Whenever possible, carpet restoration is decidedly a more cost-effective alternative to replacement. However, the key to successful restoration is immediate treatment to prevent the onset of mold and mildew. The more mold and mildew odors intensify, the less likely successful carpet restoration will be.
Restoration methods depend on the type of carpet.
Glued Carpet
1. All excess water is extracted.
2. The carpet is treated with a fungicide.
3. The carpet is cleaned using AmeriServ Restoration exclusive methods.
4. The carpet is retreated with fungicides and deodorant.
Carpet with Pad
1. All excess water is extracted.
2. All wet pad is (and must be) thrown away.
3. Ideally, carpeting should be restored on-site, providing the premises are
conducive to doing so. When on-site restoration is not possible, the damaged
carpet is moved to an AmeriServ Restoration warehouse**, treated with
fungicide and deodorant, then stored on racks until ready for re-installation
over new pad.
4. The carpet is cleaned after installation using AmeriServ Restoration
exclusive cleaning methods. (The carpeting is cleaned after installation to
prevent shrinkage.)
5. As a last step, the carpet is retreated with fungicide and deodorant.
As specialists water damage restoration, AmeriServ Restoration , has developed a number of cleaning methods and products, including specially formulated fungicides and deodorant, designed for the effective treatment of water damaged carpets.
*All furniture and equipment must be moved off wet carpet or blocked and padded.
** We do not recommend moving less expensive grades of carpet. Unless the carpet is high grade quality the expense and inconvenience of restoration may not be feasible.
