Frequently Asked Questions About Carpet Water Extraction
How long does the carpet water damage repair process take?
Extraction takes hours, drying often takes a few days and relaying or replacing carpet follows after.
Are antimicrobials used after soaked carpet cleanup?
They can be applied to the subfloor and backing where carpet stayed wet for days, after drying.
Can carpet pad water removal save the carpet?
Often yes. Replacing soaked pad lets the subfloor dry and keeps odors from coming back, while the carpet is dried and relaid.
Why is the carpet pad a focus during water removal?
The pad holds most of the water and sits against the subfloor, so it causes most lasting damage if left wet.
How is progress monitored during carpet drying?
Moisture readings are taken daily on the carpet, pad and subfloor until they match dry areas.
