Water Removal Strategies for Carpet and Upholstery by SERVPRO®

Carpets and furniture are among the most commonly affected surfaces in Dallas homes when water damage strikes. Upholstery and carpet fibers can experience swelling, stains, odors, and potential mold growth that can impact the comfort and longevity of fibers and fabrics in the home.

Home water restoration rendered by Dallas SERVPRO professionals can eliminate excess moisture and restore carpet and upholstery fibers to a pre-disaster condition. SERVPRO’s commitment to around-the-clock availability can minimize water exposure time for homeowners’ belongings.

How Water Affects Carpeting and Upholstery

Water damage can have extensive effects on fibers like carpeting, curtains, and upholstery fabric, including the following:

• Staining and spreading fabric dyes to other surfaces
• Swelling of fibers affects the structural integrity of carpeting and can delaminate the pad underneath
• Water can rust or tarnish upholstery screws and warp wood framing in furniture

This damage requires specialized care to preserve furnishings, which SERVPRO can provide to return the property to a prior condition.
