Floating Carpet in Wichita, KS Storm Damaged Basement

When water comes in due to rain it often comes up from cracks in the foundation and around the edges of the exterior walls. This is most common when sump pumps lose power, get overwhelmed or just quit. For a restoration professional Like SERVPRO of Northeast Wichita this typically means pulling back carpet, removing the soaked pad, spraying and anti-microbial and setting the carpet back down to dry. This is what you can observe in this set of Before and After photos. In the before the pad is being removed and in the after the carpet has been treated with an antimicrobial and set back. With an air mover set-up to "float" the carpet to allow faster drying.
