Signs to look for

When to call us for carpet extraction

As the coordinated steps continue, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

The volume in the floor is larger than it looks

From the first status check, a saturated cushion holds roughly a gallon of water for every 10 square feet of floor.

The carpet feels cool and heavy but not obviously wet

With the scene stabilized, cut pile carpet wicks water up and evaporates from the tips, so the surface reads dry.

A dark tide line runs along the base of the wall

Carpet pulls water outward and upward at the perimeter line line. That line marks how far the water traveled after it stopped moving on its own.

The carpet has lifted off the tack strip in a corner

To keep the incident under control, wet carpet gets heavy and pulls free of the tack strip pins.

A seam has opened or is peaking

From the first status check, seam tape is held with adhesive that softens when it stays wet.

The backing feels gritty or crunchy underfoot

To keep the incident under control, latex adhesive between the face and the secondary backing breaks down as it stays wet.

What happens

How we take command of carpet extraction

Our incident command team adjusts the work to which materials took on water, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

A moisture read through the whole assembly

As the coordinated steps continue, our responders check the pile, the pad and the subfloor with a moisture meter before starting. With the scene stabilized, the reading through to the deck decides the method, not how wet the surface feels.

Passes that reach the backing, not the pile

To keep the incident under control, a weighted extraction tool presses the carpet and cushion into the vacuum slot so water leaves the backing.

The float or pad pull decision

With the scene stabilized, floating means detaching one edge and pushing air between the carpet and the cushion.

Perimeter line line and detail extraction

With the scene stabilized, water concentrates at the walls and under the tack strip line, where a big tool cannot sit flat.

Seam and stretch protection while we work

To keep the incident under control, we keep tools off open seams and support loose edges instead of dragging on them.

Drying equipment sized to the assembly

With the scene stabilized, air movers are placed to sweep the surface or the space under a floated carpet, and an Professional dehumidifier removes that moisture from the air.

What to expect

What to expect from our incident command team

As the coordinated steps continue, here is how we usually handle carpet extraction near Massachusetts.

1
Let our dispatcher know how deep and how long

To keep the incident under control, say how much water is on the carpet, what it came from, and how many hours it has been there.
Your call
2
Stay off it and get the furniture up

From the first status check, walking on soaked carpet drives water deeper into the pad and stresses the backing.
+5 minutes
3
Read the assembly and set the incident plan

As the coordinated steps continue, a technician meters the pile, the pad and the subfloor and checks the seams and the tack strip.
On arrival
4
Gross extraction on the free water

To keep the incident under control, the truck mounted extractor pulls the standing volume out of the assembly first.
First hour on site
5
Slow weighted passes until it stops giving water

Weighted and self propelled tools work the room in overlapping slow passes, then the perimeter line line and closets get detailed.
Day 1
6
Carpet floated or pad removed, then equipment set

With the scene stabilized, if we float, an edge is detached and air is pushed between the carpet and the pad.
Day 1, evening
7
Daily readings through carpet, pad and deck

From the first status check, the same points get read every visit and logged, including the subfloor under the assembly.
Day 2 to 3

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

As the coordinated steps continue, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As the coordinated steps continue, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Carpet and pad extraction, one to two rooms, pad left in place	To keep the incident under control, national estimate for the extraction stage only. As the coordinated steps continue, drying equipment is billed separately per unit per day.	$350 to $1,000
Carpet extraction priced by area, clean water	With the scene stabilized, national estimate for the mechanical extraction stage on typical residential carpet and cushion.	$1 to $3 per square foot
Whole floor of wet carpet, three or more rooms	As the coordinated steps continue, national estimate for extraction across a connected carpeted floor, before drying equipment and cleaning.	$700 to $2,500
Drying equipment only, one carpeted room, three days	National estimate for the deployed equipment line alone, based on typical air mover and dehumidifier day rates.	$300 to $700
Hot water extraction cleaning after drying, per square foot	With the scene stabilized, national estimate for cleaning and grooming the carpet once the assembly is verified dry.	$0.25 to $0.60
Reattach and stretch a floated carpet, per square foot	As the coordinated steps continue, national estimate covering laying the carpet back on the tack strip, stretching and minor seam repair.	$0.60 to $1.50

Square footage of wet carpet
We measure the wet zone with a meter, which is often smaller than the room. Water spreads unevenly and stops where the pad stops taking it.
How saturated the pad is
From the first status check, a damp assembly takes a couple of passes. With the scene stabilized, a pad holding standing water takes many slow passes and more equipment days.
Float versus pad removal
Floating keeps your carpet and pad in place and saves material cost. Pad removal adds tear out, disposal and new cushion, but often shortens the sequenced drying by a day.
Carpet construction
To keep the incident under control, cut pile releases water readily under a weighted tool.
Access and furniture
From the first status check, stairs, tight hallways and heavily furnished rooms slow the tool down.
Equipment days
To keep the incident under control, air movers run roughly $25 to $40 per unit per day and Professional dehumidifiers roughly $70 to $110 per unit per day.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

From the first status check, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

The backing delaminates and the carpet is done

To keep the incident under control, latex adhesive holding the face to the secondary backing softens and lets go when it stays wet.

Jute backing shrinks and never fits again

To keep the incident under control, older carpets and many rugs use jute backing, which shrinks hard as it dries.

Seams open and edges have to be reworked

To keep the incident under control, seam tape adhesive fails after a day or two under water.

Wicking pulls stains up from the pad

To keep the incident under control, as the assembly dries, water travels up through the fibers and carries old soil with it.

Helpful service information

What to know about carpet extraction

With the scene stabilized, start with the short explanation. From the first status check, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

From the first status check, the slot has to seat flat so it seals against the secondary backing, because that is the layer holding the water.

Read the explanation

As the coordinated steps continue, carpet extraction is decided at the vacuum slot. From the first status check, the slot has to seat flat so it seals against the secondary backing, because that is the layer holding the water.

How the next step is decided

With the scene stabilized, one edge comes off the tack strip, then an air mover is aimed into the gap so dry air travels between the carpet and the pad.

Read the explanation

As the coordinated steps continue, floating a carpet is the technique that saves both layers. With the scene stabilized, one edge comes off the tack strip, then an air mover is aimed into the gap so dry air travels between the carpet and the pad.

What may change the work

With the scene stabilized, the face yarn is tufted through a primary backing, then a secondary backing is bonded on with latex adhesive.

Read the explanation

To keep the incident under control, carpet is built in layers, and water attacks the glue between them.

Common questions

Questions about carpet extraction

Can wet carpet be saved?

From the first status check, usually yes when the water was clean and we reach it within a day or two.

What does floating the carpet mean?

From the first status check, we detach one edge from the tack strip and blow air between the carpet and the pad.

How do you decide whether to float or pull the pad?

With the scene stabilized, water cleanliness first, then how saturated the cushion is, then the value of the carpet.

How long does carpet extraction take?

From the first status check, the extraction itself is usually a few hours on one to two rooms.

Can I dry the carpet myself?

To keep the incident under control, a shop vacuum handles surface water up to about an inch and never reaches the backing. With the scene stabilized, home machines lack the weight and vacuum to pull water from the pad.

Will walking on wet carpet make it worse?

To keep the incident under control, yes. From the first status check, foot traffic drives water deeper into the cushion and stresses the backing and the seams.

What is carpet layers separating?

From the first status check, it is the face of the carpet separating from its secondary backing, because the latex adhesive between them failed.
