Waterclaw
Water Claw tools work the layer a wand cannot reach. The head seals against the carpet and operator weight compresses the assembly, so vacuum pulls water out of the underlay rather than skimming the pile.
On a water loss that is the difference between drying a floor and replacing it — and every litre lifted mechanically is dehumidifier runtime the insurer does not pay for.
The range covers the Water Claw Medium and Large flood extraction tools, the Medium Deluxe with injection, the Flash Spotter and the Spot Lifter, plus the orange vacuum relief gasket for Medium and Large heads.
How to choose
Size to the vacuum, not the room. The Large moves more water per pass and needs the airflow to clear it. On an under-powered portable the Medium finishes sooner because it actually recovers what it lifts.
Injection addresses contaminated water. The Medium Deluxe puts clean solution into the assembly and lifts it back out. On Category 2 and 3 losses that flush is the method, not an upgrade.
The spotters are for furniture and stairs. The Flash Spotter and Spot Lifter work small areas and vertical surfaces where a full head cannot seal.
The relief gasket is a consumable and it matters. A perished vacuum relief gasket breaks the seal that makes the tool work, and it presents as a machine losing lift. Check it before condemning anything upstream.
Extract before you dry. A drying plan started before extraction is finished runs long and does not defend well on a file.
