Have you ever come home to find your carpets completely flooded? Whether from natural weather events or leaky pipes and appliances within the home, flooded carpets can result in serious damage to your property.
In order to minimise damage and preserve the quality of your carpets, water damage restoration services are required. At Perth Carpet Cleaning, we provide responsive high quality water damage restoration services to quickly and effectively restore your carpets.
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.
When Would I Need Water Damage Restoration Services?
From leaky pipes to heavy rain, carpets can become flooded in a number of different ways. Whether water is fresh from the tap or contaminated from pipes, all carpet flooding should be dealt with by a professional.
Repairing a Flooded Carpet
Flood restoration services are designed to provide fast and effective solutions for flooded carpets. Regardless of the type of water or liquid soaked up by the carpets, a carpet cleaning professional will come fully equipped to effectively assess and resolve the issue. While flooding can vary in severity, from simple drying to the need for total replacements, a professional will help you understand how to best move forward in drying, sanitising and repairing your flooded carpets.
Carpet Stain Removal Services
Water, flooding and spilled liquids can leave serious stains on carpet. Both visually unappealing and potentially unsanitary, removing carpet stains is important in maintaining the quality and look of your carpets.
As carpet cleaning professionals, we provide a variety of quality carpet stain removal services depending on the nature of your stains and your type of carpet. From stagnant water to dirt, oils and mud, we utilise specialised products and techniques to rid your carpet of stains as quickly and effectively as possible.
Preventing the Growth of Mould
Excessive moisture is a breeding ground for mould. Without proper drying and sanitation of carpets, mould and mildew can begin to appear under the surface. If your carpets are flooded, enhance the airflow and ventilation of your space to allow for moisture to dry up as quickly as possible. While ventilation and fanning will help your carpets appear and feel dry, they may not effectively rid the entire area of moisture.
If you attempt to dry your carpets without the help of a professional, you may fail to properly mitigate the risk of mould developing. A professional carpet cleaner employs specialised techniques to ensure that your carpets are not only dry but properly protected against the growth of mould.
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.
