Tips on Removing Water Damage from Your Carpet

6/19/2019

110 Comments

The household carpet sees it all these days. From last night’s lasagna to wine stains, we put our carpets through a lot.

Water damage is perhaps the most common problem homeowners see. The carpet fibers and its pad underneath can absorb a lot of water, which may lead to the development of fungi, spores, mildew or mold.

Restoring a water-damaged carpet requires a professional. This is because some of the methods involved can be dangerous.

The type of water, which damaged the carpet, determines whether the carpet can be restored. If your carpet is damaged by black water, which can come from flood or sewerage backup, you may need to replace it. This is because it’s likely to be contaminated.

If your toilet or the dishwasher overflows and damages your carpet, you may also need to replace your carpet. Why? Because such sources of water are considered unsanitary. The potential for health hazards is far too great.

However, if flooding has been caused by a sanitary source, then your carpet will likely be restored. Water sources such as a leaking pipe are considered sanitary because bacteria or other harmful health hazards don’t contaminate them.
​
Below are 5 tips on removing water damage from your carpet shared by Ryan from Onsite Properties. His team has worked with rental properties and they’ve seen their fair share of carpet that needed some cleaning:
Tip #1 Dry the carpet immediately
Picture
To prevent mold damage, it is crucial to dry the damaged  section as soon as possible. Good circulation of air will ensure the cleanup is successful. You will require industrial dehumidifiers and fans to help quicken up the drying process.

Set up a minimum of two high-velocity fans and a dehumidifier in the room and open the windows if the weather is dry.

If you're unable to rent the equipment, use fans instead. However, you’ll require a couple of them. Set them up around the room's circumference to encourage as much airflow as possible. You want to leave them running continuously in the room until the carpet dries completely.

Ideally, leave them running to up to 48 hours. As for the padding, you have no other option left other than to remove it and replace it.

Tip #2: Use a commercial rug shampoo.
Shampooing your carpet is a great way to get a much deeper clean than vacuuming, and it will extend your carpet’s life. You’ll need a commercial rug shampoo and a sponge. Rub the shampoo and using the sponge, rub it on a part of the carpet with a light circular motion.

If the carpet is deeply soiled, then use a brush with stiff bristle. Use clear water to rinse several times, wringing the water in the sponge every time. Change the water as often as possible.

Once you’ve done this on one part of the carpet, move to the next and repeat the process. To prevent streaking when the carpet dries, you'll want to overlap the first area prior to moving to the next area of the carpet.

Once the entire surface is clean, the next step is to dry the carpet. To achieve this, you need to place the carpet in a warm dry flat surface. You could also use a fan to speed up the process. Leave the carpet there until it has dried completely.

Some carpets may, however, shrink when shampooed. As such, you want to read the manufacturer instructions first.
​
Tip #3: Avoid contact with the wet carpet.
Picture
To prevent further damaging the carpet, you want to avoid walking on the wet carpet during the drying process. Sometimes, water can cause delamination. Delamination is when the water causes the glue backing to separate from the carpet fibers.

You’ll also want to remove all furniture sitting on top of the carpet being cleaned. Wooden furniture is especially harmful. This is because the dyes or stains from the furniture can cause staining on the wet carpet. The furniture itself can also be damaged as well.

Tip #4: Use chemical cleansers to remove any contamination.
Note, however, some chemicals cleansers are potentially dangerous. Thus, preferably, you want a professional to handle them.

Chemical cleansers help kill bacteria and organisms that cause secondary water damage to your home. Specifically, the cleansers will get rid of mold, mildew, spores, fungi, or other dangerous fungi.
​
Tip #5: Call a professional carpet cleaner. 
Picture
Professional carpet cleaners will be able to get rid of dirt, dander, mites, and even mold spores that are hiding deep in your carpet fibers. If your carpet is exposed to flooding, this is especially necessary.
​
Professionals are experienced and are equipped with all the necessary tools necessary to restore your carpet.
 
There is no doubt that water-damaged carpets can be disastrous for your home. They can ruin the flooring and cause mold infestation. Hopefully, by implementing these 5 tips, you’ll be able to restore your carpet back to its former glory.

It is a good idea to look over your insurance policy and familiarize yourself with any exclusion to your water damage coverage. For instance, most policies cover sudden damage, like water damage from a really bad storm or from an overflowing washing machine. On the other hand, any water damage that happens because you didn’t maintain the property may be excluded, as well as gradual leaks that caused water damage over time.

My sister told me that the basement of the building she visited has flooded, and people fled that place quickly. I think that her basement might now suffer from water damage along with mold growth if she doesn't have this fixed. Thanks for the tip that she should try removing all the furniture from her carpet first, so I'll tell her to do that before the restoration service she'll decide to hire in the future arrives.

Yesterday, my house was flooded since my child forgot to turn off the faucet in the laundry room all day, and she pointed out that the carpet in our living room was affected. I think it sustained some water damage that needs to be restored by an expert. Thanks for the tip that I should try shampooing my carpet as soon as possible in order to lessen the damage, and if that doesn't work, I'll contact someone.

I didn't realize that the type of water that has flooded the area can affect if the carpet needs to be replaced or not. That would be very unfortunate to have a sewer backup, and leak into the house. I'm sure that is a very extensive and long process to get that all cleaned up. This will be good information to have if I ever find myself in this situation.

