Water damage can have many consequences. If you have experienced some water damage to your home it may be due to flooding or a broken pipe. Note that those who experience flooding and power outages both at the same time are very susceptible to seeing a development of mold growth in their homes. If the water damaged carpets in Tarpon are caused by clean water spillage or a minor leak from a water line, you could safely attempt the cleanup yourself. When you use fans to dry out your carpets, the process will move faster. Note that it often does require quite a few days for fans to be able to dry completely an area that has been damaged by water. These fans also help to circulate the air, which is needed in water damaged areas. You must also use at least one dehumidifier to get out as much water as you can. The more equipment that you use, the better chances you are to be successful in salvaging the carpets while reducing potential mold growth. Now you want to take every precaution that no mold begins to grow since it does not require a lot of water to kick start the production of unsightly, musty smelling, and unhealthy mold. You will need some fans, a dehumidifier, don't use bleach, some rags, and some cleaners. It does take a lot of work and effort to get rid of the mold, but is it worth it? It is primarily a lot of scrubbing with chemicals and getting things dried out. So, yes, this will require you to be down on your hands and knees a lot to tackle every area. Unfortunately, the above scenario is not very accurate. Bleach and chemicals may not eradicate mold colonies, and training, experience, and the use of industrial grade pumps, air movers, and dehumidifiers are the ticket to success. You can do your part to inhibit the growth of mold by getting things that have been damaged by water dried out as quickly as you can, which includes addressing the wet carpets as well. The sooner that a good clean up after water damage has occurred, the more quickly mold can be prevented from growing beneath your carpet. Consider this. If the carpet and padding are saturated with Black Water (sewage or other highly contaminated water), the professionals from SERVPRO can safely remove and then discard these items. We will wear safety Hazmat clothing and gear for this procedure. Irreversible contamination dictates no other option. Be safe and be healthy. When your carpets, furniture, and walls are too wet, and you feel it is beyond you to remedy the wetness, call SERVPRO to complete the water damage restoration for you.
