Water damage in your Wantagh home? Don’t let moisture take over, call SERVPRO right away.

Our SERVPRO Teams know exactly what your carpets need after a water incident.

Water damages can be an overwhelming experience for Wantagh homeowners, especially when it comes to the cleaning that is necessary after the drying completes. Even with clean water incidents, saturation and standing water concerns can leave residues and even staining on sensitive surfaces and contents in your home. Carpets can often show the worst of discoloration or residues after water damage, and that is what makes proper cleaning of this flooring a wise investment after restoration.

While water cleanup for Wantagh homes can encompass dozens of tasks, the way that your property looks after a loss incident is as important to homeowners as ensuring that structural elements get protected. Therefore, our SERVPRO team always fixates on all of the necessary cleaning steps necessary to return your house to preloss condition after any loss incident. For carpeted flooring, this could mean a few different approaches.

Removing the water from the carpeted floors might not have been a complicated procedure between the use of our powerful carpet wands and floating the flooring by placing air movers between the upper layer and the padding, but what remains now needs a deep cleaning to improve the look and feel of the fibers on the floor. While many tools and products can fit into this niche of our premium cleaning services, deluxe pretreatment and hot water extraction are often the most thorough choice.

Preconditioning the carpet allows for residues and any sediment compacted against the base of the carpet fibers to loosen before hot water extraction begins. Using a powerful pressurized blast of water combined with a forceful vacuum, we can push water into the farthest point of the carpet and remove it as quickly. After the residues and even discoloration that water damages can leave behind, this treatment can overcome these lingering effects.

While there are many levels of cleaning up after a water loss incident, improving the look and feel of carpeted floors can leave a lasting impression for your business once our SERVPRO of Bellmore / Wantagh team completes the restoration. Give us a call anytime at (516) 809-9600.
