Step 1: First Call and Containment
Water is stopped from spreading into dry rooms, and wet belongings are lifted off the carpet.

Frequently Asked Carpet Water Damage Restoration Questions
What is the difference between water extraction and carpet drying?
Extraction removes liquid water quickly. Drying removes the moisture left behind with air movers and dehumidifiers.
What are the signs of hidden moisture under carpet?
Musty smells, stains that appear while drying, rust marks along walls and carpet that feels damp days later.
How long does it take to dry a water-damaged carpet?
Often a few days after extraction, depending on how wet the pad and subfloor were and the room conditions.
How soon should I call for carpet water extraction?
Right away. Carpet extracted within hours is far more likely to be saved than carpet left wet overnight.
Can carpet water damage lead to structural issues?
Yes. Water that soaks through to a wood subfloor can cause swelling, soft spots and rot if not dried.
