SERVPRO Uses Cleaning as the First Line of Defense Against Carpet Damage by Moisture

Although water intrusions may happen when you least expect, you must be prepared to respond appropriately. Otherwise, the cost of restoring damaged items can be extreme. Carpets are uniquely vulnerable since they lie on the floor of your Fayetteville home, where most of the water collects.

Water damage in your Fayetteville home can manifest in different ways on your carpets, including staining, stretching, bad odor, or delamination. Although some of these issues are structural changes, cleaning can help alleviate them, especially when done by a professional team such as SERVPRO. 

Carpet cleaning involves processes such as:

• Bonnet cleaning
• Showcase
• Rotary jet extraction
• Hot water extraction

The primary reason for cleaning carpets is to remove the absorbed water and soils. Timely extraction reduces the duration moisture interferes with the adhesives holding the fibers and backing together, thus reducing the chances of permanent structural damage. Drying the carpets in time is also essential since it complements the cleaning effort by preventing odors, mold and also ensures the carpets regain their usual strength since wetness reduces carpet strength by up to 50%.

Effective carpet drying can be achieved in many ways, including:

• In-place drying without disengaging any section
• Flat drying after disengaging the carpet and removing the pad
• Floating the carpet by circulating dry air beneath it

Floating the carpet can be done with the pad in place or after removing the pad for disposal.  Our SERVPRO technicians usually evaluate the situation to determine the suitable approach for minimal chances of damage.
