Weighted Extractors Can Preserve Marysville Saturated Carpeting

Carpeting can become a quickly damaged element in your Marysville home when flooding begins. Even without widespread damage to contend with, your carpets can absorb moisture and small amounts of spreading water to soak through to subflooring and even joists and supports below. Protecting both your carpets and these structural supports involves a fast response and the employment of useful extraction tools specific to this scenario.

Our SERVPRO team has invested in our inventory of recovery tools and in the training of our growing roster of local talent to overcome water and flood damage in Marysville homes as it happens. We keep production trailers stocked with extraction tools and drying implements that far exceed what you might expect. While we can provide portable pumps and even truck-mount extractors that arrive with the Green Fleet, another useful tool is the weighted extraction rigs that we roll out in damaged homes.

Weighted extractors are a specialty unit that our SERVPRO professionals use to force moisture to the surface of your carpeting. With remote controlling, we can better ensure that the entire affected area gets this moisture removal effort. The weight of the unit rolls over carpeting and subflooring materials to force water and moisture to the surface for an onboard vacuum to collect.

Depending on the type of flooding that your home contends with, you might not see the weighted extraction tool at all. Our team must determine contamination levels and whether it benefits our customer and the overall restoration of the home to remove damaged portions of carpeting and padding to better dry out and disinfect the subflooring, supports, and framework. If this flooring gets removed, we focus most on the use of our air movers and dehumidification units to collectively force moisture into the environment and collect it for removal.

As much as we always seek to preserve before replacing, this is not always a practical approach when flooding has damaged portions of carpeted floors. Our SERVPRO of Marysville / Arlington team has effective strategies and efficient tools to save our customers time and money on mitigation and restoration work.
