Quick Takeaways
- Wet carpet is time-sensitive because moisture can support mold and bacteria.
- Clean water, gray water, and contaminated water require different decisions.
- Some flooded carpet should be replaced rather than cleaned.
Act quickly when carpet is wet
Water-damaged carpet is not the same as carpet that is damp after cleaning. A leak, overflow, or flood can wet the pad and subfloor, creating a moisture problem that needs drying decisions fast.
The source of the water matters. Clean water from a supply line is different from storm water, sewage, or long-standing water.
