Belmont Carpet Cleanup Performed by SERVPRO

Home carpeting is one of the most vulnerable surfaces in a given home. While Cambridge homeowners can use consumer-grade vacuums with carpet cleaning and extraction features to mitigate damage, these solutions do not guarantee complete water removal. These tools can also unintentionally cause damage like delamination, where the backing separates from the fibers.

Water damage restoration from Belmont SERVPRO professionals can ensure that home flooring, baseboards, and more are returned to a pre-disaster condition. Carpet restoration includes cleaning, drying, re-seaming, and repairs to ensure that the home is clean, dry, and comfortable for occupants.

SERVPRO's Carpet Cleanup and Drying Process 

Carpet requires a certain degree of care and knowledge about residential carpeting construction. For example, a typical carpet features two backings: a primary one to hold the fibers and a second underneath. The two layers are often held together by a latex adhesive.

SERVPRO techs can combat wet carpets with a diverse array of processes:

• Making multiple passes over the wet carpet with a carpet wand attached to a hot water extractor. The extraction process requires extra care and attention to prevent damage to fibers, adhesives, or backing
• Carpet can be partially pulled up to inspect subflooring or to tent the carpet so that air movers and dehumidifiers can dry above and below the surface
• Deodorization methods include injection for spot cleanup, ultra-low volume fogging for larger-scale odor control, and application of EPA-registered biocides
  

Carpet and pad are typically salvageable after clean water damage like pipe leaks or appliance overflows. However, SERVPRO can implement repairs and reinstall the carpet as necessary.
