Carpet that sits wet for a long time will become damaged beyond repair. The key to saving carpet damaged by water is getting it dry quickly!

If you have suffered water damage in your home, you most likely are faced with cleaning up wet, soggy carpet.

In these situations, we are often asked if the carpet could be saved.  And the answer is that, more times that not, we can save the carpet but it needs to be dried quickly.

The longer carpet sits wet, the higher the chance is that is will be damaged beyond repair or, even worse, mold will start growing.

Our certified water restoration technicians have speciality equipment to safely extract the water from the carpet and then remove any remaining moisture from it.

There are instances when the carpet cannot be saved. This is usually when the source of the water has come from an outside source, such as flooding or a sewer back up.  In these cases, more times than not, it is better to remove the carpet and padding so you don't risk any contamination from the bacteria that is in that type of water.
