Cleaning Water-Damaged Carpets in Kenner Office Buildings

3/25/2022 (Permalink)

Whether a leak from a plumbing fixture or a malfunctioning fire suppression system, water damage in your office building can be destructive to installed materials like carpeting. Our SERVPRO team can help with mitigation and restoration solutions. 

Removing Trapped Moisture in Exposed Elements? 

Much of the success to be expected during water damage restoration of Corpus Christi East offices comes from removing water in low-pile carpeting. The less saturated and deteriorated this carpeting becomes, the easier it is to extract the moisture and dry the fibers to continue using this flooring. Some of the tools designed for removing water from carpets include:

• Carpet wands
• Weighted extractors
• Drying mats
• Wet vacuums

Removing the water is often not enough to overcome the damage that burst pipes or flooding can cause exposed flooring. Our carpet cleaning technicians prepare effective cleaning options for glue-down low pile carpeting like hot water extraction. This approach improves the look and feel of carpeting in the damaged space and makes the damage effects "Like it never even happened." 

Pulling Up Carpet and Reinstalling

When drying and extraction are not effective for restoring installed carpeting throughout the office, we lean on our general contractor license to provide controlled demolition solutions. Carpet can be pulled up from the tack strips and discarded, leaving a clean space for new flooring to be installed to the property management's wishes. 

Water damage in an office space can impact many structural elements and contents. The fast response of our SERVPRO of N. Kenner, Harahan, & Lakeview ensures that our mitigation efforts begin as soon as possible. It is our business to get you back in business - and that starts with a phone call to (504) 468-3046
