Should I Clean My Carpets After Getting Water Damage In My House?

No matter when you make the call, we have technicians who can assist you.

SERVPRO Can Offer Professional Carpet Cleaning Services In Your Naples Home After You Suffer From A Water Leak

Whenever a pipe breaks or an appliance malfunctions, moisture will first follow gravity and get your floors wet before traveling elsewhere. Wet carpets can attract dirt and soils to it before the materials completely dry. During the restoration process, heavily trafficked sections of your carpet could also start to stain or darken with dirt.

Do My Carpets Need To Be Dried Out Before They Can Be Cleaned?

If your carpets got wet as a result of water damage in your Naples house, it is wise to have your carpets cleaned by a professional company such as SERVPRO after other restoration procedures get conducted. First, it is wise to extract all of the moisture from your wet carpets as possible, and then we can conduct applied structural drying (ASD) procedures.

What Else Has To Be Done Before My Carpets Can Be Cleaned?

Dusting: If any dust was created during the restoration process, we can use dusters or vacuums to clean surfaces before cleaning your carpets.

Cleaning walls or ceilings: If your affected walls or ceiling got soiled, we can clean them with a rag and a water-based solution.

Vacuuming: Before wet-cleaning your floors, we vacuum up any dry loose debris.

How Can You Get All Of The Stains Out Of My Carpets?

Any time our SERVPRO teams clean carpets, we take the following steps to remove any staining on your carpets:

Spot Removal: We pre-treat any spot with a specialized chemical and agitate it with a brush before cleaning.

Steam Cleaning: After the spot removal agent has had time to set, we conduct the cleaning with hot water and a detergent taking several passes.

Rinse Cycle: After all of your carpets have been cleaned, we then do another pass using a rinse agent that helps prevent soils from accumulating after cleaning.

If you ever notice wet carpets after a pipe breaks in your house in Weavers Station or Wagon Wheel, call SERVPRO of Naples / Marco Island at (239) 302-5700 immediately after you notice a problem.
