Carpet Water Extraction Common Questions Answered

How long does the carpet water damage repair process take?

Extraction takes hours, drying often takes a few days and relaying or replacing carpet follows after.

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.

Can carpet pad water removal save the carpet?

Often yes. Replacing soaked pad lets the subfloor dry and keeps odors from coming back, while the carpet is dried and relaid.

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.

When is water damaged carpet removal necessary?

When the water was dirty, the carpet delaminated or it stayed wet long enough to smell or stain badly.
