New Smyrna Beach Water Damage - Is it really possible to save my water damaged carpet?

One of the most common casualties of water damage is flooring, particularly carpeting. Not only can the carpet itself get soaked but the padding underneath as well, leaving many homeowners thinking their carpets and rugs are a lost cause. 

If you are facing water damage in New Smyrna Beach, don't throw out your area rugs or any flooring until you call us. Depending upon the type of water that has flooded your home and how long ago it occurred, our technicians may be able to restore your carpet. 

Type of Water 

There are three main types of water damage: that from clean water, gray water, and black water. Black water -- such as that from a backed up sewer line -- is hazardous, has come into contact with dangerous microbes, and carpet doused with it should be disposed of for safety. Gray water is unclean and typically ruins carpet padding, but the carpet itself and any rugs that come into contact with it can usually be restored. Clean water poses the least danger and damages flooring the least, enabling SERVPRO technicians to save the majority of carpet that comes into contact with it. 

Length of Time 

As water is allowed to sit and penetrate the many layers of a carpet, the damage will become more extensive. The sooner that you contact SERVPRO after water damage has occurred in your home, the more likely it is that we can save and restore your carpets and rugs. However, even if it has been awhile it is still worth it to give us a call -- we have years of experience restoring even the most severely water damaged carpets and flooring. 

Our Process 

We will use technologically advanced equipment to not only extract water from your carpets but ensure that the water does not cause excess humidity within your home during the process. 

Our professionals also take care to deodorize your carpets and rugs and ensure that no mold or mildew has set in. 


The team at SERVPRO of New Smyrna Beach-Titusville is highly skilled at not only extracting water from rugs and carpets but restoring them so you will not have to spend money on replacements. For a quote or to receive more information about our water damage services, call us 24/7 at (321) 264-0205.
