South of Boston, Cape Cod and The Islands: What Can Be Done For Water Damaged Carpet?

June 10, 2011 by · 1 Comment 

“My mother bought these rugs when she was traveling in Morocco in the sixties,” Doreen explained.  “They’ve been in my family for almost fifty years!”  She looked up at the ceiling in her apartment.  The neighbors upstairs have a teenage girl who started a bath and then completely forgot about it. “I guess her boyfriend called her and out the door she went! So that tub was running for hours!”  The water overflowed, of course, and seeped through the floor. Chunks of the ceiling collapsed onto Doreen’s rugs.  “And there was a lot of water! Up to my ankles!” Doreen said.

What can be done for water damaged carpet? Doreen called for ServiceMaster’s Cape Cod water pump out services to get the excessive water out of her apartment.  “That didn’t take them long at all,” Doreen said, “But you wouldn’t believe how filthy the rugs were afterward!”

Professional carpet cleaning services can  help restore your floor coverings after a flood event. Wall to wall carpeting and area rugs can be cleaned.  Your ServiceMaster South Shore’s professional cleaning service on Cape Cod will remove all of the flood water from the room, and then clean the carpet and rugs thoroughly.  This is done using specialized techniques and tools that will preserve the life of your carpeting. After the carpet and rugs are completely dried, an antimicrobial is applied to discourage the growth of mold and mildew.  This keeps your family healthy and safe from common allergens. “I was so happy to save Mother’s rugs!” Doreen said. “These were so important to her, and they’re treasures to me.”

Cleaning your carpets after a flood event is definitely not a do it yourself job.  First and foremost there’s a safety issue.  Flood waters are full of dirt, grease, grime, chemical compounds and more.  Don’t expose yourself to the risk! Next, it’s essential to remove all of the water.  This requires high powered pumps.  Professional carpet cleaning can remove the grime and nasty residue that flood waters have left embedded deep in your carpet.  Your room will look and smell great.

If you’re a business owner or commercial property owner in Eastern Massachusetts, you know that life can be stressful.  There are any number of things that can damage your property: fire, flooding, criminal activity, badly behaved customers or tenants. You can’t afford to have your building or businesses out of commission — in today’s tight economic situation, none of us can afford to lose sales or rents — so it’s essential to get your building or business restored and repaired as quickly as possible.

Commercial Disaster Restoration Services

Whether you’re a restaurateur facing down the aftermath of a kitchen fire; a retailer looking at carpeting, flooring, and inventory ruined by flood waters; or a landlord who needs to get units back in rentable condition as fast as possible, there are disaster restoration services to help.

Water damage can be caused by a flood, leaking or burst pipes, or fire fighters battling the flames.  Water damage restoration involves removing all of the water – far faster and more completely than can be managed with the typical shop vac – applying anti-microbial treatment to retard mildew and mold growth, and using a range of methods to dry things out completely.

Fire, soot, and smoke damage in the commercial setting can be significant. It can be overwhelming to look at the charred and blackened interior of your business and even think about how this can all be restored to an appealing state.  However, the professionals of ServiceMaster South Shore are experts in understanding the chemical combinations that can effectively clean and salvage belongings. They can even remove soot from at-risk items such as brass, aluminum, chrome, marble, tile, and porcelain as well as fabrics in upholstery and carpets, thus helping to avoid additional expenses.  Preserving fixtures, carpeting, upholstered items and other parts of your business spares you the expense of replacing these items at a particularly vulnerable time in your business’ life.
