Wet Carpet Water Extraction
Furniture is moved or set on blocks, and every wet section of carpet is extracted, including closets and under beds.
Carpet Mold Prevention Treatment
Drying carpet quickly is the main way to limit microbial growth. Treatment is added only where materials stayed wet long enough to need it.
Emergency Carpet Water Removal
Carpet that is extracted within hours is much more likely to be saved than carpet left wet overnight.
Carpet Water Extraction Services
After extraction, readings show how much water is left in the carpet and pad, which decides the drying plan.
Carpet Flood Cleanup Services
