Flooring & Carpet Damage from Water
Water-damaged floors and carpets require fast action. Whether it’s a flooded basement, pipe leak, or appliance overflow, flooring materials can quickly absorb moisture, leading to mold, odors, and structural issues. At Purisync Heating and Air, we offer full-service flooring and carpet restoration in Kirkwood, MO and surrounding communities.
Signs of Water Damage to Floors
- Warped or cupped hardwood planks
- Soft, spongy spots in subfloor or laminate
- Discoloration or mold growth under carpet
- Peeling vinyl or tile lifting
- Persistent odors, even after drying attempts
Types of Flooring We Restore
- Carpet & Padding: Often needs to be removed and replaced, especially after gray or black water exposure
- Hardwood: May be salvaged if dried quickly using specialized techniques
- Laminate & Engineered Wood: Usually needs replacement due to water underlayers
- Vinyl & Tile: May appear unaffected, but subfloor moisture is common
Our Flooring & Carpet Restoration Process
- Inspection: We assess the type of material, level of water saturation, and hidden moisture risks.
- Extraction: Water is removed using high-powered vacuums and pumps.
- Drying: Air movers and dehumidifiers target subfloor and underlayment moisture.
- Sanitizing: We treat surfaces to prevent bacteria and odor buildup.
- Repairs: Damaged flooring is removed and replaced with new, matching materials when possible.
