Restoring Water Damage To Carpets

3/23/2022 (Permalink)

Carpeted areas of your Trail Creek home are already challenging to keep clean and in top form due to the high traffic that they receive and that fibers often act as a magnet for dirt, debris, and sediment. Even with these challenges in flooring, carpets are still among the top choices for new construction. When water loss incidents occur, however, this area of your property can prove uniquely prone to saturation and damages. To restore and protect this investment, you should trust in the experience and equipment available to our trained restoration technicians.

Water damage in Trail Creek can spread quickly throughout your property, and preventing widespread tear out and reconstruction begins with reaching out to trained technicians like ours immediately. While many homeowners believe that they can take care of drying out damages on their own, failing to accomplish this to the level required leaves your home vulnerable to secondary effects like mold growth, not to mention causes irreparable damage to materials like carpeting.

Carpeting can become saturated quickly, soaking not only the fibers in the surface material but also subflooring beneath the mat. Our team must respond to these situations quickly to preserve your carpets, and that begins with efficient extraction. Our team brings in our remote-controlled ROVER weighted extraction equipment which forces moisture to the surface of the carpeting for collection and removal by a high powered vacuum fixed to the base of the machine.

Drying out your carpeting can happen in several ways, but often the most effective is floating the material. This process has our SERVPRO team pulling up the carpet from the edges of the room and starting up our air mover drying equipment underneath the mat backing. This approach helps to force moisture out of the carpets but also can work to dry out exposed subflooring material as well in the process.

Water loss incidents might not always be devastating to your property with the right response and trained tactics for mitigation and restoration. Our SERVPRO of La Porte County emergency team is standing by 24/7 by calling (219) 879-1883.
