Does SERVPRO Replace Wet Carpets After a Water Leak in AVON Residences

After a water leak in a residential home in Avon, many clients anticipate the carpets and underpads will need to be replaced. The carpet may be completely soaked, down to the underpad and the subfloor. Every time someone walks across the floor, they hear the squish of water, and the room may be very humid.

SERVPRO provides water damage restoration to clients in Avon and the surrounding area. After a water leak, many customers assume that they will have to replace their carpets even if they are brand new! We work with the client and their insurance adjuster to assess the best approach. In many cases, it is faster and less expensive to dry the carpet and underpad using our weighted water extractors, air movers, and dehumidifiers.

There are situations where the carpeting and the underpad must be replaced. Several of these conditions include the following cases:

  • Older heavily trafficked carpets may delaminate and separate, contributing to ripples in the carpet
  • Colors from items on the carpet leach into the carpet, leaving a permanent stain
  • Stains picked up from construction materials may not be removed from the carpet
  • The underpad may disintegrate after becoming wet

SERVPRO will perform a complete inspection and provide details to the client and the insurance adjuster to facilitate a decision regarding the best approach. Our weighted water extractors and dehumidifiers can remove all of the water and return humidity levels in the home to normal levels. We can also assist with the replacement if needed and any restoration required due to water leaks inside walls and ceilings.
