Water damage is one of the biggest threats to your carpet. Some of the everyday causes of carpet damage is overflowing washing machines, burst pipes, a leaky roof or window and even moisture below. The quicker the water is removed the less likely it will cause serious damage to the carpet and or pad. Carpets should be cleaned and dried within 24 to 48 hours or more damages could occur. Call the experts at SERVPRO of Katy/Cypress to assess the damage and determine what course of action should be taken. Replacement is not the only option after water damage. There is a possibility that the carpet can be restored, depending on the extent of the damage, and how much water was present. If the carpet is affected from a leaky pipe, most likely the carpet and pad can be saved. If the water came from a river or overflowing toilet, then most likely the water is contaminated and everything will be removed, disposed, and replaced. If you have any questions about assessing the damaged that occurred to your carpet, call the professionals at SERVPRO of Katy/Cypress.
