Wet Carpet Drying in Portland, Oregon
Extraction and in-place drying that saves carpet where possible.
Carpet itself often survives; the pad underneath rarely does once it has been saturated for a day. Left alone, both hold moisture against the subfloor and start to smell within 48 hours.
We extract deeply, decide honestly whether pad can stay, float carpet with air movers where appropriate, and sanitize the subfloor before re-laying.

Wet Carpet Drying: common questions
Can wet carpet be saved?
Carpet soaked with clean water and dried within 24 to 48 hours can usually be saved. The pad underneath is often replaced. Carpet soaked by sewage or floodwater should be removed.
How long does it take to dry wet carpet professionally?
With extraction and air movers, carpet typically dries in 2 to 3 days. Fans alone, without extracting first, often leave the pad and subfloor wet underneath.
