Are Professional Restoration Services Necessary for a Water Emergency in Bristol?

Water can adversely affect carpets, floorboards, wall cavities, and doorways. Sometimes water-related problems can lead to further issues like mold. To ensure you avoid secondary damages, contact a Bristol-based water restoration firm.

Can I salvage wet carpets after a water emergency?

Carpet fibers can become weak with exposure to water, which leads to ripping and tearing. You may also experience issues with delamination and microbial growth. However, providing that you initiate a restoration procedure early, there is a strong chance of being able to recover your carpets without requiring a replacement. Homeowners that use professional services for water cleanup in Bristol have a strong chance of recovering water losses because they are using qualified water restorers. The latter can inspect the issue and implement the necessary recovery equipment.

What is the process for carpet restoration?

    •    Inspect the carpets and use a moisture probe to ascertain whether water has reached the carpet pad
    •    Carefully detach the carpet using the appropriate tools and inspect the underside for delamination or mold issues
    •    If water has not permeated the subfloor or carpet pad, you can float the carpet using an air-mover to circulate warm air beneath the carpet
    •    If water has permeated the carpet, remove the carpet pad, cut it into small pieces and place in a double-sealed waste bag

How can I dry a wet carpet without detaching it?

Detaching a carpet is generally the fastest method to drying it because it allows airflow to circulate on the underside of the carpet. However, in some rooms, the time it takes to remove furniture may negate the drying time. SERVPRO technicians can perform in-place drying using a weighted extraction tool to circulate the perimeter of the carpet and working inwards. In-place drying is useful when the water has not permeated the carpet pad and can be less time-consuming than other methods of carpet restoration.
