Carpet Water Damage Restoration in Statesville, NC

The problem

Wet carpet holds far more water in the padding than on the surface. Statesville homeowners often see the carpet dry within a day and assume the job is done — while the pad below stays wet for weeks, growing mold and warping subfloor.

How we fix it

Weighted extractors compress padding to extract bound water in one pass. Air movers underneath the carpet with dehumidifiers overhead dry pad and carpet together. Anti-microbial treatment prevents pad mold.

FAQs

Carpet Water Damage Restoration Questions

Can wet carpet be saved?
Category-1 (clean) water: usually yes if extracted within 24–48 hours. Category-2 (gray) water: pad must be replaced; carpet cleaned. Category-3 (black) water: both carpet and pad must be discarded.
How long does carpet take to dry?
With professional equipment: 24–48 hours for Class-1 losses. Larger losses with more affected pad: 3–5 days. Air drying without equipment: 7–10+ days and usually results in mold growth.
Do I have to replace the pad?
For clean water extracted quickly: often no. For water sitting more than 48 hours, sewage or drain water, or brown-water flooding: yes, pad must be removed and replaced. Padding is inexpensive relative to mold remediation.
What about stains and odors?
Extraction removes most staining if done quickly. For persistent stains or odors, professional carpet cleaning post-drying handles most issues. Set-in sewage or oil-based staining may require carpet replacement.
