Flood damaged carpet
Question: Can flood damaged carpet ever be salvageable?
Answer: Flooded carpet can be salvaged if the source of the water is clean i.e. water line break, tub overflow or washing machine hose leak. The other important factor is that the correct drying procedures are followed. Carpet that is flooded by water that is not clean i.e. sewage, river or lake water should not be saved and dealt with on a professional level. Sewage water can be especially dangerous to humans and animals because of the bacteria and pathogens
