Best Ideas of Carpet Cleaning an Affected Carpet Damaged by Water

As the materials in your home begin to absorb excess moisture, they begin to swell, warp, or crumble, as well as become potential harbors for mold and mildew growth. Carpet is one of the major item to consider.One of the most important factors in determining whether a carpet damaged by water can be restored is the type of water. Water sources such as a leaking pipe are considered sanitary because they are not likely to contain bacteria or other harmful contaminants. If flooding has been caused by a sanitary source, water damaged carpet can often be restored. Other sources of water such as dishwasher or toilet overflows may be considered unsanitary, meaning that the potential for hazards to health is too great and that carpet should be replaced. Carpet damaged by black water, which can come from a sewage backup or flood, almost always needs to be replaced because of the likelihood of contamination

For smaller areas of damage or flooding caused by sanitary sources, the source of water leakage should be addressed immediately and excess water removed from the carpet. Then a disinfectant solution, such as bleach and water, should be applied to prevent mold growth or other contamination of the carpet. Next, the carpet can be removed from the tack strips and dried using a fan underneath it. Sometimes the baseboards can be removed and holes drilled into the drywall near the floor to help with ventilation. Running a dehumidifier in the room can also help to dry the water damaged carpet faster.

Minor water accumulation or pooling may not appear to be a very serious problem, but small puddles that seem easily contained can easily seep into floorboards, trim, drywall, and other porous material.

Often, the damage inflicted on your home from minor leaks or drips accrues slowly over days, weeks or more. By the time water damage is readily apparent it can be complicated and expensive to repair.There's no reason to let improperly cleaning water damaged carpet create bigger problems for you in the future,
