What to do if you have water damaged carpet.

There are a few things you can do to try and minimise damage from wet carpet.  Find what has caused water to saturate your carpet and stop the source if you can.

Switch off taps and your water mains if required.  Switch off power in areas that are emerged in water  If you have low hanging curtains or blinds, lift them to prevent them from absorbing water which could damage them.  Where possible lift and/or move furniture and other valuables off wet carpet. If it is too hard to move the furniture try making a small ball from foil paper and place it under your furniture to try and stop it from touching the carpet and absorbing water– this is a short-term solution until the professionals arrive.  Increase ventilation in rooms you have flooded carpet; simply open windows and doors, this will help stop moisture from building up and causing secondary issues of mould.  You can use towels and a mop to try to remove some of the excess water, but this is not going to be the solution to extract water from your carpet. Professionals like Capital Facility Services Water Damage Restoration Technicians will need to use special machines to extract excess water from your carpet, underlay and subfloor before any drying program can commence.  If you are from anywhere in Melbourne call Capital Facility Services to extract excess water and to implement an appropriate wet carpet drying program. Our professional Water Damage Restoration Technicians will access and create a wet carpet drying program specific to your situation and will address any issues that they identify, such as mould growth and removal of wet carpet and wet underlay that is not salvageable.
