Carpet Restoration Service

Carpet restoration determines whether soaked carpet can be saved and returns salvageable carpet to a clean, dry, safe condition. The deciding factor is water category and time: clean-water carpet extracted and dried quickly is often recoverable, while carpet exposed to contaminated water or left wet for days usually must go. Restoration typically involves extracting water, discarding the saturated pad, cleaning and sanitizing the carpet, and drying it in place or floating it over air movers. Cost depends on the affected area, whether the pad is replaced, and the level of cleaning needed. The pad beneath is almost always replaced even when the carpet is saved, because it holds water and contaminants. For owners, quick action is the single biggest factor in whether restoration costs less than full replacement, making prompt extraction the deciding move.

How it works

The service process

  1. 1

    Salvage assessment

    Water category and soak time determine whether the carpet can be saved.

  2. 2

    Water extraction

    Deep extraction pulls water from the carpet fibers and backing.

  3. 3

    Pad removal

    The saturated pad beneath is removed since it retains water and contaminants.

  4. 4

    Cleaning and sanitizing

    The carpet is cleaned and treated to remove soil and microbial risk.

  5. 5

    Drying

    The carpet is floated or dried in place with air movers until fully dry.
