and concrete all get treated the same way: get the water out fast.
Antimicrobial treatment
After extraction we apply antimicrobial solution to affected surfaces to slow mold growth. It is a standard step on every job, not an upsell, and it matters most on sewage backups and crawl space work.
Drying equipment setup
We position air movers and dehumidifiers based on the size and layout of the wet area, using desiccant units in cool or tight spaces. A typical American Fork home gets 8 to 15 pieces of equipment.
Daily moisture monitoring
We return each day to log hygrometer and moisture meter readings and adjust equipment. You get a written drying report at the end that shows the structure reached a dry standard.
Insurance documentation
Photos, thermal imaging, moisture maps and equipment logs are compiled into a package your adjuster can process. We bill most major carriers directly so you are not fronting the cost.
Service overview
What a water extraction company American Fork UT does
A water extraction company American Fork UT is a licensed restoration contractor that removes standing water from a building, measures how far the moisture has traveled, and dries the structure back to its pre-loss condition. We start with a water extraction unit and truck-mounted vacuum to pull the bulk of the water, then switch to air movers and dehumidifiers to dry what soaked into drywall, insulation and subflooring. Every job gets a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera reading before we call it dry.
Most calls we run in American Fork start with a burst pipe, a slab leak, a failed water heater or a sewage backup after a hard freeze. Water in a crawl space or under a slab does not dry on its own, and mold growth can start in 24 to 48 hours. If you are searching for a water extraction company near me American Fork UT at 3 a.m., we answer the phone and dispatch. We are a local water extraction company American Fork, not a call center three states away.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
What to expect when we arrive
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Emergency call
You call (855) 927-6272 and describe what happened. We ask where the water is coming from, how deep it is, and whether the power is safe. Within minutes we dispatch a crew with extraction and drying equipment. Most American Fork addresses see us on site within 60 to 90 minutes.
Inspection and mapping
We walk the property with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera to find every wet zone, including hidden moisture behind baseboards and under subflooring. A boroscope camera checks wall cavities. You get a clear picture of the damage before we touch anything.
Water extraction
Truck-mounted water extraction units and portable pumps pull standing water from carpet, hardwood, tile and concrete. A Shop-Vac or RIDGID wet vac handles tight spots. This stage usually takes one to three hours depending on volume and how far the water spread.
Drying and monitoring
We position air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the structure, using desiccant units in tight or cool spaces. We return daily to log hygrometer and moisture meter readings. A typical American Fork dry-out runs three to five days.
Final walkthrough
Once readings match a dry standard, we remove equipment and walk the property with you. You get a drying report, photos and documentation for your insurance claim. If repairs are needed, we scope replacement drywall, insulation and baseboards.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Truck-mounted water extraction unit
Pulls hundreds of gallons of standing water per hour from carpet, hardwood and concrete. The fastest way to get bulk water out of a structure.
Dri-Eaz and Phoenix air movers
High-velocity fans that evaporate moisture from surfaces and push humid air toward the dehumidifier. We set 8 to 15 per typical American Fork home.
Dri-Eaz and Phoenix dehumidifiers
Pull moisture out of the air so wet materials can dry. Desiccant units handle cool crawl spaces where refrigerant units lose efficiency.
Moisture meter and hygrometer
Measure moisture content in materials and relative humidity in the air. We log readings daily to track drying progress and confirm a dry standard.
Thermal imaging camera
Reveals temperature differences that point to hidden moisture behind walls, under floors and around slab leaks. Finds water you cannot see.
Boroscope camera
Slips into wall cavities and under cabinets to check for moisture and mold without tearing out drywall. Confirms a cavity is dry before we close it.
HEPA vacuum and negative air machine
Captures mold spores and fine debris during remediation. The negative air machine keeps spores from spreading to clean areas of the home.
Use cases
When to call a water extraction company
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Sewage backup in a Downtown American Fork basement
A main line clog sent sewage back through a basement floor drain, covering about 300 square feet of concrete and soaking the bottom of stored boxes and a water heater. The smell was strong and the space was unusable. → We extracted the water, removed contaminated materials, applied antimicrobial solution and ran a HEPA vacuum over the concrete. Drying took three days and the basement was back in use the following week.
Slab leak under a Highland Ridge kitchen
A slab leak soaked the subfloor under the kitchen tile for weeks before the homeowner noticed a warped board and a spike in the water bill. A moisture meter read high across 120 square feet of floor. → We extracted what we could reach, dried the floor from above with air movers and a dehumidifier, and coordinated with a plumber to repair the line. The floor dried in five days and the tile was saved.
Problems we solve
Water problems we solve in American Fork

Burst pipe flooding a wall and floor
We shut off the water, extract from the floor, open the wall cavity, and dry it with air movers. A boroscope camera confirms the cavity is dry before we close it back up.
Sewage backup in a basement or laundry room
Our crew uses PPE, extracts the water, applies antimicrobial solution, and runs a HEPA vacuum over affected surfaces. We remove contaminated materials and document everything for your claim.
Slab leak soaking a floor from below
We use a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter to trace the moisture, extract what we can reach, and dry the floor from above. If the slab needs repair, we coordinate with a licensed plumber.
Crawl space moisture after heavy rain
We extract standing water, set a desiccant dehumidifier, and treat the space with antimicrobial solution. If mold is present, our crawl space mold removal team handles containment and HEPA vacuuming.
Pricing process
What water extraction costs in American Fork
$180 - $2,200 depending on scope
Volume of water
A few gallons from a supply line is a quick job. A flooded basement with 500 gallons takes longer, uses more equipment and costs more to dry.
Water category
Clean water from a supply line is category 1. Sewage backup is category 3 and requires PPE, antimicrobial treatment and disposal of contaminated materials, which adds cost.
Affected materials
Carpet and pad are easier to dry than hardwood or subflooring. If materials have to be removed and replaced, that is scoped separately from extraction and drying.
