Treatment is applied to clean, dry surfaces, so it does not trap moisture under the carpet.

A wet-dog or musty smell from the carpet usually means the pad or backing is holding water.

Seams that peel or carpet edges that lift from the tack strip point to moisture underneath.

Spongy or Soggy Carpet Texture

Carpet that feels spongy or squishes underfoot is sitting on soaked pad.
