Yes, we can. Flash flood water often carries contaminants, so quick removal is critical. We’ll extract the water using truck-mounted equipment, then apply cleaning solutions to sanitize the carpet and pad. Depending on the severity, we may recommend replacing the pad, but we can often clean and restore the carpet itself. Our low-moisture process helps dry the area faster, reducing the risk of mold.

Signs of damage include a musty smell, visible mold spots, or the carpet feeling damp days after the leak. If water sits for more than 24–48 hours, it can wick up into the carpet fibers and pad. Our team can do a moisture test and inspect the carpet backing. If the pad is saturated and starting to fall apart, it may need replacement. We’ll give you an honest assessment and clean what can be saved.
