Common Carpet Pad Water Extraction Questions Answered
What is included in a carpet pad moisture inspection?
Readings through the carpet across the room, along walls and under furniture, plus checks of tack strips and subfloor.
Why remove water from carpet pad quickly?
Pad holds water against the subfloor, which can swell, stain and start to smell within a few days.
When is emergency carpet pad drying needed?
Any time carpet is soaked by a leak or overflow. Pad starts to smell and damage the subfloor within days.
Can a water damaged carpet pad be reused?
Only if the water was clean and the pad dried quickly. Otherwise it is replaced, which costs little compared with other repairs.
Is carpet pad flood cleanup a DIY project?
Not usually. Floodwater pad must be removed and discarded, and the subfloor needs cleaning and proper drying.
