To minimise the damage, water removal must happen quickly. When a flooding emergency occurs, you need expert help – and you need it fast. In situations like these faster action is taken, the less damage is caused and the easier the restoration process.
At the Water Damage Network, we understand the costly degree of damage that can be caused by flooding and aim to minimise your losses by providing fast efficient and effective emergency carpet cleaning. Our carpet drying service involves thorough procedures to ensure wet carpets are quickly taken care of to prevent stains, mould, odours, and secondary damage from water seeping into beams, walls, and joinery.
Our qualified technicians use specialised moisture monitors to assess the extent of flood damage and water saturation levels. This analysis will determine the best methods to implement effective emergency carpet cleaning.
The extent of damage is partly affected by the type of water which has caused the flooding. It can be clean water from appliance malfunctions, water supply lines, or bathtub overflow. Alternatively, water damage can be more severe from greywaters such as toilet bowls, dishwasher, or washing machine leakages, or black water such as faulty sewage lines, sewage backflow, and leakages.
Flood damage cleaning procedures will be outlined once the water source has been determined. Our technicians will then determine whether it may be safer to remove the wet carpet due to contamination and potential health hazards or will proceed to implement the appropriate carpet cleaning methods.
Should contamination levels be too large a risk factor, we will provide you with an emergency carpet cleaning report to assist with insurance claims you may need to make in replacing the carpet entirely.
1 Call the Water Damage Network as soon as possible to start the carpet drying evaluation process. The longer you leave wet carpets the higher the risk of damage including water penetration to the subfloor, walls, and structures as well as the development of irreversible mildew damage.
2 Remove electrical cords and appliances from the flooded area and turn off the power supply to exposed electrical sockets.
3 Remove furniture, blinds, and curtains which are in contact with the wet carpet. Do not place any wet items on a dry carpet.
4 Remove excess water with a mop, getting tiles, timber, and vinyl flooring as dry as possible.
Our hot water extraction machines are the most effective method in emergency wet carpet drying. Lengthy periods of water saturation cause structural, sub-floor, and irreversible mildew damage; therefore, quick water extraction is essential in minimising the extent of the damage.
Our anti-microbial treatment is paramount to kill breeding microbes which cause health hazards, progressive, long-term damage, and unpleasant odours.
Effective flooded carpet drying can be achieved by the use of specialised air movers and dehumidifiers. Our thorough procedure may require the wet carpet to be lifted to treat the underlying sub-floor. If needed, damaged underlays will be removed and replaced. To prevent future mould and mildew, we also draw water from the surrounding wet surfaces and reduce moisture from the air with dehumidifiers.
Once the carpet has been relayed, and flooded carpet drying is complete, we steam clean the carpet with an anti-browning solution to remove stains and prevent the browning of wool fibres. Anti-microbial treatment during the steaming process provides a deep clean which kills any remaining bacteria.
As part of the emergency carpet cleaning process, we determine whether the water damage has spread into any surrounding structural elements. Depending on the degree of damage, we will also dry walls, beams, and joinery, and may need to arrange replastering and painting.
If your carpet or timber floor is not redeemable through our water damage carpet drying service, we will recommend replacements or restoration work before we commence drying and can arrange this for you.
