SERVPRO Technicians Have Multiple Tools for Carpet Water Removal in Mount Vernon Residences

Carpeting can be difficult for restorers to dry and clean after water damages like burst pipes or ceiling leaks. Water removal tools and extraction devices can help to lift trapped moisture in these surfaces before irreparable harm occurs and causes a greater expense to the customer.

Thorough Inspections of the Flooring

Before water removal in Mount Vernon homes can begin, the condition of the flooring materials affected must be established through thorough inspections. Our production manager can uninstall carpets from their tack strip at the baseboards to inspect that delamination and degradation have not set in for the material. These conditions would require the removal and replacement of the moist carpets.

Tools for Extraction of Trapped Water

Carpeting is notorious for holding water and being a difficult flooring material for extraction and restoration. Because of its fibers and porous composition, water can become easily trapped through every layer of a carpeted floor, requiring multiple extraction devices to remove. As leading water restoration technicians, our SERVPRO team arrive with tools to help like:

• Weighted extractors
• Carpet wands
• Wet vacuums
• Truck-mount extractors

Because carpeting can be such a magnet for water and flooding damage, it is one of the initial target points for our mitigation strategies. Our SERVPRO of Skagit County team is ready to help 24/7 at (360) 873-8744.
