Minor Leak and Fast Cleanup in Charleston

When water leaks in a finished basement in the Charleston area, fast removal, and a great plan can mitigate damages. Newly laid carpeting is not something a homeowner wants to have to replace, so the wise move is to call in SERVPRO. Our skilled technicians, in water damage restoration and carpet cleaning CCT can cut short the damaging effects of water on the nap, the laminated layer, and the padding. Special extractors with agitating wands can quickly suction off most of the liquid from the flooring material. Then a method called "floating" is executed to eliminate the remaining moisture embedded in the materials. Pulling the carpet away from the tack strips allow for warm air from the movers to drive the water molecules into the air where the vapor is then captured in dehumidifiers. After one day in many cases, the carpet can be restretched and the After Photo is what made the owner feel "Like it never even happened."
