1st Steps
Your initial steps are dependent on the extent of your flood situation. Always make sure you are protected from electrocution by not touching any electrical devices in the flooded area until your mains electricity supply has been turned off , then call us at SuperClean. If it is safe to do so, move your possessions to a dry area, including coloured rugs and any oriental rugs as these may stain the carpet. Any other items that could potentially stain your carpet such as books and magazines should also be moved.
Urgency

More Steps to Consider
Move all furniture or any other loose items away from the wet carpet area. Any large furniture items you cannot move, place unpainted wood blocks or aluminum tin foil used for cooking purposes under the legs of this furniture. Remove hanging drapes and pin up furniture skirts to prevent watermarks or dye marks staining your carpet.

SuperClean Flood Restoration Process
Using our heavy duty wet vacuum, we will extract water from the damaged carpet. The extracted water is retained in a special holding tank for safe disposal away from your home or office. The carpet will need to be taken up so that the flooring underneath can be dried and cleaned. This is important to prevent the growth of mold and mildew. The carpet is then allowed to dry thoroughly lying down flat so that it will retain its dimensions, enabling it to be put back down easily later on. We use the services of a professional carpet layer.