You should try to remove as much water from the carpet as possible. This can be done by using a wet/dry vacuum or by blotting the area with a clean, dry towel. Once you have removed as much water as possible, you should then try to dry the area completely.

I love how you talk about how complicated restoring water-damaged flooring can be and how it's best left to the professionals. My cousins recently had their house flood and they don't know what can be kept and what should be trashed. We'll have to look into hiring some professionals to help us clean the space up.

Wooden furniture is especially harmful. This is because the dyes or stains from the furniture can cause staining on the wet carpet. The furniture itself can also be damaged as well. Thank you for the beautiful post!

To achieve this, you need to place the carpet in a warm dry flat surface. You could also use a fan to speed up the process. Leave the carpet there until it has dried completely. I’m so thankful for your helpful post!

I found your article on tips for removing water damage from carpets very informative. Water damage can be frustrating, especially when it affects your carpets. Carpets can be a challenge to dry out completely, and if not handled correctly, they can lead to mold growth and foul odor.

I appreciate your suggestion to first remove any standing water using a wet vacuum or mop. This is an essential step to prevent further damage and mold growth. Then, you suggested using fans and dehumidifiers to circulate air and remove moisture from the carpet and the surrounding air.

Your tip about checking the padding under the carpet is also helpful. Most people overlook this part and assume that drying the carpet is enough. However, the padding can hold a lot of moisture, and if not dried correctly, it can lead to mold growth and unpleasant odor.

Overall, your tips are very helpful for anyone dealing with water damage on their carpets. I will keep them in mind the next time I need to deal with water damage on my carpets. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing these helpful tips on removing water damage from carpets. Water damage can be a common and troublesome issue for homeowners, so knowing the right steps to take is invaluable.

Indeed, it's crucial to differentiate the type of water that caused the damage. If the carpet is affected by black water from a flood or sewerage backup, it's generally best to replace it due to potential contamination and health hazards. Similarly, if unsanitary sources like overflowing toilets or dishwashers are involved, replacing the carpet is often the safest option.

On the other hand, if the water damage comes from a sanitary source like a leaking pipe, there is a higher likelihood of restoring the carpet. Acting promptly is key to prevent the growth of fungi, spores, mildew, or mold, which can pose health risks and further damage the carpet.

Your mention of involving professionals in restoring water-damaged carpets is important. Professionals have the expertise and proper equipment to handle the restoration process effectively and safely. They can assess the extent of the damage, extract excess water, thoroughly dry the carpet and pad, and apply appropriate cleaning methods to minimize any potential health risks.

In addition to seeking professional assistance, the tips you shared from Ryan at Onsite Properties are valuable. Taking immediate action to remove excess water, using fans or dehumidifiers to facilitate drying, and thoroughly cleaning the affected area with mild detergent and water are all important steps. It's also essential to monitor the carpet for any signs of mold or lingering moisture and address them promptly.

By following these tips and seeking professional help when needed, homeowners can increase the chances of restoring their water-damaged carpets and maintaining a clean and healthy living environment.

Thank you again for sharing these insights and helping homeowners tackle the challenges of water-damaged carpets.

Fantastic tips on removing water damage from carpets! Dealing with water damage can be a stressful situation, especially when it affects your carpets. Here are some additional tips to help you effectively remove water damage from your carpet:

Act Quickly: Time is of the essence when it comes to water damage. The sooner you start the restoration process, the better chance you have of saving your carpet. Promptly addressing water damage can prevent mold growth and further damage to the carpet fibers.

Remove Excess Water: Begin by extracting as much water as possible from the carpet. You can use a wet/dry vacuum or towels to soak up the excess moisture. Remember to work gently and avoid rubbing the carpet, as it can cause the fibers to fray or become damaged.

Dry the Area: Proper drying is crucial to prevent mold and mildew growth. Use fans, open windows, and dehumidifiers to facilitate air circulation and speed up the drying process. You can also consider using a carpet dryer or professional-grade drying equipment for larger areas or severe water damage.

Treat Stains and Odors: Water damage can leave behind stains and unpleasant odors on your carpet. Treat any visible stains with a carpet stain remover or a mixture of water and mild detergent. For lingering odors, sprinkle baking soda over the affected area, let it sit for a few hours, and then vacuum it up.

Steam Clean or Hire Professionals: Once the carpet is completely dry, consider steam cleaning it to remove any remaining dirt, debris, or bacteria. Steam cleaning can also help restore the carpet's appearance and freshness. If the water damage is extensive or you're unsure about handling the restoration yourself, it's best to hire professional water damage restoration experts. They have the expertise, equipment, and knowledge to thoroughly clean and restore your carpet.

Prevent Future Damage: Take preventive measures to avoid future water damage to your carpets. Address any plumbing leaks or issues promptly, ensure proper ventilation in moisture-prone areas, and consider using waterproof mats or rugs in high-risk areas like entrances or kitchens.

Remember, safety should always come first. If you're dealing with extensive water damage, electrical hazards, or contaminated water, it's advisable to seek professional assistance.

By following these tips and acting quickly, you can increase the chances of salvaging your carpet and restoring it to its former glory. However, if the damage is severe or the carpet is heavily saturated, it may be necessary to replace the carpet altogether.
