Your Carpet Water Extraction Questions Answered

What is the difference between carpet extraction and restoration?

Extraction removes the water from carpet and pad. Restoration covers drying, pad replacement, relaying and cleaning afterward.

Why is the carpet pad a focus during water removal?

The pad holds most of the water and sits against the subfloor, so it causes most lasting damage if left wet.

What does an emergency carpet water pump out involve?

Pumping standing water off the carpet first, then extracting the carpet and pad with weighted tools.

How long does the carpet water damage repair process take?

Extraction takes hours, drying often takes a few days and relaying or replacing carpet follows after.

What tools are used for carpet moisture extraction?

Pumps, weighted extraction tools, truck-mounted or portable extractors, air movers and dehumidifiers, plus moisture meters.
