Carpet/Flood Repair Work
A flood can be a disaster for many homeowners/families/businesses and can ruin your carpets and even cause irreparable damage to your property. Floodwater, water damage or sewer backups can destroy a home/building’s foundations, create a toxic biohazard and impact a properties resale value for many years.
Carpets can be one of the most challenging parts of a flooded home to clean. Carpeting material can act like a sponge during a flood, holding liquids and dissolved solids for weeks. This can create a health hazard, so it’s important to use safe practices during cleaning.
With the use of equipment such as water extractors, dehumidifiers, blower fans and carpet steam cleaners around the flooded areas (home, office etc.), allows for rapid drying. As the carpet is drying, the carpet is treated with an anti-bacterial chemical and cleaned using a professional strength carpet steam cleaner. This will help destroy any microbes/bacteria in the carpet from floodwater and will help eliminate mould and odors.
The carpet cleaning solution uses anti-microbial to offer odor protection. A carpet can possibly need multiple cleanings before it’s safe to walk on barefoot.
After cleaning a flood-damaged carpet, it’s essential to check for mildew and mold periodically. It’s a good idea to leave a dehumidifier running for days/weeks after a flood, to help keep residual moisture in a home low.
