The Carpet Pad Water Extraction Process in South Milwaukee

Subfloor Drying After Pad Removal
Wood subfloors are checked for swelling and soft spots, and concrete slabs are dried until readings are normal.
Water Damaged Carpet Pad Replacement
New pad is installed after the subfloor is dry and the carpet has been dried or replaced, so no moisture is trapped underneath.
