Wet Carpet Pad Removal Services
After the pad comes out, tack strips are checked and replaced if they are wet, stained or rusted.
Carpet Pad Mold Prevention Treatment
Tack strips and subfloor edges along walls are checked closely, since they often stay wet the longest.
Emergency Carpet Pad Water Extraction
Emergency extraction starts right after the source is stopped, beginning with the wettest areas near the leak.
