Carpet Pad Water Extraction Services in Spanaway

Fast extraction and drying are the main ways to limit microbial growth under carpet. Treatment is added where materials stayed wet.

Carpet Pad Drying Services

Carpet is lifted at a corner and air movers are set to float it, so dry air flows across the pad underneath.

Pad that got wet with dirty water, or stayed wet for days, is always removed. The carpet above may still be saved if the water was clean.

Dark edges on the subfloor or tack strips near walls show water has reached the floor beneath the pad.
