1. Can Your Flood-damaged Carpet be Salvaged?
Salvaging a flood-damaged carpet depends on a number of factors. They are as follows;
- The source of the flooding
- The time period it was wet
- Whether or not it can be effectively cleaned and disinfected
There is no need to give up hope. Restoration professionals may give a second chance to the vast majority of carpets damaged by flooding. In this situation, the amount of time you take to respond is a crucial factor. Repairing the damaged carpet as soon as possible is imperative. Therefore, get in touch with expert carpet cleaners as soon as possible after the flooding has occurred. It is never a good idea to try to handle flooding situations alone since there are often several hazards involved. Flooding can cause electrical shorts and other hazards.
2. How does the Source of the Flooding Affect Your Chance of Saving the Carpet?
Identifying which of the following categories the source of the flooding belongs to, influences the decision to restore or replace your carpet. Category 1 water source damage is suitable for restoration by a professional. However, categories 2 and 3 water sources are contaminated and therefore, the carpet has to be replaced.
- Category 1:- A clean source such as broken pipelines, supply chains, rain or snow.
- Category 2:- Sources such as toilet bowls with urine but no faeces, sump pump failures, dishwashers or washing machines.
- Category 3:- Floodwater
- Not sure:– If you are not sure about the water source, general EPA/FEMA/CDC guidelines recommend a replacement.
3. When is it Best to Call in the Professional Flood Restoration Service?
Handling emergency water damage situations are best left for the professionals. As such, calling in professional help as soon as possible in an emergency water damage situation is the best. However, making a quick assessment about the source, its category and whether the leakage has been stopped would be advantageous. This should be done before calling them in.
