Carpet Sanitizing & Antimicrobial in Elmhurst, IL

Carpet Sanitizing & Antimicrobial in Elmhurst, IL

Carpet sanitizing and antimicrobial treatment is what makes a carpet safe to live on again after water damage. Drying removes the water. It does not remove what the water brought in or what started growing while it sat there.

Elmhurst, IL Wet Carpet Drying uses carpet sanitizing and antimicrobial treatment in Elmhurst, IL on gray water jobs and on clean water jobs that sat for more than a day. After extraction, we apply an EPA registered antimicrobial to the carpet face, then pull the carpet back and treat the backing, the tack strip and the subfloor. The backing is where contamination hides, because it holds water longer than the fibres on top.

On gray water jobs, the sanitizing goes further. We hot water extract the carpet with a cleaning solution to flush out soil and residue, then apply the antimicrobial and dry it. The pad is always replaced on these jobs. It cannot be cleaned deep enough to be safe.

There is a limit. No antimicrobial makes Category 3 sewage carpet safe to keep. For that, the carpet comes out.

This step is part of our full carpet water damage restoration process, and it matters most in homes with kids, pets or anyone with allergies.
