Carpet Water Damage

 

Carpet Water Damage 

Carpets and area rugs help bring a space together and offer comfort to your home. Anything that comprises your carpets is also compromising your comfort in your own home. When it comes to carpet maintenance, homeowners are usually aware that the high usage of carpets leads to spills and stains, but they may not know that they are just as susceptible to water damage from things such as faulty plumbing and burst pipes.  Homeowners need to know potential sources of water damage to their carpets. Here are a few types of water damage that can invade your carpets:
  • Clean Water Damage — Results from rainwater flooding or home maintenance issues such as broken appliances or plumbing lines. It can even be caused by direct spills.
  • Grey Water Damage — Comes from sources of water with a moderate amount of contaminants. Potential sources are dishwasher discharge pipes, toilet overflow, or washing machine pipe malfunctions. 
  • Black Water Damage — The highest type of contamination caused by sewer back-ups or natural disasters.
