The ability to restore flooring materials typically depends on two important details:

1. Category of water, or the level of contamination
2. The scope of the affected area, or how much of the flooring is damaged and how long the flooring has been in contact with water.

The variables of category and percentage of affected area vary based on the type of water damage in your home. A flooding from a storm that left behind standing water for a long period of time will have different that a smaller leak that led to quick water extraction from a restoration team.

Carpet Replacement After Water Damage

This is due to the rapid rate at which mold grows on wet materials. Restorative drying refers to the process of extracting moisture, rolling, and dehumidification to dry out a structure.
