Teaneck Homes Require Fast Water Restoration for Carpeting

SERVPRO can mitigate the water damage to your Teaneck home's carpeting and also clean them "Like it never even happened."

Carpet Water Restoration Must Happen Quickly

Many areas of your home or business might suffer the effects of migrating water after a disaster. Few are as sensitive to absorption and mold growth as carpeting, so this must be a mitigation and restoration objective for responding technicians when we arrive.

Extracting Water from a Carpet

Water restoration in Teaneck homes often begins with the saturation and the standing water surrounding the carpeted floors. SERVPRO can only do something to preserve flooring by first addressing pooling on the surface. Water cleanup gets achieved by combining extraction devices from our inventory, beginning with submersible pumps and wet vacuums. Still, it also requires more specialized units like roving weighted extractors or carpet wands in later stages.

Effective Drying with Floating

Floating is one of the standard practices to restore installed carpet materials when recovery professionals determine they can be salvaged. The objective is to remove carpeting on one side from the tacking strip and choose a couple of points on the opposite wall to pull up for relief to prevent carpet stretching. Centrifugal air movers are placed between the carpet and padding layer to dry both of these materials simultaneously; the infusion of this air causes the upper carpet layer to float.

The Equipment for Carpet Cleaning

Cleaning the carpet is only necessary when SERVPRO can sufficiently dry these elements without growing microbial colonies and spreading mold organisms. Prolonged moisture exposure can often lead to mold and mildew, so this must be carefully calculated before time is wasted cleaning the carpet. If it is possible to preserve this installed element, there are multiple premier machines and devices from our inventory capable of helping:

• Bonnet Cleaning
• Hot Water Extraction
• Deluxe Conditioning
