Carpet Water Damage Restoration Workflow in Melbourne, IA
Carpet Water Extraction Services
Carpet water extraction pulls water from the carpet, backing and pad at once, using weighted tools that press down as they vacuum.
Carpet Flood Cleanup Services
Carpet soaked by outside flooding is extracted, cut into strips and removed, since floodwater carries dirt and contaminants into the fibers.
Wet Carpet Water Extraction
Wet carpet is extracted with truck-mounted or portable units, pulling water from the fibers, backing and pad in repeated slow passes.
Water Damaged Carpet Pad Replacement
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.
