Carpet Water Damage Restoration Mansfield TX
Soaked carpet after a burst pipe? The pad is almost always a loss — but the carpet itself can often be saved if we extract within 24 hours.
Carpet vs. Pad: What Can Be Saved
Carpet padding cannot be dried in place — it must go. Carpet fiber can survive Category 1 clean water if extracted within 24 hours. After 24 hours, contamination risk rises and insurers typically require replacement.
Our Process
(1) Truck-mounted extraction. (2) Pull carpet back, remove pad. (3) Apply EPA-registered antimicrobial. (4) Air movers underneath and above carpet. (5) Hourly moisture readings. (6) Re-stretch when below 12% moisture. (7) Install new pad.
Drying Timelines by Fiber
Nylon: 24–48 hrs. Polyester: 24–36 hrs. Wool: 48–72 hrs. Berber: 36–60 hrs. All assume Cat 1 water and immediate extraction.
