Our Carpet & Floor Drying Process
Moisture Assessment
We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to determine saturation depth in carpet, pad, subfloor, and hardwood planks.
Water Extraction
Industrial truck-mounted extractors remove standing water and deep moisture from carpet and padding.
Pad Evaluation
Carpet padding is assessed — if saturated, it is removed and replaced, as it cannot typically be dried in place effectively.
Drying System Setup
Low-profile drying mats or Injecti-Dry floor systems are installed to force dry air directly through flooring layers.
Daily Monitoring
Moisture readings are taken daily to track drying progress and confirm materials are reaching acceptable levels.
Final Clearance
Once all readings meet IICRC drying standards, equipment is removed and flooring is assessed for any needed repairs.
Common Questions
Can wet carpet be saved?
Often yes, if treated within 24-48 hours. The carpet itself can frequently be saved; padding usually needs replacement. We assess each case individually.
Can hardwood floors be dried without replacement?
In many cases yes — with specialized drying mat systems. However, severely cupped or buckled boards may need sanding or replacement after drying.
How long does floor drying take?
Carpet typically dries in 2-3 days. Hardwood and subfloors may require 5-10 days depending on saturation depth and species of wood.
