SERVPRO Features Trained Technicians in Hampstead to Handle Carpets and All Water Damage Restoration Needs!

Some homeowners think that a wet/dry vacuum might be enough to pull up water after a tub overflows or burst pipes. However, if the carpeting within your Hampstead property has become saturated, there will be hidden moisture that has to be addressed. There could even be a situation where a hidden water leak behind a wall leads to carpeting, carpet padding, and the subfloor below becoming saturated. SERVPRO can get in quickly to assess the scene and mitigate further water damage from taking place.

Water damage restoration in Hampstead, where carpeting is involved, includes the use of specialized equipment. SERVPRO technicians have access to extraction tools and drying equipment to pull out all excessive moisture.

• Standing water gets pulled up with the help of truck-mounted or portable extractors.
• Additional treating or cleaning of the carpet commences.
• Technicians might remove the carpet padding below and replace it with new material.

What Happens Post-Extraction?

Included in our water removal services, our IICRC-certified technicians take steps to clean and treat the carpet, including:

• Treatment of the carpet surface, ensuring there is no damage or mildew.
• Application of antimicrobial cleaners and deodorizers to the carpet backing and flooring.
• Once the carpet gets laid back down, the front also gets treated with antimicrobials and deodorizers.

Throughout this process, our crew implements drying measures with the help of air movers and dehumidifiers. We constantly check relative humidity within the zone, adjusting our equipment, airflow, and temperatures throughout the process to help us better achieve our goals.
