Flood Damaged Carpet Remediation

Flood damaged carpet remediation is about more than mold. Floodwater from outside, rivers, or overflowing drains carries contaminants, and the EPA and FEMA generally advise that carpet and pad soaked by floodwater be removed and discarded.

The problem behind flood damaged carpet remediation

Floodwater can contain sewage, chemicals, and debris. Carpet and pad absorb all of it. Even if mold has not yet appeared, contaminated carpet is a health concern.

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours in wet conditions. After a flood, quick removal of soaked carpet and drying of the structure are critical.

How flood damaged carpet remediation typically works

  1. 1

    Safety first

    Do not enter flooded areas until electricity is off and the structure is safe.

  2. 2

    Remove soaked materials

    Carpet and pad that absorbed floodwater are removed.

  3. 3

    Dry the structure

    Subfloors and walls are dried to prevent mold growth.

  4. 4

    Prepare to rebuild

    Once dry, the space is ready for new materials.
