What Are The Tips of Drying A Flooded Carpet?
Want your carpet clean and dry in the fastest time possible after a flood? Well, depending on the water quantity, the following steps will guide you into getting your carpet back.
- Remove Your Furniture
- Get Rid of the Water
- Use a Dehumidifier
- Dry the Flooded Carpet
- Remove the Padding
- Properly Dry the Subfloor
- Thoroughly clean Your Carpet
To clean with ease, get the furniture out of your way to create enough working space.
Here, use a submersible pump to remove as much water as you can then get a shop vac to remove the remaining water volume.
Depending on its capacity, a dehumidifier plays a significant role in removing moisture. Be sure to keep emptying it and place it as a safe, dry place.
Use fans to fasten the drying process, which may take a few days, depending on the moisture content.
If wet, remove and replace the padding to avoid mold build-up.
Once you’ve removed the padding, check the subfloor, and if wet, dry it properly and roll back your semi-dry carpet after replacing the filling.
Finally, before completely drying your carpet, clean it with antibacterial solutions and ensure enough air circulation as you allow the carpet to dry.
