The Carpet Pad Water Extraction Process in Fowler
Carpet Pad Drying Services
Pad drying is checked with readings daily. If it does not dry in a few days, it is removed and replaced.
Subfloor Drying After Pad Removal
Drying the subfloor fully before new pad goes down keeps odors and stains from coming back through the carpet.
Water Damaged Carpet Pad Replacement
Pad replacement comes last, after readings confirm the subfloor is back to normal.
Emergency Carpet Pad Water Extraction
Help is available any hour, because pad soaks up water quickly and holds it against the subfloor, where damage spreads out of sight.
Carpet Pad Mold Prevention Treatment
After drying, an antimicrobial can be applied to the subfloor where pad sat wet for days, before new pad is installed.
