Clean water vs dirty water (plain language)

Supply-line and many appliance leaks often involve relatively clean water. Contaminated water (sewage, outdoor flood intrusion, unknown sources) changes handling and may need other specialists. We assess what we find and stay in specialty floor extraction scope.

Extraction vs dry-out

Extraction removes free water; drying finishes recovery. Read extraction vs dry-out. City landings: Jacksonville water · Gainesville water.
