We know the steps to get your Newburgh home back from water damage.

The Best Way to Save Your Carpets After Water Damage is to Call a Professional Water Restoration Service

Most of our homes will have a water leak at some point in time. A water heater may break, or the kitchen sink may spring a leak. Regardless of its source, water seeping into your carpet and walls is of concern. The longer that water rests on your belongings, the larger its impact is. Calling a professional service to remove the excess humidity is key to mitigating your loss.

How can I dry carpets and rugs?

At SERVPRO, we know that not all surfaces are equal. In rugs and carpets, we take into account the weave, color, finish, installation technique, and many other factors that may influence the water extraction process. If we also need to clean them, we test cleaning products in an inconspicuous spot before making a widespread application. Some of the equipment and techniques below can aid in salvaging your carpet.

Air movers and dehumidifiers encourage the drying of the carpet pad.

Wand extractors can meticulously help extraction in edges and corners.

A wet-dry vacuum can soak up the bulk of the water volume.

In this process, some exclusions are significant to note. If your carpeting is wet for more than 72 hours, we may recommend removing it. Extended exposure becomes a breeding environment for mold and bacteria, which could translate into significant issues later on. You can trust in us as we guide you through the cleanup process.
