Why Immediate Mitigation Matters
Water intrusion can strike quickly and devastate: carpet fibers can warp, mold can begin colonizing within just 24–48 hours, and structural elements may weaken.
—-That’s why our response is swift and strategic:
Our Four-Step Mitigation Process
- Secure and Assess the Situation
- Stop the water at its source (e.g., shut off valves, consult a plumber if needed).
- Ensure safety first: turn off electricity if water impacts outlets or appliances—since water and electricity are a dangerous mix.
- Quick Water Extraction & Removal
- Use professional-grade pumps and wet/dry vacuums (not household vacuums) to extract standing water efficiently.
- Remove furniture and items from the affected area to prevent further damage and allow for proper drying.
- Drying & Dehumidification
- Deploy high-powered air movers, dehumidifiers, and fans to accelerate drying.
- Monitor moisture levels using meters or infrared tools and adjust our equipment placement daily for optimal results.
- Cleaning, Sanitizing & Final Inspection
- Clean and sanitize affected surfaces to prevent mold growth and lingering odors.
- Provide a final moisture report and walkthrough—ensuring the treated area stabilizes below 15% moisture and is safe for reconstruction or carpet reinstallation.
Don’t Wait—Act Now
Water damage doesn’t wait—and neither should you. Early mitigation saves time, cost, and future headaches. Trust Sellin Clean Carpets for fast, certified, and compassionate service you can rely on.
