What Causes Carpet Water Damage
Roof Leaks and Ceiling Drips
Roof leaks drip through ceilings onto carpet, often in bedrooms and living rooms.
Overflowing Bathtubs or Sinks
Overflowing tubs and sinks send water under walls into carpeted bedrooms and halls.
Window and Door Seal Failures
Rain coming through worn door and window seals soaks the carpet beneath them.
Plumbing Leaks and Burst Pipes
Leaking pipes and burst supply lines soak carpet in the room and any rooms next to it.
Both Residential and Commercial Carpet Water Damage Restoration
Residential Carpet Water Damage Restoration
In homes, wet carpet often follows a leak from a bathroom, laundry room or water heater closet. The carpet is extracted, the pad checked and the room dried so the carpet can stay.
Commercial Carpet Water Damage Restoration
In offices and stores, glued-down carpet and carpet tiles are common. Water is extracted, and tiles or glued sections that delaminated are noted for replacement.
Carpet Water Damage Restoration vs. DIY Carpet Drying
Rental carpet cleaners add water and do not reach the pad. For soaked carpet, they can make things worse. Call (949) 991-6937 for proper extraction instead.
