Carpet Pad Water Extraction Methods Used in Mayfield
Wet Carpet Pad Removal Services
Pad that got wet with dirty water, or stayed wet for days, is always removed. The carpet above may still be saved if the water was clean.
Carpet Pad Drying Services
When pad can stay, as with clean water caught early, air is blown under the lifted carpet to dry the pad and subfloor together.
Subfloor Drying After Pad Removal
With the pad removed, air movers and dehumidifiers dry the bare subfloor, which dries much faster than it would under wet pad.
Carpet Pad Moisture Inspection
Moisture meters check the pad and subfloor through the carpet to find how far water spread, often well past the visible wet spot.
Carpet Pad Mold Prevention Treatment
Tack strips and subfloor edges along walls are checked closely, since they often stay wet the longest.
