If you're experiencing wet carpeting due to a flood or plumbing emergency, your first priority is to dry out wet carpet and getting your sub-flooring as dry as possible to prevent any further damage. In some cases, the water may have already saturated all the way through to the padding. Calling a professional from ZEROREZ® is the best chance that you have for saving your carpet or flooring. Here are some of the best ways to dry out your carpet and restore your floors back to their original condition.
Air Purifier
An air purifier uses a specialized air filtration system to trap unwanted particles from the air. When you have a flood or experience another form of water damage, bacteria can quickly develop. This can lead to mildew and mold damage. An air purifier gets rid of dust, dirt, and germs that can contribute to discoloration and deterioration of your carpet fabric. Running an air purifier while your floor is drying out can help salvage saturated materials and improve the air quality in your home.
Air Circulation
When your carpeting is wet and saturated, it's important that the air within the room stays circulated. Air that stays in circulation helps to reduce the chances of odor-causing bacteria to form. Circulating the air can be done with fans and keeping windows open. Pulling the carpeting back to expose the underlying padding and sub-flooring can help clean, oxygenated air to reach within the underlying fibers. ZEROREZ® specializes in water damage restoration. Commercial grade turbine fans target both small and large areas in your home. This is just one step in getting your home aired out and preventing further damage to your carpet.
Water Extraction
It's important that all of the dirty water is extracted and removed from your carpet, padding and subflooring. This will increase the likelihood that your carpet will develop mold growth. The pros at ZEROREZ® will come in and use Zr Clean™️ to attack underlying harmful substances from the dirty water. The extraction cleaning machine and its powerful wand system will remove all of the dirty water and leave the area looking and smelling fresh. Tackling the underlying water and stains is an important step in the overall prevention of mold and mildew.
When you dry out wet carpet, you are one step closer to saving it rather than having to spend hundreds on replacing it. Don't throw away your carpets due to a water disaster. Call the pros at ZEROREZ® to come out and save your carpeting and bring you peace of mind.
