CARPET DRYING WHEN DISASTER STRIKES
          One of the biggest problems with water disasters is its effect on carpets and floors. ServiceMaster Clean® understands these issues and provides fast, on-site carpet and wood floor drying.
Here's what your ServiceMaster Clean® professional considers when drying carpet:

• Age and condition of carpet: If a carpet is so old that it is a better value to replace than attempt restoration, we"ll let you know what makes the best financial sense. ServiceMaster Clean® uses industry resources to help determine the exact value of carpet.

• Length of time carpet was exposed to water: Most carpets can withstand water for up to three days, but immediate response to your loss is critical. In most cases ServiceMaster Clean® can be at your site within two to four hours.

• Type of water: Types of water affect the restoration process.

• Clean water: Water from a clean source with no debris.
• Grey water: Water that is not necessarily clean but is not hazardous (washing machine and dishwasher overflow, for example).
• Black water: Sewage backup or runoff water. These losses are hazardous and should be handled with caution.

• Water Temperature: The temperature of the water is important to consider. For example, a hot water heater with very warm water will affect the glue used to hold carpet fibers together.
  

Here's what we consider when drying wood floors:

• Wood floors are very sensitive, so proper drying is critical.
• Wood naturally holds water—up to 10% depending on the type of floor.
• Wood can absorb another 5% to 10% without showing any noticeable effects. Within a few days, however, floors that cannot hold the water any longer will expand, causing cupping or crowning. Both are very difficult to restore.
