WILMETTE RUG WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION
Water may not seem to be a harmful substance to area rugs and carpeting, but it can actually cause significant damage. It’s easy to assume that any water that infiltrates onto carpets or rugs can simply be left to dry naturally, but doing so can cause a number of unexpected consequences. In fact, letting water naturally dry on rugs or carpets can cause far more damage than any effort to get that water out right away.

Water Damage Restoration For Rugs In Wilmette, ILThe main factor to consider when talking about rug water damage and restoration is to understand that there are many different types of water stains and pollution. There are many different types of water, in other words. As an example, let’s say you’re traveling in an RV. The water you shower with is perfectly fine for your skin (gray water), but you wouldn’t drink it. It may not be potable, in other words.
Some water contains far more bacteria than other types of water. You may have water running through the pipes in your house, but perhaps you run it through a filter before it reaches the faucet in the sink where you might drink tap water without a second thought. However, if there is a break in the pipe or even a simple leak, that water is running down the outside of the pipe, possibly along the walls, across different types of wood, and then seeping underneath the walls and reaching your rug. Suddenly, that water is highly polluted with bacteria and not something most people would drink. On top of that, the longer water sits, especially in a damp, dark place, the more likely mold and mildew can result. You may not see mold along the rug fibers, especially if it has intricate patterns and designs, but if you pick the corner of the rug up that was exposed to water for too long, you might see the unmistakable evidence of little black or bluish dots. |
