Salvaging a Water-Damaged Carpet in Brandon

When a carpet gets flooded from a break in the plumbing, the good news is that the water is clean and not contaminated. That means that our SERVPRO WRT water damage restoration technicians work really hard to salvage the carpet from the trash heap. If called soon enough, We're Faster To Any Size Disaster, we can vacuum up most of the water until some dampness remains. At times we can then "float the carpet," but in this case is was better to simply detach the flooring from the tack strips and remove it for drying. The concrete pad can then also be dried slowly with air movers and dehumidifiers so that no tensile strength is lost. "Like it never even happened." OUr fast work allowed us to keep the baseboards in place; no demolition was needed of the building elements--the Baby Pink walls were saved! Count on SERVPRO.
