Salvaging Water Damaged Carpet in Vero Beach, FL

Here is a close up shot of delaminated carpet.

Carpet is a popular flooring option for both residential and commercial properties because of its affordability and comfort. However, when a water disaster strikes carpet could become irreparably damaged if extraction and drying solutions are not begun quickly. Examples of irreparable damage to carpet include:

Delamination - is a term for the layers of backing material separating from one another after prolonged water exposure.

Mold damage – When spotting or other signs indicate mold growth has started, this can render this material unsalvageable. We can discard and replace it as needed.

Deterioration – Bad seams and other signs of wear or degradation can also indicate that water damage has compromised the flooring.

One of the most efficient ways to salvage water-damaged carpets after extraction is to use a drying technique called “floating”. The carpets are protected by detaching the top layer from its tack strip, so stretching does not occur. We can then direct warm air beneath the fabric to help dry it.
