Able to Save Carpet After Heavy Rains in Cross Plains, WI

This was a storm water loss due to heavy rains in Cross Plains, Wisconsin.  As is often the case, water coming from outside due to rains and flooding is not typically covered by most insurance policies.  We removed the wet pad floor of the carpet, removed trim, drilled holes to enhance the drying process and dried the structure. By floating the carpet in place, we were able to dry it and save it.  

Many Madison area homes are susceptible to water losses from heavy rains. When these mishaps occur ruined flooring can be expensive to replace, but SERVPRO can help by performing professional carpet drying techniques following the guidelines of the IICRC. Carpets that remain fairly uncontaminated from external sources can be salvaged if the restoration process begins soon after the storm is over. SERVPRO of Dane County West is well-known for being Faster To Any Size Disaster, helping reduce the damage that is caused by the combination of the initial incident and a ticking clock. Waiting to respond to any disaster your home experiences only allows the damage to increase, and carpets soaked by rain can be one of the worst disasters a home might have. 
 
Wet carpeting can lead to other kinds of damage. These can include mold growth, structural deficiencies in the underlay, absorption of moisture by more porous materials in the area, seeping of water into lower levels of the home, and warping or bubbling of the carpeting itself. Drying the wet carpeting as soon as possible can prevent these situations from becoming a reality, and can potentially save the carpet as well.
