The Carpet Pad Water Extraction Process in Highlands Ranch
Emergency Carpet Pad Water Extraction
Help is available any hour, because pad soaks up water quickly and holds it against the subfloor, where damage spreads out of sight.
Carpet Pad Moisture Inspection
Moisture meters check the pad and subfloor through the carpet to find how far water spread, often well past the visible wet spot.

Soaked pad is cut out in sections, rolled and bagged. Pad is inexpensive and holds water for a long time, so replacing it is often the practical choice.
Carpet Pad Drying Services
Pad drying is checked with readings daily. If it does not dry in a few days, it is removed and replaced.
Carpet Pad Mold Prevention Treatment

Bubbles or Wrinkles in Carpet
Carpet that wrinkles, ripples or bubbles has loosened from the tack strips, often because the pad and backing got wet.
