Carpet Water Extraction Services in North Potomac
Wet Carpet Water Extraction
Extraction starts where the carpet is wettest and moves outward, including along walls and in closets where water collects.
Carpet Leak Water Extraction
Water from a leaking pipe, water heater or appliance is extracted from the carpet nearest the leak and wherever it spread underneath.
Carpet Drying Services

Carpet Pad Water Removal
Pad under wet carpet holds most of the water. It is extracted through the carpet first, then removed if it stays soaked or the water was dirty.

A wet subfloor beneath the carpet adds drying time and may need extra equipment.

Antimicrobial treatment of the subfloor or backing where carpet stayed wet is an added step.
Water Contamination Level
Dirty water means pad and carpet must be removed, which costs more than drying in place.
