Carpet Water Damage Restoration Services in Lucas
Carpet Water Extraction Services

Carpet Mold Prevention Treatment
After drying, the subfloor and carpet backing can be treated with an antimicrobial where they stayed wet for days.
Carpet Stain Removal Services
Some stains come from the pad or subfloor below, so cleaning is done after drying, once the source of the stain is dry.

Pad that soaked up water is cut out and replaced once the subfloor is dry. The carpet can often be dried and relaid over new pad.
Carpet Moisture Inspection Services
Moisture meters check the carpet, pad and subfloor across the room to find where water spread beyond the visible wet spot.

Carpet Water Damage Restoration FAQ
Does carpet water damage restoration remove odors?
Drying the pad and subfloor removes most odors. If a smell remains, the pad is usually replaced.
How soon should I call for carpet water extraction?
Right away. Carpet extracted within hours is far more likely to be saved than carpet left wet overnight.
Can a soaked carpet pad be saved after water damage?
Sometimes, if the water was clean and extraction was fast. Otherwise the pad is replaced, which costs little compared with carpet.
Should I try to dry carpet myself after a leak?
For a small spill, yes. For soaked carpet, home fans leave the pad wet underneath, which leads to odors and stains.
What happens during a carpet flood cleanup service?
Floodwater is extracted, carpet and pad are removed, debris is cleared and the subfloor is cleaned and dried.
