Set rugs, boxes and chair legs on foil or blocks so they stop drinking water.
How water extraction is handled in Holliston
Trace the water first
A tech walks the wet rooms with a thermal camera and moisture meter so no cavity under a wall base is missed.
Remove the bulk water
The extraction crew runs pumps and the truck mount, sending water outside rather than pushing it into the next room.
Pass it to drying
The drying team sets fans and dehumidifiers to each room's load and writes readings in the log every visit.

Extract and set the drying
The extraction crew pulls standing water, then sets air movers and LGR dehumidifiers to the evaporation load of each room.

Where Holliston water collects
Town officials trace many local floods to undersized or inoperable culverts and drain pipes. Beaver dams have backed up the Fisher Street and Fiske Street culverts, putting water over Fisher Street and into homes on Bullard Street and Pilgrim Street. A low stretch of Washington Street floods routinely in big storms, and runoff from New Englander Industrial Park spills onto Route 126 near Concord Street.
- Culvert backups that push water into yards and cellars
- Storm runoff on low sections of Washington Street
- Burst pipes and tank failures indoors
- Washer and dishwasher overflows on finished floors
Why extraction goes first
Fans and dehumidifiers dry by evaporation, which is slow. Suction lifts liquid water out in a single pass, so the extraction crew works before the drying team sets any equipment. Every inch the water travels under a baseboard adds to the drying that follows, and a flooded floor can wick into the bottom of a wall within hours.
Pumps, the truck mount and what stays behind
A truck-mounted unit runs on its own engine and sends recovered water to a tank outside, pulling harder than a portable machine. Deep water goes through a pump first. Pad soaked by gray or black water is cut out rather than extracted, and the drying team maps moisture again before setting up structural drying equipment. When the water came off a brook or a street, the storm and flood cleanup steps apply as well.

Water Extraction questions in Holliston
Water still moving?
The Holliston water damage pros are on call day and night for extraction and drying.
(888) 629-3140Start the Holliston dry-outCan a wet vac replace professional extraction?
A shop vacuum clears a puddle but leaves water in pad, seams and wall bases. Truck-mounted suction pulls far more, which matters because whatever stays behind has to be evaporated, and that takes longer and costs more.
What if the water came from a brook or a culvert backup?
Water that crossed the ground outside is treated as Category 3. The crew extracts under containment, wears protective gear and removes porous materials such as pad and lower drywall instead of trying to dry them.
Does extraction alone dry the house?
No. Extraction removes the liquid water, but framing, subfloor and drywall still hold moisture. The drying team then sets air movers and dehumidifiers and logs readings until the materials read dry.
Should the carpet come up before the crew arrives?
It is better to leave it. The crew decides on site whether carpet can be extracted in place and the pad replaced, or whether the whole floor covering is contaminated and has to come out.
Can extraction happen at night or on a holiday?
Yes. Dispatch runs at every hour, and active water is treated as urgent in Holliston because it keeps moving into drywall and subfloor while it waits.
How is extraction priced?
Cost follows the water category, how many square feet are wet, what the water soaked into and how long it sat. A single room caught early sits at the low end, while sewage or flood water sits at the top.
