Water damage is among the most critical disasters your home could face, particularly if your house features highly porous building materials like drywall and carpeting. Our Rainbow Restoration team has become a trusted name in mitigation services following disasters, working quickly to save impacted flooring, such as carpeting, where possible.

Water removal for Jonesborough carpeted floors can involve several pieces of equipment or approaches. Understanding the best method and the right time for certain practices is a calculated decision by our experienced restoration specialists, who conduct mitigation after the initial notice of loss.

Three Approaches to Saving Your Carpeted Floors

1.Extraction Equipment

One of the first phases of any water removal task is eliminating the standing water on the surfaces as rapidly as possible. Truck-mounted extraction units are often the most efficient approach, outperforming other machines in our inventory, such as wet vacuums, which are better suited for controlled use and inaccessible areas. The power of truck-mounted units pulls moisture from carpet fibers, padding, and even the subflooring underneath these layers. When even greater removal is necessary, weighted extraction applies pressure and sucks out moisture to reduce the drying time.

2.Relying on Air Movers

Eliminating standing water and much of what gets absorbed into carpeting is insufficient to save the flooring or prevent more costly mold and mildew concerns. We utilize high-velocity air movers to enhance evaporation, drawing moisture from the fibers and into the environment as humidity.

3.Dehumidifiers

In areas with high humidity, dehumidification units are necessary. Refrigerant dehumidifiers condense water from the environment into liquid by drawing it across cold coils in the machine. Water in the unit can be discharged or drained away, and the optimal balance of acceptable humidity, airflow, and extraction effectively protects carpeting.
