Signs to look for

When to call us for carpet extraction

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

To control the loss, a saturated cushion holds roughly a gallon of water for every 10 square feet of floor. An average bedroom is 10 to 15 gallons before the subfloor is counted.

The carpet feels cool and heavy but not obviously wet

To keep the work on track, cut pile carpet wicks water up and evaporates from the tips, so the surface reads dry. The weight underfoot is coming from the backing and the pad.

A dark tide line runs along the base of the wall

As our response moves forward, carpet pulls water outward and upward at the perimeter. That line marks how far the water traveled after it stopped moving on its own.

The carpet has lifted off the tack strip in a corner

For a decisive response, wet carpet gets heavy and pulls free of the tack strip pins. Loose corners also mean the backing has stretched and will need attention later.

A seam has opened or is peaking

To control the loss, seam tape is held with adhesive that softens when it stays wet. An open carpet seam is a repair, and a peaked one means the carpet is swelling against itself.

The backing feels gritty or crunchy underfoot

To control the loss, latex adhesive between the face and the secondary backing breaks down as it stays wet. That texture is layers separating starting, and it does not reverse.

What happens

How we handle carpet extraction

Our response team adjusts the work to where water traveled, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

A moisture read through the whole assembly

We test the pile, the pad and the subfloor with a moisture meter before starting. The reading through to the deck decides the method, not how wet the surface feels.

Passes that reach the backing, not the pile

As our response moves forward, a weighted extraction tool presses the carpet and cushion into the vacuum slot so water leaves the backing.

The float or pad pull decision

As our response moves forward, floating means detaching one edge and pushing air between the carpet and the cushion.

Perimeter and detail extraction

For a decisive response, 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

We keep tools off open seams and support loose edges instead of dragging on them. Careless extraction is how a saveable carpet ends up needing a carpet stretch and a seam repair.

Drying equipment sized to the assembly

To keep the work on track, 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 response team

Here is how we usually handle carpet extraction near Michigan.

1
Report how deep and how long

As our response moves forward, 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

For a decisive response, walking on soaked carpet drives water deeper into the pad and stresses the backing.
+5 minutes
3
Read the assembly and set the plan

As our response moves forward, 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 decisive response, the truck mounted extractor pulls the standing volume out of the assembly first. Most of the water in the room leaves during this stage.
First hour on site
5
Slow weighted passes until it stops giving water

To control the loss, 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

As our response moves forward, if we float, an edge is detached and air is pushed between the carpet and the pad.
Day 1, evening
7
Daily readings through carpet, pad and deck

For a decisive response, the same points get read every visit and logged, including the subfloor under the assembly. Carpet is usually the first layer to reach target and the deck the last.
Day 2 to 3

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We outline the restoration action plan and price before you approve the job. 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	To keep the work on track, national estimate for the extraction stage only. Drying equipment is billed separately per unit per day.	$350 to $1,000
Carpet extraction priced by area, clean water	For a decisive response, 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	For a decisive response, national estimate for extraction across a connected carpeted floor, before drying equipment and cleaning. Larger continuous areas price nearer the low end per room because setup is shared.	$700 to $2,500
Drying equipment only, one carpeted room, three days	To keep the work on track, national estimate for the equipment line alone, driven by typical air mover and dehumidifier day rates.	$300 to $700
Hot water extraction cleaning after drying, per square foot	To keep the work on track, 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	For a decisive response, 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 impacted space 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
To keep the work on track, a damp assembly takes a couple of passes. A pad holding standing water takes many slow passes and more equipment days.
Float versus pad removal
To keep the work on track, floating keeps your carpet and pad in place and saves material cost. Pad removal adds tear out, disposal and new cushion, but often shortens the drying by a day.
Carpet construction
To control the loss, cut pile releases water readily under a weighted tool. Berber, dense commercial glue down and jute backed goods each take more care and more time.
Access and furniture
To keep the work on track, stairs, tight hallways and heavily furnished rooms slow the tool down. Moving and blocking contents is labor before extraction even starts.
Equipment days
To keep the work on track, 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

Water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

The backing delaminates and the carpet is done

As our response moves forward, latex adhesive holding the face to the secondary backing softens and lets go when it stays wet.

Jute backing shrinks and never fits again

To keep the work on track, older carpets and many rugs use jute backing, which shrinks hard as it dries. A shrunken carpet pulls away from the walls and cannot be stretched back out.

Seams open and edges have to be reworked

To keep the work on track, seam tape adhesive fails after a day or two under water. What was a drying job becomes a drying job plus flooring repair.

Wicking pulls stains up from the pad

As our response moves forward, as the assembly dries, water travels up through the fibers and carries old soil with it. Marks appear on a carpet that looked fine while it was wet.

Helpful service information

What to know about carpet extraction

Act first by the short explanation. Open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

As our response moves forward, the slot has to seat flat so it seals against the secondary backing, because that is the layer holding the water.

Read the explanation

To keep the work on track, carpet extraction is decided at the vacuum slot. 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

To control the loss, 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

For a decisive response, floating a carpet is the technique that saves both layers. 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

For a decisive response, the face yarn is tufted through a primary backing, then a secondary backing is bonded on with latex adhesive.

Read the explanation

To control the loss, 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 saved?

To control the loss, usually yes when the water was clean and we reach it within a day or two. Extraction, drying and cleaning bring most carpet back.

What does floating the carpet mean?

We detach one edge from the tack strip and blow air between the carpet and the pad. That dries both layers from the middle out.

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

To keep the work on track, water cleanliness first, then how saturated the cushion is, then the value of the carpet. Clean water and a moderately wet pad favor floating.

How long does carpet extraction take?

To keep the work on track, the extraction itself is usually a few hours on one to two rooms. Drying the assembly commonly takes three days.

Can I dry the carpet myself?

To keep the work on track, a shop vacuum handles surface water up to about an inch and never reaches the backing. Home machines lack the weight and vacuum to pull water from the pad.

Will walking on wet carpet make it worse?

To keep the work on track, yes. Foot traffic drives water deeper into the cushion and stresses the backing and the seams. Stay off it until it has been extracted.

What is carpet layers separating?

As our response moves forward, it is the face of the carpet separating from its secondary backing, because the latex adhesive between them failed.
