GLENCOE RUG WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION

Water damage is an invisible and frustrating foe. Moisture can silently creep into rugs, leaving no sign until the damage is already done. A spill or pet accident that is not properly treated can quickly morph into mold or mildew. The first sign of mold and mildew is the smell. If your carpet has become damp, or if you  notice a musty smell around your carpet, it’s time to take action. Begin by thoroughly airing out your carpet to help it dry. Next, give us a call so we can schedule a time to assess and treat the damage.  ​

Water Damage Restoration For Rugs In Glencoe, IL

If the damage is minimal, an at-home cleaning may work to stop mold and mildew and prevent new buildup. We recommend the following preventative steps to care for your rug:   
  • Vacuum your rugs. Rugs are prone to have dirt and dust ground into their fibers. Vacuuming regularly will help to remove dirt and will keep the pile from getting packed together, which can trap moisture. Vacuuming can also remove any surface moisture tracked in on shoes or pets.  
  • Check rugs regularly. If you live in an area with high humidity, or if your rugs are in an area prone to spills, check for moisture regularly. You can simply press your hand into a few areas of the carpet to see if the rug is damp. To check for deeper problems, lean in close and smell the rug. Does it smell musty? If so, you might have a problem.  
  • Hang them out to dry. We’ve already briefly mentioned this but it bears repeating. Rugs need fresh air, too! Hang your rugs outside at least once every six months, or anytime you notice dampness and moisture. This will give the rug time to thoroughly dry and will help to combat mold and mildew.  
If you experience extensive water damage or have significant mold and mildew, these at-home methods won’t work. You’ll need to call a professional. Our experts have years of experience in assessing and treating water damage in handcrafted rugs and high-quality machine woven rugs. We take water restoration very seriously. When you call us for help with water damage, you can expect the white-glove treatment.  ​

Area Rug Restoration

As soon as you identify water damage, it’s important to call immediately. The sooner water damage is treated, the better chances we have of fully restoring a rug. We’ll begin with an in-home assessment of the damage. We’ll need to know what caused the damage in order to know how best to treat it. Water damage from an unresolved spill or pet urine is treated differently than damage from flooding or potentially polluted water. Once we know what type of damage we are dealing with, we’ll create a customized treatment plan. All our restoration plans include thoroughly cleaning the rug. In the case of damage from potentially polluted water, we will use special anti-microbial treatments to sanitize the rug and get rid of any mold and mildew that may be taking up residence in the rug. Depending on the type of damage, we may also apply enzymes to treat deep-seated stains and odors. Rest assured that all our treatment methods are environmentally friendly and safe for your rug.

Once we have properly cleaned and treated your rug’s water damage, we’ll dry the rug using a combination of high speed fans and dehumidifiers. Proper drying is one of the most commonly overlooked steps in rug cleaning and restoration – but it’s a step we don’t skimp on. We’ll ensure your rug is thoroughly clean and dry before we return it to you. If you live in a high-humidity climate or if your home is prone to moisture problems or frequent spills, we may also recommend a rug pad. Not only will it help protect your rug from moisture, it can also protect the hardwood underneath from damage and discoloration. We can also help with the selection and installation of a  quality rug pad.  
If your rug has water damage, give us a call today. The sooner you schedule your complimentary assessment, the sooner we can help restore your rug to its former beauty.  ​
