The Carpet Pad Water Extraction Process in West Park
Carpet Pad Moisture Inspection
Readings are recorded before removal and during drying, giving a clear record for your insurer.
Subfloor Drying After Pad Removal
With the pad removed, air movers and dehumidifiers dry the bare subfloor, which dries much faster than it would under wet pad.
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.
Water Damaged Carpet Pad Replacement
Pad replacement comes last, after readings confirm the subfloor is back to normal.
Wet Carpet Pad Removal Services
Soaked pad is cut out in sections, rolled and bagged. Pad is inexpensive and holds water for a long time, so replacing it is often the practical choice.
