Is your home affected by water damage? SERVPRO is prepared with restoration equipment and plenty of experienced technicians.

SERVPRO Techs Can Handle All Types of Water Damage in Lenexa Homes

A wet carpet may seem pretty straightforward, but there can be many issues caused by water saturating the fibers. Not all carpets are the same, and SERVPRO technicians have several methods to determine the best procedure to follow.

The technicians test carpets in Lenexa properties before water restoration goes forward. This simple first step can avoid additional damage that can show up in the form of: 

Shrinkage of the carpet

• Deterioration of the backing
• Bleeding of dyes
• The ruination of the fibers

The techs extract the water and then use drying methods that best fit the carpet type. If bleeding may be an issue, other articles around the carpet get packed out to ensure nothing comes into contact. Tenting to focus the warm, dry air is another common drying tactic. Floating the carpet where one side is loosened so air can get delivered underneath works to dry the carpet rapidly and minimize potential secondary issues.
