Indicators for Carpet Pad Water Extraction in Your Home
Carpet Staying Damp After a Spill
Carpet that still feels damp a day after a spill or cleaning has water trapped in the pad.

How Carpet Pad Water Extraction Works in Mineral
Step 1: Water Containment
The leak is stopped, and furniture is moved or set on blocks to keep it off the wet carpet.
Step 2: Carpet Pad Moisture Removal
Weighted extraction tools press water from the carpet and pad, starting with the wettest areas.

Once dry, areas where pad sat wet can be treated before new pad is installed.
