Drying and Cleaning Agoura Office Carpets After a Leak

1/4/2022 (Permalink)

Fast mitigation is necessary because carpeted floors delaminate after prolonged water exposure.

Water Damage Can Ruin Carpet Floors in Agoura Office Buildings

Many office buildings feature carpeted floors as they provide a pleasant aesthetic and are not often difficult to maintain. Keeping the surface clean can often protect the color and vibrancy of the fibers, but unexpected damages like water leaks and pipe bursts can threaten this flooring. Without swift action, the carpet might need to be removed and replaced.

Standing Water Concerns 

To begin water damage cleanup for Agoura office buildings, our professionals must fixate first on any pooling water. More significant loss incidents can produce several inches of standing water around the source point, making it critical to overcome these concerns for other restoration and recovery actions to get underway. We have powerful extraction devices to help this venture, though wet vacuums and carpet wands are effective with glue-down short pile carpets.

Delamination of Low Pile Carpeting

Carpeted floors delaminate after prolonged water exposure, a process where layers pull apart from each other until the material is unsalvageable. We must also determine the ideal approach for cleaning and preserving underlying elements like:

• Concrete subflooring
• Wood subflooring
• Previously installed hardwood

Deep Cleaning Options

Our inventory's hot water extraction and deluxe cleaning machines dislodge debris and dirt from the carpets to restore their color and soft feel.

Removal and Replacement When Needed

While controlled demolition and replacing the carpeting is the least desirable option in terms of intrusiveness and the turnaround of a restored commercial facility, it is often necessary after prolonged exposure concerns. With a general contractor license and years of experience, we can complete controlled demolition and reinstallation where needed.

Cleaning up and restoring impacted carpeting in office buildings after water exposure is a necessary mitigative action to keep your business going after a disaster.
