Drying & Dehumidification Services in Bridgewater, Bound Brook, Edison

During any water emergency, water naturally can seep into your carpet, carpet padding and subfloors. One of the most carpet damage problems caused by water and moisture is carpet delamination. Moisture can weaken the glue and cause the secondary backing to separate from the primary backing, causing the carpet to wrinkle or pucker. Flooding and water damage can also lead to harmful mold growth on and under carpets. To help prevent these problems, we have powerful vacuums and pumps to extract water from the carpet and padding. We then use dehumidifiers to remove excess moisture and speed up drying time. Finally, we use a powerful steam cleaner to sanitize and deodorize.

Drying hardwood floors that have been damaged by water requires special knowledge. Water damage or too much moisture can cause hardwood floors to cup. Cupping is when the sides of the wood floor swell, creating an uneven surface. Mold can also grow between floorboards and in the subfloor. Wood floors can typically be saved with proper water removal and drying. Improper drying techniques can cause a wood floor to crack and using the wrong equipment can leave scratches or damage the finish, adding to the cost of the restoration. Our technicians are highly trained and use state-of-the-art equipment to safely dry your hardwood flooring and subflooring.
