Signs to look for

When to call us for carpet extraction

So the repair lasts, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

The volume in the floor is larger than it looks

Before the finish work begins, a saturated cushion holds roughly a gallon of water for every 10 square feet of floor.

The carpet feels cool and heavy but not obviously wet

Cut pile carpet wicks water up and evaporates from the tips, so the surface reads dry on the meter on the meter.

A dark tide line runs along the base of the wall

For a job done right, carpet pulls water outward and upward at the perimeter.

The carpet has lifted off the tack strip in a corner

For a job done right, wet carpet gets heavy and pulls free of the tack strip pins.

A seam has opened or is peaking

Before the finish work begins, seam tape is held with adhesive that softens when it stays wet.

The backing feels gritty or crunchy underfoot

For a job done right, latex adhesive between the face and the secondary backing breaks down as it stays wet.

What happens

How we see to carpet extraction

Our workmanship team adjusts the work to what soaked up water, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be preserved.

A moisture read through the whole assembly

Before the finish work begins, we check the pile, the pad and the subfloor with a moisture meter before starting.

Passes that reach the backing, not the pile

For a job done right, a weighted extraction tool presses the carpet and cushion into the vacuum slot so water leaves the backing.

The float or pad pull decision

With sound workmanship in mind, floating means detaching one edge and pushing air between the carpet and the cushion.

Perimeter and detail extraction

With sound workmanship in mind, water concentrates at the walls and under the tack strip line, where a big tool cannot sit flat.

Seam and stretch protection while we work

For a job done right, we keep tools off open seams and support loose edges instead of dragging on them.

Drying equipment sized to the assembly

With sound workmanship in mind, air movers are placed to sweep the surface or the space under a floated carpet, and an Professional dehumidifier removes that moisture from the air.

What to expect

What to expect from our workmanship team

Here is how we more often than not handle carpet extraction near California.

1
Let us hear how deep and how long

For a job done right, say how much water is on the carpet, what it came from, and how many hours it has been there.
Your call
2
Stay off it and get the furniture up

Before the finish work begins, walking on soaked carpet drives water deeper into the pad and stresses the backing.
+5 minutes
3
Read the assembly and set the plan

So the repair lasts, a technician meters the pile, the pad and the subfloor and checks the seams and the tack strip.
On arrival
4
Gross extraction on the free water

For a job done right, the truck mounted extractor pulls the standing volume out of the assembly first.
First hour on site
5
Slow weighted passes until it stops giving water

With sound workmanship in mind, weighted and self propelled tools work the room in overlapping slow passes, then the perimeter and closets get detailed.
Day 1
6
Carpet floated or pad removed, then equipment set

With sound workmanship in mind, if we float, an edge is detached and air is pushed between the carpet and the pad.
Day 1, evening
7
Daily moisture values through carpet, pad and deck

Before the finish work begins, the same points get read every visit and logged, including the subfloor under the assembly. For a job done right, carpet is more often than not the first layer to reach target and the deck the last.
Day 2 to 3

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

So the repair lasts, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. So the repair lasts, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Carpet and pad extraction, one to two rooms, pad left in place	For a job done right, national estimate for the extraction stage only. So the repair lasts, drying equipment is billed separately per unit per day.	$350 to $1,000
Carpet extraction priced by area, clean water	With sound workmanship in mind, national estimate for the mechanical extraction stage on typical residential carpet and cushion.	$1 to $3 per square foot
Whole floor of wet carpet, three or more rooms	So the repair lasts, national estimate for extraction across a connected carpeted floor, before drying equipment and cleaning.	$700 to $2,500
Drying equipment only, one carpeted room, three days	So the repair lasts, national estimate for the equipment line alone, based on typical air mover and dehumidifier day rates.	$300 to $700
Hot water extraction cleaning after drying, per square foot	With sound workmanship in mind, national estimate for cleaning and grooming the carpet once the assembly is verified dry.	$0.25 to $0.60
Reattach and stretch a floated carpet, per square foot	So the repair lasts, national estimate covering laying the carpet back on the tack strip, stretching and minor seam repair.	$0.60 to $1.50

Square footage of wet carpet
We measure the saturated section with a meter, which is often smaller than the room. Water spreads unevenly and stops where the pad stops taking it.
How saturated the pad is
Before the finish work begins, a damp assembly takes a couple of passes.
Float versus pad removal
Floating keeps your carpet and pad in position and saves material cost. Pad removal adds tear out, disposal and new cushion, but often shortens the drying by a day.
Carpet construction
For a job done right, cut pile releases water readily under a weighted tool.
Access and furniture
Before the finish work begins, stairs, tight hallways and heavily furnished rooms slow the tool down.
Equipment days
Air movers run roughly $25 to $40 per unit per day and Professional dehumidifiers roughly $70 to $110 per unit per day.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Before the finish work begins, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

The backing delaminates and the carpet is done

For a job done right, latex adhesive holding the face to the secondary backing softens and lets go when it stays wet.

Jute backing shrinks and never fits again

For a job done right, older carpets and many rugs use jute backing, which shrinks hard as it dries.

Seams open and edges have to be reworked

For a job done right, seam tape adhesive fails after a day or two under water.

Wicking pulls stains up from the pad

For a job done right, as the assembly dries, water travels up through the fibers and carries old soil with it.

Helpful service information

What to know about carpet extraction

With sound workmanship in mind, start with the short explanation. Before the finish work begins, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

Before the finish work begins, the slot has to seat flat so it seals against the secondary backing, because that is the layer holding the water.

Read the explanation

So the repair lasts, carpet extraction is decided at the vacuum slot. Before the finish work begins, the slot has to seat flat so it seals against the secondary backing, because that is the layer holding the water.

How the next step is decided

With sound workmanship in mind, one edge comes off the tack strip, then an air mover is aimed into the gap so dry air travels between the carpet and the pad.

Read the explanation

So the repair lasts, floating a carpet is the technique that saves both layers. With sound workmanship in mind, one edge comes off the tack strip, then an air mover is aimed into the gap so dry air travels between the carpet and the pad.

What may change the work

The face yarn is tufted through a primary backing, then a secondary backing is bonded on with latex adhesive.

Read the explanation

Carpet is built in layers, and water attacks the glue between them. The face yarn is tufted through a primary backing, then a secondary backing is bonded on with latex adhesive.

Common questions

Questions about carpet extraction

Can wet carpet be preserved?

Before the finish work begins, more often than not yes when the water was clean and we reach it within a day or two.

What does floating the carpet mean?

Before the finish work begins, we detach one edge from the tack strip and blow air between the carpet and the pad. For a job done right, that dries both layers from the middle out.

How do you decide whether to float or pull the pad?

With sound workmanship in mind, water cleanliness first, then how saturated the cushion is, then the value of the carpet.

How long does carpet extraction take?

Before the finish work begins, the extraction itself is more often than not a few hours on one to two rooms. With sound workmanship in mind, drying the assembly routinely takes three days.

Can I dry the carpet myself?

For a job done right, a shop vacuum handles surface water up to about an inch and never reaches the backing. With sound workmanship in mind, home machines lack the weight and vacuum to pull water from the pad.

Will walking on wet carpet make it worse?

For a job done right, yes. Before the finish work begins, foot traffic drives water deeper into the cushion and stresses the backing and the seams.

What is carpet layers separating?

Before the finish work begins, it is the face of the carpet separating from its secondary backing, because the latex adhesive between them failed.
