Do Wet Carpets Dry by Themselves in a Slidell Property?

Wet Carpets Often Require Professional Water Cleanup Services in Slidell to Avoid Further Damage

Light to moderate water intrusion often affects flooring and subfloors more than walls or ceilings. Even small amounts of moisture, such as from a leaking washing machine, can quickly soak into the lower fibers of a fitted carpet. These carpets, commonly found in residential properties, can become up to 50% weaker when wet. At the same time, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause delamination- resulting in the carpet fibers coming away from their backing. It is essential to call upon the assistance of professionals when facing even light to moderate water intrusion in your home. SERVPRO can help residents with:

• Water mitigation
• Water remediation
• Carpet cleaning

Conducting water cleanup in Slidell involves effective planning and execution. Technicians must understand how to prevent microbes- viruses, bacteria, and mold- in water from reproducing and creating a more complex restoration issue. Our technicians also need to reduce the potential for damages when facing water intrusion. One effective measure for mitigating these damages is thoroughly drying the wet carpet.

A water extractor combines heating elements with vacuum power and can dry carpets far more efficiently than air movement or natural drying processes. Getting rid of water can often significantly reduce the risk of secondary damages.

• We have a tiered cleaning system for carpets. The top-tier showcase carpet cleaning uses rotary cleaning, pre-conditioning, and carpet shampoo.
• Antimicrobial chemicals can be sprayed directly onto wet carpets to prevent microbes from building up through their natural growth stages.
• Pre-conditioning carpets using proprietary products can help return them to a pre-incident condition.

Light to moderate water intrusion can cause permanent damage to your flooring. Contact SERVPRO of Slidell for water cleanup at (985) 649-1516.
