Water damaged carpets need to be dealt with quickly or else a mold infestation will result. Call SERVPRO to assess and dry out the area.

Dallas homeowners trust SERVPRO to tackle water cleanup from saturated carpets

The type of water saturating the carpets in your Dallas home will play a significant role in how SERVPRO handles the cleanup. No matter the kind of flooding you have, we have proven methods to leave everything “Like it never even happened.”

Water cleanup in Dallas when your carpet is involved means determining the best way to proceed. We break down water contamination into three categories:

• Category 1 water is clean, often coming from your plumbing or supply line
• Category 2 water is dirty, coming from appliances like a dishwasher, water heater, or washing machine
• Category 3 water is contaminated, often coming from sewage, outdoor flooding, and more

Keep in mind that any water sitting for too long can become dirty and bacterial growth will fester. We get to work fast using our extraction equipment, pumps, and vacuums to pull up as much water as possible. Whether or not our technicians can salvage your carpet will depend on several critical factors, including:

• The age of the carpeting and padding below
• The type of installation
• The category of water that has come into contact with it
• And other essential factors unique to the situation

SERVPRO of Northwest Dallas is the team to call when you need water cleanup to dry carpeting throughout your home. Call us 24 hours a day at (214) 361-7887 to have a team dispatched to your property to begin the assessment.
