​These types of fungi can grow on the carpet fibers and can cause a musty smell and may be harmful to your health. Drying the carpet will also help to prevent the carpet from becoming discolored or damaged.

​ If the carpet is not dried properly, it may become stiff and difficult to clean. In order to dry wet carpet, you can use a wet/dry vacuum, a fan, or a dehumidifier to help remove the moisture from the carpet. You can also place towels or rags on the wet area and walk on them to help absorb the moisture.

Here's How To Dry Out Carpet

Here are some steps you can take to dry out a wet carpet:

1. Remove standing water: Use a wet/dry vacuum to remove as much standing water as possible from the room.
2. Extract water from the carpet: Use a water extraction machine, such as a professional grade we vac, to remove water from the carpet itself.
3. Dry the carpet: Use fans, dehumidifiers, and air movers to help dry out the carpet and the surrounding area.
4. Use absorbent materials: Place absorbent materials such as dry towels or blankets over the wet areas of the carpet to help absorb the remaining water.
5. Lift the carpet: If the carpet is wet throughout, it may be necessary to lift it off the floor, exposing the underneath area and the padding. If possible, remove the carpet or rug and dry separately. This can be done by hanging it over a railing or a clothesline, or by placing it on a flat surface in a well-ventilated area.
6. Check for moisture: As professionals we use a moisture meter to check the carpet and the floor underneath for moisture. If the carpet or the floor is still wet, continue drying it until it is completely dry.

It is important to act quickly to dry out a wet carpet, as it can become a breeding ground for mold and other types of damage if it is left wet for too long. If you are unable to properly dry out the carpet, or if it has been severely damaged, it may be necessary to replace it. Also, your insurance company may be willing to pay our company to come do a professional job for you. Call for more info.
