Chicago SERVPRO Techs Remove Carpet Water Damage with Specialized Extraction Tools

Whether the damage is caused by pipe leaks or appliance failures on a Chicago property, carpet and pad can become a thriving environment for mold growth in as little as 24 hours after moisture exposure. Without rapid-response water removal, moisture can seep through to compromise subflooring and any floors below.

SERVPRO professionals provide water removal for Chicago homes day and night to return affected structures and contents to a preloss state. Highly-trained techs carefully observe Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) guidelines for water damage mitigation.

SERVPRO Extraction for Chicago Home Carpeting and More

Chicago SERVPRO professionals take a multi-pronged approach to save carpet and pad from moisture exposure:

• Specially-designed carpet wands pull water damage out of carpeting with the vacuum component of the extractor unit
• Portable extractors address nooks and crannies in walls, baseboards, corners, and other hard-to-reach spaces
• Rover vacuums use weight and pressure to pull water out of saturated carpeting

Technicians can then pull up carpet and pad to examine the subfloor and prepare it for drying with centrifugal air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers. SERVPRO can also inject or spray carpeting with EPA-registered antimicrobials during the cleanup process.

Don’t wait for clean category 1 water to degrade into gray category 2 or black water which is category 3. Then the pad must be discarded and generally also the carpet.
