After a flood, many home and property owners may wonder if their carpet and pad can be saved as carpeting can be an expensive investment. Saving it is more cost-effective than replacing it but successful wet carpet cleaning depends on many things.
Here’s the Emergency Flood Restoration Sydney guide to what to do if your carpet is damaged by water: Safety first – make sure that all electrical devices are unplugged and out of the way of the water Move any items of furniture away from the water and damage affected areas
Try to remove as much of the water from the carpet as you possibly can – if your power is switched off or unsafe, buckets, mops and towels are as good as anything else Lift carpets off the floor and you may need to remove any underlay Walls affected by water damage may also need to be treated, as they can also harbour mould if they are damp
Once you are sure all of the water has been removed, use a professional-grade disinfectant and deodorising treatment to remove any lingering smells and to make sure your carpet is clear of microbes. Whilst it is critical to begin removing water quickly, it’s also a good idea to call professional water extraction cleaner in as soon as possible – they can advise you better and should have industrial equipment that can perform a more thorough job and dry your carpet out more thoroughly and more quickly.
