Root Causes
What Causes Carpet Mold and Mildew?
Trapped Moisture
Over-wet cleaning, floods, or humidity with no airflow leave the pad wet.
The Fix
Extract and Dry
If the backing is intact we extract and dry. If mold is through the pad, replacement is the honest fix.
Hidden Leaks
Water heaters, toilets, and foundation seepage soak carpet from below.
The Fix
Stop the Water First
We will not clean mold as a cosmetic issue while the leak is still active.
