Your Carpet Water Extraction Questions Answered
How is progress monitored during carpet drying?
Moisture readings are taken daily on the carpet, pad and subfloor until they match dry areas.
Why is the carpet pad a focus during water removal?
The pad holds most of the water and sits against the subfloor, so it causes most lasting damage if left wet.
Can carpet pad water removal save the carpet?
Often yes. Replacing soaked pad lets the subfloor dry and keeps odors from coming back, while the carpet is dried and relaid.
What is the difference between carpet extraction and restoration?
Extraction removes the water from carpet and pad. Restoration covers drying, pad replacement, relaying and cleaning afterward.
What is carpet water extraction?
Removing water from wet carpet and pad with pumps and weighted extraction tools, then drying the carpet and subfloor beneath.
