Your Carpet Water Extraction Questions Answered

Are antimicrobials used after soaked carpet cleanup?

They can be applied to the subfloor and backing where carpet stayed wet for days, after drying.

Is carpet drying always needed after extraction?

Yes. Extraction removes most of the water, but drying equipment is needed to remove what is left in the pad and subfloor.

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.

How is progress monitored during carpet drying?

Moisture readings are taken daily on the carpet, pad and subfloor until they match dry areas.

What decides if carpet can be saved after water damage?

The type of water, how long it was wet, how quickly it was extracted and whether the backing held up.
