Carpet Damage After Water Disasters in Your Simsbury Office

Give our technicians and contractors a call to help you make water disasters “Like it never even happened,” for your business.

Flooring Damage in Your Simsbury Property Can be a Challenging Obstacle to Overcome, But Our SERVPRO Team Has Thorough Extraction and Mitigation Approaches.

Carpeting is a standard installation for Simsbury office complexes and structures, specifically because of its low maintenance and aesthetic appeal. Regular vacuuming can reduce the need for professional cleaning, but these materials can also be susceptible to rapid saturation when standing water becomes a concern after a disaster like a broken sprinkler head or main water burst. It is possible to extract water from these materials like a glue-down carpet with the fast application of powerful tools and technologies in our inventory, such as:

•   Carpet Wands
•   Light Wands
•   Weighted Extractors
•   Wet Vacuums

Glue-down carpeting is a lower-cost installation for flooring solutions in an office but can often lead to water damage repair in Simsbury structures after a disaster. Extraction is not always feasible or productive, especially when there are delays in getting professional restorers like our SERVPRO team on site. Often, when the top layer and the underlying padding are both saturated, it is more cost-efficient to allow our contractors to remove this material entirely and reinstall it after the mitigation phase. This removal allows for more direct drying, but it can also prevent time wasted on materials that can get reinstalled for less money than the time it takes to dry and clean them.

What if the Subflooring Appears Saturated?

Often, office complexes have concrete subflooring materials. These low-permeance materials can resist saturation for extended periods but are not impermeable. When moisture impacts these surfaces, it is often possible to draw it out with floor mat drying systems placed in specific affected points to avoid costlier demolition and reconstruction.

The carpeting might be a standard installation for your office structure, but it can also be one of the first to get removed by controlled demolition after prolonged exposures.
