Flood Damage Restoration Tips For Carpet and Rugs


Water or flood damage is known as the main reason for mold and mildew development. Mold and mildew will start to develop within 24 to 48 hours of any water exposure in the house. This as well includes sewage back-up, leaks, overflows and more. Mold and mildew would continue to grow till the source of the moisture are addressed.

Mold is a true health threat for pregnant women, infants, children, and seniors. Looking at the amount of damage that has occurred, the restoration could involve dehumidifying and dry an entire structure. We suggest that this type of restoration should only be done by a certified Water or Flood Damage Restoration agency.

In case the flooding is widespread, and the Water or Flood Damage Restoration can't get to you in time, contact a carpet cleaning company. They can be able to extract some water.

When you have area and oriental rugs, we advise that only a certified professional with a specialized rug cleaning experience handle this situation.

Do not make an effort to clean porous materials including upholstered furniture, clothing and more if it has been wet for more than 48 hours.

If objects have already been wet for under 48 hours, call up a professional cleaning company to clean and disinfected.

Here are some important steps to take:

The damage must be contained within hours to prevent carpet and pad replacement.

Have answers to questions ready
