5 Critical Actions Against Water Damage on Carpeted Areas

Carpets and padding are highly absorbent, which can complicate water damage restoration. However, with the right approach, it's easier to fix the problem. SERVPRO® teams focus on five key areas when dealing with water on carpeted floors.

• Removing the carpet and padding for any situation beyond minor leaks
• Drying and disinfecting the subfloor, especially if it is concrete or plywood
• Mold remediation through HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial treatment
• Carpet and pad replacement if the water is contaminated
• Inspecting and replacing damaged baseboards and tack strips

Critical Actions that Help Resolve Fire Damage

When your carpeted floor survives a fire incident, you may face a challenge in restoring preloss conditions due to the odor, charred portions, and deep soiling caused by the soot. Our SERVPRO crews focus on critical issues, such as assessing and removing unsalvageable carpets and padding, cleaning and deodorizing the subfloor, and addressing soot and smoke remediation. We utilize highly effective tools, including HEPA vacuums, industrial-grade air scrubbers, and thermal foggers, to effectively remove soot and other smoke-related materials from your carpets.
