Wet & Water Damaged Rug Drying in Brisbane
Do not leave your rugs wet - soaked rug damage will worsen as it sits!
Rugs (and carpets) are among the first items in your home to suffer water damage in the event of a burst pipe, bath or sink overflow, flooding from external disasters, etc. When you leave the rugs soaked in water for a long time, then the rugs can be water damaged.
Although we can restore any type of rug, we utilise tailor made rug drying processes for Oriental and Persian rugs which require the utmost care and attention.
Why do water damaged rugs need timely intervention?
When the rugs get soaked in water for a long time, then it can be water damaged. So, the rugs need to be dried immediately to stop any permanent damage due to water.
Prevent Mold – When a rug is soaked in the water for a long time, then it provides an ideal environment for the growth of moulds. The mould growth can start to grow anywhere between 24 to 48 hours. So, if the rugs can be dried with 24 hours of water damage, then it will be better.
Avoid Permanent Stains – When water damaged rugs are dried immediately, we can avoid permanent stains. When the rugs are not dried quickly, it may lead to permanent stains on the rugs.
Preserve the Rug’s Structure – A rug that is in water for a long time, can lead to weakened fibers, and this may lead to shrinking of the rugs. Delaying the drying of water damaged rugs can lead to irreversible damage.
Minimize Restoration Costs – When the water remains on the rug for a longer time, the more damage it can cost. And this can lead to extensive damage and extensive repair costs. So, drying a water damaged rug quickly can reduce the restoration cost.
