How a truck mount works
The van carries an engine-driven unit that heats water, pumps solution and powers a vacuum blower. Solution travels through a hose to the cleaning wand; dirty water returns through a separate vacuum hose to a waste tank in the van, so dirty water and exhaust stay outside your home.
Truck mount vs portable
| Factor | Truck-mounted | Portable |
|---|---|---|
| Heat | Consistent, high | Lower, varies |
| Suction | Strong | Lower |
| Drying time | Often shorter (better extraction) | Often longer |
| Noise inside home | Mostly outside | Inside |
| Access | Needs parking & hose reach | Works in high-rises |
What to know for your appointment
- Reserve parking close to the entry.
- Hoses run through a door that stays slightly open.
- Upper floors and long distances may affect setup — mention them when booking.
- Secure pets away from hoses.
Equipment is only half of it
Technique, product choice and rinsing matter as much as equipment. We pair industry-standard truck-mounted extraction with CRI-certified, residue-free products and IICRC-certified technicians. Learn about the IICRC and CRI Seal of Approval.
