Sucking up water from wet carpet.

If you have had a water spill or an overflowing sink or bathtub and the water has soaked your carpets, then you will need to suck up the water from your wet carpets. The best way to do this will be with a wet vac, you can readily hire a wet vac from your local machinery hire store or even from your local hardware outlet.

Alternatively wet vacs are not all that expensive to purchase and are easily available at your local hardware store. If you do purchase your own wet vac machine, then you will most likely find it handed to help with various other cleaning tasks around the home.

Beware, never use a standard vacuum cleaner to suck up water, this is very dangerous and can end in disaster. You always need to use a wet vac or machinery specifically designed for water extraction.

• Never use a standard vacuum cleaner to suck up water
• Wet vacs are great for sucking up water from wet carpet
• You can hire a wet vac from your local hire yard.
• Go over the wet carpet a few times to suck up the water.

 

 

 

 

 

Suck up the water as fast as possible.

The faster you can suck up the water from wet carpets the better, if you leave the water on your carpet for too long it will soak into the sub-floor and will be extremely difficult to remove. The sooner you suck up the water the less water damage there will be to your wet carpets.

• Act fast and suck up the water from your wet carpets as quickly as you can.
• Fast action will limit the water damage to your carpets.

 

 

Soaking, wet carpet underlay.

Quite often when carpet is wet the water will soak underneath into the carpet underlay, in many cases the bulk of the water will end up trapped in this underlay which is beneath the carpet. It can be very difficult to suck up the water from the underlay therefore it can take quite a while for the wet underlay to properly dry.

By going over the top of the carpet with your wet vac will help as this water will continue to surface as you suck up the water from the top of the wet carpet. Take your time and suck up the water from the carpet numerous times for best results.

• Water can be trapped in the underlay underneath the wet carpet.
• Take your time and allow the water to surface from underneath the wet carpet.

 

Consider drying your wet carpet once you have sucked up the water.

Once you have sucked up the water from your wet carpets, we recommend you dry the carpets, you could do this by hiring a carpet blower or two from your local hire yard. If it’s a nice warm day open up the windows in your property and place the carpet blowers on the wet area of carpet.

If it’s only a small area of wet carpet then you could probably dry this yourself, however if it is a large area of wet carpet, we recommend engaging a professional water damage restoration company to take care of it for you.
