Subfloor Drying After Pad Removal

After drying, an antimicrobial can be applied to the subfloor where pad sat wet for days, before new pad is installed.
Signs of Water in Your Carpet Pad in Palos Verdes Estates
Previous Water Incident in Area
An old leak in the same area may have left pad that never fully dried, even if the carpet looks fine.
Bubbles or Wrinkles in Carpet
Carpet that wrinkles, ripples or bubbles has loosened from the tack strips, often because the pad and backing got wet.
Carpet Seams Lifting or Separating
Carpet seams that lift or split can mean the backing glue has been weakened by moisture underneath.

A room that becomes humid or fogs windows after a leak often has wet pad releasing moisture.
How Carpet Pad Water Extraction Works in Palos Verdes Estates
Step 1: Site Evaluation

What is subfloor drying after pad removal?
Drying the bare subfloor with air movers and dehumidifiers, which is much faster once the wet pad is gone.
