Carpet Drying

At Freshly Flood Restoration, we provide 24/7 flooded carpet drying services across Melbourne.
Even minor water damage can ruin carpets unless you act fast. Left untreated, moisture in your carpets can promote the growth of mould and mildew. It can also release allergens and contaminants into the air and lead to rot in the carpet fibres and underlay carpet padding. The moisture can even seep into surrounding walls, floors and building structures.
If your home has recently been flooded, untreated moisture can cause a variety of problems, including:

How We Dry Wet Carpets: Our Process

When it comes to carpet water damage, our team will thoroughly assess the damage and implement a drying and cleaning process using state-of-the-art equipment.

To restore and dry wet carpeting, our carpet water damage process includes:

1. Extract the water:

We extract water using heavy-duty equipment designed to remove standing water quickly and suitablely. We also relocate all items to unaffected areas to reduce the risk of further water damage.

2. Dry and purify:

Flood damage carpet drying is carried out using air movers and dehumidifiers to remove all traces of moisture. In addition, we constantly monitor moisture levels across the area. Air filtration systems are used to remove odours, allergens, bacteria, mould and other irritants.

3. Clean and restore:

Once the water has been extracted and the moisture removed, the carpets can be fully cleaned, sanitised and restored.

What Equipment Do You Need for Carpet Drying

Here are some equipment we use for our carpet drying service

Extraction Tools

We use the best heavy-duty water extraction tools on the market, such as flash extractors and water claws. These tools can remove large amounts of standing water in a short time, including water that has seeped into the carpet.

Air Movers

An air mover is a portable machine that blows air low on the ground, across the surface of a floor or carpet. This forces the water to evaporate faster, which is why this is a popular piece of machinery both in the restoration business and in industrial cleaning (most offices can’t afford to wait hours for the carpet to dry).

Dehumidifiers

Another tool that we use for drying out carpets after flood damage is a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers work by drawing out damp air and condensing it into water molecules, which is stored in a tank in the machine. The machine also pushes out dry air, which then blows into the carpet.

Dehumidifiers used in combination with air movers are one of the best ways to thoroughly dry a carpet after water damage. They ensure that no water is left behind.

Restoration Machinery

There are several types of machinery that can be used to clean a carpet. Some examples include steamers and rotating brushes. For persistent stains, we can use carpet shampoo or dry cleaning equipment for a more suitable job.

How to Dry a Water Damaged Carpet

If your carpet has been damaged by water, it’s important to dry it out as quickly as possible. The longer it stays wet, the greater the risk of mould and mildew growth.

For small water spills, you can dry your carpet by blotting it with towels or using a dry/wet vacuum. Put wet towels away, and if possible, open the windows and doors to allow better airflow. Once the carpet is completely dry, be sure to vacuum it thoroughly before using it again.

For larger flooding situations, a professional water damage restoration service may be needed. Professional services use specialised equipment to remove water quickly, restore carpets and treat for mould or mildew growth.
