Carpet Water Damage and Your Flooring
Water damage to carpets can impact nearby flooring. When carpets become saturated, moisture seeps into underlying subfloor or adjacent hardwood, tile, and other surfaces. This can warp or crack those materials, cause swelling, or potential rot. Structural stability of your floors can be compromised and lead to to costly repairs.
Additionally, trapped moisture fosters mold and mildew growth, resulting in unpleasant odors and health risks. Prompt professional help is crucial to mitigate these effects and restore your carpeting and flooring.
