A leak in Steilacoom can soak carpet pad across a whole room overnight. Local water damage restoration specialists serve Steilacoom and nearby Lakewood, University Place and DuPont, with help available around the clock.
Detailed Carpet Pad Water Extraction Offerings in Steilacoom
Carpet Pad Moisture Inspection
The inspection maps wet pad along walls, under furniture and into nearby rooms, so every wet section is found.
Water Damaged Carpet Pad Replacement
Pad replacement comes last, after readings confirm the subfloor is back to normal.
Subfloor Drying After Pad Removal
With the pad removed, air movers and dehumidifiers dry the bare subfloor, which dries much faster than it would under wet pad.
Carpet Pad Mold Prevention Treatment
After drying, an antimicrobial can be applied to the subfloor where pad sat wet for days, before new pad is installed.
