Water/Flood Damage - Nassau
Cleaning a flooded carpet and rug is essential to prevent mold growth and eliminate potential health hazards. Here are step-by-step instructions for cleaning a flooded carpet and rug:
Safety First:
We use disposable gloves and a protective mask, especially if the floodwater is contaminated.
Remove Standing Water:
We use a commercial extraction machine to remove as much standing water as possible from the carpet and rug.
Prevent Mold Growth:
We act quickly to prevent mold growth. Mold can develop within 24 to 48 hours in damp conditions.
Remove Furniture (if possible):
We lift furniture off the wet carpet and rugs place aluminum foil or wooden blocks under the legs to prevent further damage.
Inspect And Clean:
Inspect the rugs and carpets for damage. If it's salvageable, we will deep clean them with a mixture of mild, yet very effective detergent and water.
Rinsing:
Rinsing the carpet thoroughly with clean water to remove detergent residues is essential. We then clean rinse again for added safety.
Disinfect:
A disinfectant is a very important part of any post water or fire cleaning service. Applying the solution to the carpets and rugs to disinfect and inhibit mold growth is a must.
Drying:
Allow the carpets and rugs to dry completely before stepping on them. Use fans will speed up the drying process.
