Saving Your Carpet From Water Damage

2012-02-22T22:05:00.000-08:00

Wet carpet restoration can help to reverse the damage caused to the flooring of your home that has been caused by water. A wet carpet may seem like a minor problem initially, as your experience with minor spills of water may be that they simply evaporate over time or can easily be soaked with a paper towel. However, significant amounts of water can seep into the lining of a carpet, and pool below it as well, causing rot and mold growth. These problems can range from merely cosmetic to hazardous to your health depending on the nature of the water damage, not to mention the possibility that you may need to completely replace your carpeting if the damage is severe enough.
With the restoration process, the water can be safely extracted from a carpet at its deepest level, inhibiting the growth of mold or mildew and keeping your carpet from experiencing long term damage that can come with extended exposure to moisture. It is often a good idea to employ professional services in cases of large amounts of water present in your carpet, as they will have the tools necessary to do your wet carpet restoration right away.

In minutes rooms begin to fill up while unsuspecting household members away from home carry on their day at school and work. Only to return and find a residential disaster that can dishearten even the bravest of souls. While unpleasant to think about this scenario happens every day to thousands of American households.

Here are a few ideas to keep in mind. Water damage from a broken pipe is considered Category 1 clean water. This particular flooding is the least severe in terms of bacteria and pathogens and requires the safest methods for water removal.

Water Damage

2010-06-10T04:05:00.000-07:00

Water damage for the residential home owner can be unexpected and upsetting. Personal belongings affected must have immediate attention to ensure complete restoration is successful. Water damage can occur because of a broken water pipe, sewage back up, toilet overflow or any number of reasons. There are specific steps that can be taken to stop further damage during the first 24 hours which is crucial.
The first is to get a proper water extraction using either portable or truck mounted extraction units to eliminate all standing and visible waters from floors. Proper water removal by this method will shorten the overall needed drying time and lessen potential expense to the home owner. Of course a professional hired with proper equipment can perform this service with greater results than say someone using a shop vac and no prior experience. The problem with a shop vac is the time it takes to extract 5 gallons of water can be hours compared with portable or truck mounted units that can drawn up the same amount in minutes. This is crucial because that same amount of water can migrate to other dry places in the house not yet affected and become absorbed into additional materials running the risk of further damage.
Wet carpets if not properly treated will start to smell after the first 24 to 48 hours. Water borne mold spores start to germinate after the first 24 hours under the right conditions of humidity, temperature and an organic food source present. Drying out wet carpets first starts with a good extraction. Wet carpets without proper care will definitely start to smell after 48 hours. A reputable water damage company can prevent many heartaches down the road giving solid consultation and quick response to water soaked areas of a residence. The cost of water damage repairs and restoration can be minimized if the skilled work of a liscened technician is brought in immediately. Most flooding that occurs within a residence can be completely dry within 3 days if proper care and quick response time is given.
