KIWI Services: Professional Carpet Water Extraction and Restoration
Are you experiencing flooding that soaked your carpet and padding with water? Whether it’s from inclement weather, a water heater tank leak, or an overflowing sink—it is never something a non-professional should tackle. Not only does flood water ruin your furniture, items, and electronics, but it can also damage your carpets and cause a build-up of mold and bacteria.
When you need emergency carpet water extraction, time is of the essence—and you’ll need the assistance of professionals who can easily handle emergencies. KIWI Services has been in the water damage restoration business for over 39 years, and we’re confident that we can get your house back in working order as soon as possible.
24/7 On-Call Water Damage Restoration Services
You can never plan for when your house will flood, so you need a professional company whose services are available around the clock. At KIWI Services, we have water damage experts who are always on call and can come to your house and help immediately. When you need emergency carpet water extraction, we know that minutes matter.
We will begin our water damage restoration process by extracting the water from your carpets or hardwood floors. We will then sanitize and deodorize your home as we clean your upholstery and furniture. And if any of your area oriental rugs flooded KIWI, pick them up to our facilities for restoration by master technicians.
After the water has been extracted thoroughly from your floors, we will ensure that the carpets, floors, walls, and ceilings are completely dry. In this stage, we will also check for bacterial growth that may have occurred during the flooding. Any mold, mildew, dust, and dirt will be removed from your home during the drying phase, as it can be hazardous to your health if left inside. In addition to treating and drying the surfaces of your home, we can also provide a safe space to store your personal belongings to prevent mold or bacteria growth.
KIWI Services is IICRC certified, licensed, and bonded and will work with your insurance company on the repairs’ billing. KIWI also offers a one-year guarantee on all the water damage repair work that we do, in addition to a one-year carpet cleaning warranty if it’s necessary for us to clean the carpets.
Health Risks of Untreated Carpet Water Damage
Untreated carpet water damage poses significant health risks that should not be underestimated. When water infiltrates your carpets and is not promptly and properly extracted, it creates an ideal breeding ground for mold, mildew, bacteria, and allergens. These contaminants can severely impact indoor air quality and overall health, especially for individuals with allergies or respiratory conditions.
- Mold and Mildew Growth: One of the primary concerns with untreated carpet water damage is the rapid growth of mold and mildew. These fungi thrive in moist environments and can begin to develop within 24 to 48 hours after water exposure. Mold spores can become airborne and spread throughout your home, leading to respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and aggravating conditions such as asthma. Symptoms of mold exposure include coughing, sneezing, skin irritation, and, in severe cases, difficulty breathing and chronic lung conditions.
- Bacteria Buildup: Water-damaged carpets can harbor harmful bacteria that pose a risk to your health. Bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella can thrive in wet, dirty carpets, especially if the water damage originated from contaminated sources like sewage backups or floodwaters. Exposure to these bacteria can cause gastrointestinal issues, skin infections, and other serious health problems. Ensuring carpets are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after water damage is crucial to prevent bacterial contamination.
- Allergens: Carpet fibers can trap dust mites, pet dander, and pollen allergens. When carpets become wet and are not properly dried, these allergens can proliferate, worsening indoor air quality. For individuals with allergies, this can result in heightened symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and respiratory distress. Even those without preexisting allergies can develop sensitivities due to prolonged exposure to allergen-laden carpets.
- Impact on Indoor Air Quality: The combination of mold, mildew, bacteria, and allergens significantly degrades indoor air quality. Poor air quality can lead to various health issues, including headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and respiratory problems. Long-term exposure to contaminated air can also increase the risk of developing chronic respiratory conditions and other health complications.

Steps Involved in KIWI’s Carpet Water Extraction Process
At KIWI Services, prompt and thorough carpet water extraction is crucial to prevent further damage and health risks. Our comprehensive carpet water extraction process is designed to restore your carpets to their original condition, ensuring a safe and healthy living environment. Here is a detailed breakdown of each step involved in our carpet water extraction process:
- Initial Assessment: Upon arrival, our certified technicians thoroughly assess the affected area. This includes identifying the source of the water damage, the extent of the saturation, and the type of water involved (clean, gray, or black water). This initial assessment helps us develop a tailored plan for the extraction and restoration process.
- Water Extraction: The next step is immediately extracting standing water from your carpets and padding. We use high-powered pumps and vacuums to quickly remove as much water as possible. This step is crucial to prevent further damage and minimize the risk of mold and mildew growth.
- Moisture Detection: We employ advanced moisture detection tools to identify hidden moisture within the carpet fibers, padding, and subflooring. This ensures that no moisture is left behind, which could lead to future issues. Moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras help us pinpoint areas that need further attention.
- Carpet Padding Removal: In cases of severe water damage, it may be necessary to remove and replace the carpet padding. Wet padding can harbor mold and bacteria, and replacing it helps ensure a thorough restoration. We carefully lift the carpet, remove the saturated padding, and prepare the area for drying.
- Drying and Dehumidification: We set up industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to thoroughly dry the carpet, subfloor, and surrounding areas. This process helps accelerate evaporation and reduces humidity levels, preventing mold growth. Our equipment runs continuously until the area is completely dry, which we monitor with moisture meters.
- Sanitizing and Deodorizing: Once the area is dry, we sanitize the carpets to eliminate bacteria, mold spores, and other contaminants. Our eco-friendly, antimicrobial treatments ensure that your carpets are clean and safe for your family and pets. We also use specialized deodorizing agents to remove any lingering odors caused by water damage.
- Carpet Cleaning: After sanitizing and deodorizing, we perform a thorough carpet cleaning to restore the carpet’s appearance and texture. This step removes any remaining dirt, debris, and stains, ensuring your carpets look and feel like new. Our cleaning process is gentle yet effective, tailored to the specific type of carpet fibers.
- Reinstallation and Final Inspection: If the carpet is lifted during extraction, we carefully reinstall it, ensuring it is properly stretched and secured. We then conduct a final inspection to ensure all areas are completely dry, clean, and damage-free. Our technicians use moisture meters to confirm that the carpets and subflooring are dry to industry standards.
- Monitoring and Follow-Up: To ensure the restoration process is successful, we schedule follow-up visits to monitor the affected area for any signs of recurring issues. Our team can address any concerns and provide additional support if needed.
