Water Damage in Short Pile Carpets of Bridgewater Offices

Short pile carpeting is a common choice for many office buildings throughout Bridgewater because it is easier to maintain the look and function even years after its installation. Even with thinner material like this, dirt and debris can still collect at the fibers' base, and the material can still act as an absorbent magnet for water loss incidents. Our qualified technicians' fast response in emergencies can help protect this flooring material from requiring replacement.

While there are many conventional approaches with our leading equipment to address commercial water damage in your Bridgewater office, overcoming the saturation of short pile carpeting requires a specific arrangement of recovery equipment. Extraction is a primary concern in these situations, as this can help limit oversaturation of subflooring and supports. Prolonged exposure in these areas can lead to degradation.

When our SERVPRO Green Fleet rolls out from our warehouse, we have an assortment of water recovery tools and equipment to help us begin mitigation work immediately. With pooling and standing water on carpeted areas, a vital machine that we use is our remote-controlled weighted extractor. This unit can easily maneuver through open office space and force moisture and saturation to the surface for removal by a high-powered onboard vacuum.

Getting this material dry as quickly as possible is vital to prevent secondary effects like mold growth. With naturally existing mold spores in the office space, colonization can begin in as little as 72 hours. We uninstall the edges of carpeted floors and place our air movers between the material and the subflooring to float the carpeting and dry it and the materials beneath it.

With the standard carpeting installation in office spaces, water loss incidents almost always feature a need to recover these areas before they get too badly damaged to preserve. Our
