Wet Carpet Cleaning

With Melbourne’s extreme weather conditions, wet carpet can be a common problem in residential and commercial properties. Especially, when damage is connected with more complex kind of damages like washing machine leaks, hot water system, toilet back-flow, broken pipes or damaged plumbing, weather disasters like heavy rains, storm, flash floods and so on. So, if you want to dry wet carpet, it is best that you hire professionals. Our professional wet carpet cleaning services include the following steps:

• Extracting water using strong vacuum machines.
• Carrying out a thorough cleaning of the flooded carpet.
• Drying and dehumidifying the wet carpet using advanced drying equipment.
• Handle carpets for water stains developed due to water leakage.
• Steam clean carpet on completion of the restoration.
• A damp carpet can cause mildew germination and mould growth after 48 hours. Mould will not be immediately noticeable. This fungi buildup can pose a severe health risk for you and your family. The moisture in a dark, damp place will increase these toxins with time. We highly recommend treating your flooded carpet immediately.
• Unattended flooded water can damage your expensive content as well as the integrity of the structure.

Categories of Water

The water which affects the area is usually classified as below:

Clean Water

– Water from supply lines, sink or bath overflow or from appliance malfunctions.

Grey Water

– Water from toilet bowls with urine without feces, sump pump failures, dishwashing or washing machine water discharge pipe.

Black Water

– Water from sewage backflow, river water, or ground surface water. The restoration of the affected area should be treated differently depending upon the category of water, which our cleaners make sure to inform you about accordingly.

What can you do before we arrive?

First, for safety reasons, turn off the supply to exposed electrical sockets and appliances, remove extension cords and power strips from the affected area.

Also, securing your furniture to avoid getting in contact with the wet carpet should be of utmost priority. Secure your blinds and curtains if they are in contact with the affected area.

Try removing the excess water with a mop and bucket as much as you can from the tile, timber or vinyl flooring. If the carpet is damp or soaked from flood aftermath, then put towels to prevent spreading it further. The excess water can also be vacuumed.
