Carpet Water Extraction
Carpet Water Extraction
We cannot do without water, it is one of the staples of life, and it sustains the planet, but although water is life giving it can also be very destructive if not controlled. The world has seen the devastation of the Tsunami in Japan, you may not experience such a devastation in your life time, but there is a good chance you might experience torrential rains when your roof might leak or a window get broken in the process, even a mundane faulty faucet, a water trap that has come loose, or a leaky pipe can cause havoc in your home. Larger disasters often come with some warning and you can take action but the smaller water problems are often hidden and do the damage behind the scenes so to speak.
Searching for water damage
It would be worth your while to check for warning signs that you have a leak and identify it before it become a really serious problem:
- Water that is standing on the floor, if you find continuous pools of water that indicates you have a leak somewhere, you need to look for the source of the water. Mopping up day after day is not the solution, finding the leak and fixing it becomes imperative. The longer you wait the more damage to the floor over time.
- Check for signs of buckling in your floors, this often indicates there is a hidden leak somewhere.
- If you see stains appearing on walls and floors then that indicates a leak, to fix it you need to trace the source of the leak.
- Check windows and exterior doors, if you see moisture and stains appear then that means that water is coming from outside.
- If you see stains appear on your ceiling, or the ceiling starts to buckle, then that could mean there is a leak in your roof,
- Any sign of mold or mildew indicates that there is moisture that is trapped and not enough air circulating. Bathroom and closets are obvious places. The moisture might be coming from a crawl space.

Fabric Water Damage
Drapes and fabric water damage can occur when there is a overflow of water, if you have forgotten the bath water filling your bath upstairs this can have a serious impact on your carpets, upholstered furniture and drapes, trying to clear up a situation like that is a serious undertaking for anyone. Stair and living room carpets can take a serious knock and be quite a job to get them all dry.
Prevention is better than cure
The chances that you are able to clean up the spilled water effectively is not guaranteed as you will need expensive extraction machinery to get all the water out of the carpets and furniture, then attempting to air dry these items just leaves you open to mold, fungi and bacteria infestation, the whole process of mold growth begins within 24 hours, while the carpets are still damp. Air drying may take days to feel dry but sometimes underneath the carpet the floor is still damp. Damp wooden floors can begin to warp and rot if left too long.
