Drying Saturated Carpets in Your Newark Home Quickly

Carpeting is a standard construction staple for Newark homes, and often a spot most susceptible to saturation and water loss when emergencies occur. Preventing the exposure of this flooring type might not be feasible, but this does not mean that the material itself has become too irreparably damaged to save. Our professionals have a deep inventory of recovery tools and mitigation equipment that can quickly salvage even heavily saturated flooring, including both carpeted areas and elements like hardwood or vinyl planking.

As you might expect, the approach to restoring water damage in Newark homes depends on the severity of the situation and its positioning in the house. Our SERVPRO team can quickly identify the source of the incident, and use advanced discovery devices like infrared imagery and thermal tools to locate moisture pockets and dampness beyond the surfaces of exposed materials. These tools can show our technicians the depth of water damage beneath carpeted floors.

It is not difficult for saturation to penetrate beyond the fibers of the carpet and into the subflooring and padding underneath. Often our SERVPRO professionals can utilize specialized equipment like weighted extractors to remedy the majority of this exposure by forcing moisture to the surface for water damage removal by a powerful onboard vacuum. When the spreading water effects penetrate deeper than the padding, however, more intricate drying and recovery methods are necessary.

While floating a carpet, which mostly involves placing high powered air movers between the carpet itself and the subflooring materials can help to dry both of these elements, structural supports and joists are harder to dry out in this manner. When saturation exists in these areas, it must either get addressed from the crawlspace or basement of the home or requires the complete removal of the carpets to get down to these exposed materials for focused drying efforts.

Knowing how your carpets can get protected and preserved when water loss incidents occur can showcase the importance of fast response to these emergencies. While we have skilled water restoration technicians available 24/7 on our SERVPRO of Newark team, you are the vital first step in making these loss incidents “Like it never even happened.” Give us a call today at (302) 733-7933.
