Avoid Damage to Carpets and Flooring in your Covina home

Most consumers realize that it is essential to remove water from carpeting and flooring as soon as possible. Consumers understand that mold may appear if the moisture in a home or business is not reduced to acceptable levels within a few days after a water event. Carpets can be further damaged if the laminated layers separate. Homeowners and business owners may not realize just how much water a carpet can hold and the process required to remove all of this moisture.

SERVPRO understands water extraction processes in Covina. Our technicians utilize appropriate equipment to avoid future mold, structure, and carpet delamination problems. Certifications include AMRT - Applied Microbial Remediation Technician and ASD - Applied Structural Drying Technician.

Extracting Water and Moisture from Carpeting
SERVPRO utilizes water extraction machines that compress and squeeze the moisture out of the carpet and under pad. Our technicians ride on these machines, adding their weight to compress the carpet and extracting the water and moisture at the same time. The majority of the water has been removed, after several passes.

Next, we deploy air movers in strategic locations to drive dry air across the carpet. Dry air can be brought in through open doorways or windows from unaffected areas. After absorbing some of the moisture, the air may pass through another exit location. In addition, dehumidifiers are brought in to help remove additional moisture.

Some situations may require carpeting to be lifted, exposing the under pad, and subfloor. Air movers are positioned to blow dry air under the carpet to expedite moisture removal and drying.

Our SERVPRO crew chief and technicians have a great deal of experience and training in these areas and can deploy the most efficient and effective methods required to extract all water and moisture from your home or business. We also use moisture meters and infrared cameras. These devices confirm all moisture has been removed after a water event.
