With so many variables, not to mention when luck abandons you, the odds of experiencing water flooding in your home are highly likely. Burst pipes, malfunctioning appliances, natural causes, and so much more could cause water in large volumes to blanket your carpeting. Excessive water can damage carpet in a number of ways and if not properly restored, the carpets can harbor mold and mildew as well expedite deterioration. It is crucial that you request water damage restoration as quickly as possible when your carpets have been flooded water. With that in mind, we at Steam Magic Carpet Cleaning would like to take the opportunity to discuss the water damage restoration service, generally speaking.
Water Extraction
The first priority is to remove as much water as possible. A fairly standard process among experts to remove the water, especially in severe cases, is to remove the furniture and clutter from the space and identify the extent of the problem. Because organic materials will facilitate the growth of mold and other microbes, the damage to the carpeting, padding, baseboards, casing, drywall, and insulation is often assessed. Before the inspection of these materials, the water extraction is priority and if rapidly performed, many of these materials can be saved.
Drying Carpets
With the use of professional grade pumps, the standing liquid is thoroughly removed. Setting up a strategic pattern of industrial strength air mover fans and dehumidifiers soon follows to pull out the moisture that has been absorbed. Wicking moisture off of the saturated materials, the fans circulate air around the wet items, and the dehumidifier draws moisture out of the air and contains it for efficient disposal. Professionals monitor the progress using moisture meters during the drying process. The technicians can keep tabs on the rate the carpet and other affected areas are drying by using the moisture meter that uses probes to detect the level of moisture in a specific location. Depending on the severity of the flood and how quickly you sought professional services will determine how long it the drying process takes; on average it can take several days to complete.
Carpet Care
If the professionals managed to save the carpets and after the structure have dried and any replacements were conducted, the carpets need to be treated, even if they were removed to allow the subfloor to dry. When it comes to flooding and carpets, especially so if it was a sewer problem, the carpets carry a high risk of absorbing bacteria and odors. A comprehensive carpet cleaning is performed using specially formulated detergent to destroy microbes for complete sanitation and to neutralize any attached odors.
