Why you have to get your carpets professionally cleaned after flood damage

Want to avoid mould and foul odours after a flood in your home? Then hire a professional carpet cleaner because even a small flood can lead to structural damage, which can be extremely costly to fix. The only way to have your carpet properly restored is to hire a professional carpet cleaning service. To learn more about why water damage restoration services are essential after a flood in your home, keep reading.

How bad is the water damage?

The first step is to assess the damage to your flooded carpet. There are three types of water damage after flooding which relate directly to the source of the flood. The first category is damage caused by broken pipes, overflowing sinks or faulty appliance connections such as water leaking from a water supply line connected to a washing machine. While this water damage is a nuisance, the clean-up involved will not be too hazardous. The second category of water damage is caused by greywater. This water can cause sickness and can be discharged from a dishwasher or a washing machine. This type of flood can create unsightly stains in your carpet which can only be removed by a professional. The third category is damage caused by water which carries pathogenic agents which has a severe health risk to people and must also be cleaned by trusted professional carpet cleaners. This ‘blackwater’ is caused by sewage or river or seawater and is grossly unsanitary. All of these types of flooding must be cleaned by a professional as they don’t only have the right equipment, but they also have the knowledge and experience to make your flooded carpets pristine.

 How professional carpet cleaning can help 

Having your carpets professionally cleaned prevents further damage caused by mould. This is because carpet cleaners completely dry the area to avoid any trapped moisture as dampness creates an ideal environment for mould and mildew, which is highly unsanitary and causes an awful smell. This can also ruin your floors underneath the carpet and cause structural damage. Damp carpet can also damage furniture, as water or moisture present on the bottom of wooden furniture can cause rotting.
