Wet Carpet Drying in Garland, TX
Soaked carpet dries from the pad up, or it starts to smell.
What is wet carpet drying?
Wet carpet needs deep extraction, then drying of the carpet, the pad and the floor underneath. Fans alone dry the top and leave the pad wet, which leads to odor and mold. Clean-water carpet can often be saved, but soaked pad is usually replaced, and carpet touched by sewage or floodwater is removed.

How long does wet carpet take to dry?
With professional extraction and equipment, usually two to four days. With household fans, the pad can stay wet much longer.
