Frequently Asked Questions About Carpet Pad Water Extraction
Is carpet pad flood cleanup a DIY project?
Not usually. Floodwater pad must be removed and discarded, and the subfloor needs cleaning and proper drying.
Can a water damaged carpet pad be reused?
Only if the water was clean and the pad dried quickly. Otherwise it is replaced, which costs little compared with other repairs.
Can drying carpet and pad save my flooring?
Often the carpet can be saved when the water was clean and extraction was fast. The pad is usually replaced.
What is included in a carpet pad moisture inspection?
Readings through the carpet across the room, along walls and under furniture, plus checks of tack strips and subfloor.
What is subfloor drying after pad removal?
Drying the bare subfloor with air movers and dehumidifiers, which is much faster once the wet pad is gone.
