Extraction after a Water Damage

8/3/2018 (Permalink)

Carpet and padding can hold gallons of water. When flooding occurs indoors, carpet is one of the first things that attract and trap water. As a result, mold and mildew can begin to grow in as little as 48 hours. It is imperative to extract the water quickly and effectively in order to ensure that secondary damage and microbial growth does not occur.

The quickest way to extract water out of carpet is with a weighted wet/dry vacuum. The water damage technicians at SERVPRO® of Springfield utilize industrial grade equipment in order to accelerate the process. After the water has been extracted, air movers and dehumidifiers are set up in order to remove any excess moisture.

Dealing with wet carpet is not fun, but you don’t have to handle it alone. Call SERVPRO® of Springfield at 217-528-7775. We are Here to Help®.
