Carpet Water Damage

 Water damage is never fun to have to deal with, but it is even less so when you have to deal with carpet water damage.  Carpet water removal is much more involved than simply wiping it up, and if not treated correctly can make for additional problems later on, such as remaining water under the carpet or carpet mold.

In the event of a larger scale problem such as carpet flood damage, you’ll need some heavier duty equipment for the job.  Carpet water extraction is typically accomplished utilizing pumps or wet-dry vacs to suck out the water. Opening the windows and using fans and blowers can help in removing the leftover moisture that may be present.

Ideally, the carpet should be taken up for total drying, and any wet or damaged padding should be thrown out.  The floors underneath should also be thoroughly dried and cleaned before any carpet is put back down.  This helps prevent the growth of mold.

Carpet mold removal can be difficult, as mold is fast growing and brings with it a host of potential health hazards, from the mild to the severe.  Carpet mold remediation, especially in advanced cases, is best handled by a professional.

Once your carpet is completely dried out, cleaned, and disinfected, the floors have been cleaned, and new padding laid down, the carpet can be reinstalled.
