Complete Carpet Pad Water Extraction Solutions for Mebane
Carpet Pad Flood Water Cleanup
Floodwater carries dirt and contaminants, so pad it soaked is removed and discarded, and the carpet is usually removed too.
Carpet Pad Drying Services
When pad can stay, as with clean water caught early, air is blown under the lifted carpet to dry the pad and subfloor together.
Emergency Carpet Pad Water Extraction
Help is available any hour, because pad soaks up water quickly and holds it against the subfloor, where damage spreads out of sight.
Water Damaged Carpet Pad Replacement
New pad is installed after the subfloor is dry and the carpet has been dried or replaced, so no moisture is trapped underneath.
Carpet Pad Moisture Inspection
Moisture meters check the pad and subfloor through the carpet to find how far water spread, often well past the visible wet spot.
