SERVPRO Can Often Restore Carpets to a Good Quality Following Water Damage in Monmouth Junction

Water impacts the structure of a carpet in two ways. The primary causes for concern are delamination and latex deterioration. Delamination is when the backing for the rug begins to separate. Latex deterioration occurs as a result of age and exposure to natural gases or moisture. Latex connects carpet fibers to the carpet backing.

When performing water damage restoration in Monmouth Junction, it is essential to recognize that carpets are often a core area of potential damage. A wet carpet can be up to 50% weaker when it is wet. Over-extraction or detaching of a carpet can cause delamination to occur. This usually results in requiring a complete replacement of the carpet.

• Nylon cut carpets are among the most saveable and respond well to general water extraction, carpet floating, and reinstallation. 
• Multi-layered carpets such as Olefin Berber carpets are among the most challenging to restore as the extraction process is slow. 
• Carpet pads almost always need to be replaced following a water intrusion incident.

We can often return carpets to a good condition. Contact SERVPRO of East Brunswick / Princeton Meadows for water damage restoration at (732) 432-9800.
