Mahopac Water Cleanup Includes Carpeting

Carpeting is a standard installation in many area homes. Because of this, it makes it one of the materials that our SERVPRO professionals must prepare to restore and dry after disasters. These flooring elements can become quickly overwhelmed by migrating water, demanding fast action to preserve this installation if possible. 

Removing Water from Carpeting

Water cleanup in Mahopac homes often means materials far beyond the flooring, but given that this is among the heaviest impacted by standing water, it must be a priority. The first step to protect carpeting after water damage exposure is removing water standing beyond the fibers, or what has become trapped in the outermost layer and padding underneath it. We have multiple extractors, including specialty tools like carpet wands and weighted extraction devices to help. 

What Does Floating a Carpet Mean?

Floating the carpet is a process in which the perimeter of the carpeting is removed from tacking strips, and low-profile air movers are positioned between the rug and the padding to help promote the drying of both layers. This can be an efficient approach if the carpet has been deemed salvageable by the production management.

Carpet Cleaning Solutions

After much of the drying for the house is complete, deep cleaning of the carpeting will be necessary. It is likely that water damage has discolored, stained, or soiled the flooring. We have effective carpet cleaning strategies to follow after other restoration processes to improve the appearance and feel of this floor covering. Options can include:

• Bonnet Cleaning
• Hot Water Extraction
• Deluxe Conditioning

Restoring and recovering your home after water damage can include drying and cleaning the carpeted floors in affected rooms. With the premier equipment of our experienced Carpet Cleaning Technicians (CCT), many rely on SERVPRO of Putnam County to help after disasters. Give us a call at (845) 228-1090.
