Protecting Carpets from Water Damage in Grand Junction Homes 

Carpets are a standard flooring selection in modern construction for Grand Junction properties as it can provide a plush feel and a great aesthetic appeal when properly installed. While these areas have a distinct magnetism for soil and debris buildup at the base of the fibers over even a limited use, this same attraction exists when disasters like water loss incidents occur. To protect this flooring, and consequently the rest of your home, you need to act on the situation immediately. 

While many have chosen to reach out to our experienced SERVPRO team for the water damage in Grand Junction homes, depending on the severity of the situation, this might not always be necessary. More than anything, we want our customers to have a comfortable and safe life in their homes, and so we want to provide some helpful tips that can aid you in recognizing disasters as they happen and working to prevent these situations from getting out of control. 

No matter the cause of the water damage currently threatening your home, our SERVPRO team recommends these actions immediately: 

• Locate the source of the damage and determine the best solution for stopping a continued flow of water. 
• The use of water extraction tools can often thwart the quick spread of water damage from one room to the next. 
• Acquire drying tools like air movers and dehumidifiers from local home improvement chains. The placement of these throughout the affected areas of your home can work to eliminate moisture and saturation in the environment. 
• Handheld tamping devices can force saturation to the surface for extraction with your wet/dry vac; these tools can also often be available to rent instead of the full cost of purchase. 

The objective should always be to protect the installed original materials of your home when water loss incidents occur. If the situation gets out of your hands, give our SERVPRO of Grand Junction team a call right away at (970) 241-8181. We have the tools and expertise to make loss incidents “Like it never even happened.”
