Our experience and our equipment can prevent unnecessary damages with fast results to remove water and excess humidity.

Water Extraction to Begin Drying Carpets in Tallahassee Homes

With more widespread water loss in a Tallahassee home, numerous flooring types can get affected simultaneously. The most absorbent and easily damaged of these are carpeted surfaces, and so it is vital to protect these areas of the house as completely as you can when disasters strike. Depending on the thickness of this upper layer and the density of the fibers, subflooring and padding can sometimes become immediately affected by migrating water.

Water extraction in Tallahassee homes can help to reduce the impact that migrating water has on the rest of the house. Whether exposed carpets are the most significant concern or the contents of the property, removing any standing water and material saturation involves several premier extraction tools. Our SERVPRO professionals arrive at a damaged address with many extractors that can suit the needs of the specific damage incident and the location of the excess moisture.

Drying out damaged materials, especially carpets, cannot happen without initial extraction efforts. Depending on the plan for the flooring, namely if our in-house residential contractors intend to remove and later replace carpets and padding, dictate the level of water removal necessary. Partial replacements such as the removal of the padding beneath the carpet layer require a different extraction approach than restoring the full carpet assembly to the subflooring.

Carpet Wands

When speed is a necessity, and our professionals need to remove a modest amount of water from the exposed material, wet vacuuming with carpet wands can help. These tools are the staple of hot water extraction cleaning for carpet restoration.

Weighted Extractors 

Weighted water damage removal tools utilize the weight of the restoration technician to press the carpet and the padding layers together and force moisture to the surface. An onboard vacuum can discharge displaced moisture from these layers.

Controlled Demolition

Sometimes removing carpets and padding is the only feasible solution to prevent moisture migration to other areas. Our contractors can work to limit excessive tear-out to maximize the efficiency of build back.
