Rental Property Carpet Remediation

Rental property carpet remediation is often discovered at move out, when furniture is gone and a stain or smell is suddenly obvious. It can also surface mid lease, when a tenant reports a musty room. Either way, landlords need a clear path to a dry, clean unit.

The problem behind rental property carpet remediation

Vacant units can hide problems because no one is there to notice a slow leak. A unit closed up for weeks with no air conditioning or ventilation can build up enough humidity to support growth in carpet.

Occupied units add the need for communication. Tenants want to know what is happening, and owners want the cause fixed so it does not repeat with the next resident.

How rental property carpet remediation typically works

1
Describe the unit
Vacant or occupied, size, and when the issue was noticed.
2
Find the moisture
Plumbing, appliances, windows, or humidity in a closed up unit are checked.
3
Remove affected materials
Carpet and pad with growth come out and are handled for disposal.
4
Prepare for turnover
Once dry, the unit is ready for flooring and the next tenant.
