Complete Carpet Pad Water Extraction Solutions for Arnold

Carpet Pad Drying Services

When pad can stay, as with clean water caught early, air is blown under the lifted carpet to dry the pad and subfloor together.

Emergency Carpet Pad Water Extraction

Help is available any hour, because pad soaks up water quickly and holds it against the subfloor, where damage spreads out of sight.

Subfloor Drying After Pad Removal

Drying the subfloor fully before new pad goes down keeps odors and stains from coming back through the carpet.

Readings are recorded before removal and during drying, giving a clear record for your insurer.
