The Best Way to Dry Wet Carpet in Brisbane
Have you discovered a leak in your home? Or is severe weather causing floodwater to infiltrate your property? In either case, water in carpets can be a major headache. In addition, carpet damage can be caused by fire and flood damage.
Even though the carpet has been wet, some techniques remove the moisture with some elbow grease. Although it may be tempting, ignoring wet spots will harm the carpet and padding underneath, create an ugly stain, and encourage mould growth. Mould can contaminate your home’s atmosphere if left untreated, increasing the likelihood of disease.

How does Reztor Restoration work?
We Are Brisbane's Most Reliable Restoration Company
Reztor has been drying wet carpets for over a decade, and our goal is to simplify the process for you. When dealing with wet carpets, quick action is required. The longer the wet carpet sits, the more likely mould will grow. As a result, we provide emergency services for all Queensland suburbs 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
How to Dry Wet Carpets
Have you ever wondered how professionals dry wet carpets? Here’s what we’ll offer:
Water Extraction: – Using a portable extractor, start by removing as much water as you can. Extraction removes the majority of the sitting water, reducing drying time and the likelihood of saving your expensive carpet.
Air Flow: – The second step is to create airflow across the carpet to help the water evaporate. Using air movers or fans to move enormous amounts of air flatly would be ideal. Heat mats can help with this in cold climates or under conditions.
The Drying Process: – Instead of relying solely on air to dry a damp carpet, a dehumidifier can help speed up the process. Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air, allowing water in the carpet to evaporate more quickly and effectively. Dehumidification is critical in Australia since the air is humid, hindering dehumidification.
Mould Cleanup (As Needed): Moisture remediation may be required if some prolonged moisture is present. You can learn more about our mould treatment method by calling 1800 739 867 today.

Steps to Dry Your Carpet Following a Flood or Leak
1. Remove all traces of moisture from the carpet
To aid absorption, place large, thick towels over wet regions and walk over them. A wet vacuum is an alternative. They are reasonably priced and can be rented. Consider hiring professional Adelaide carpet cleaners if your wet carpet is completely saturated.
2. Turn on fans, air conditioners, and open windows.
During drying, you must circulate air around the room to absorb most of the water. Turn on any ceiling or freestanding fans to circulate air across the damp area. If you have an air conditioning unit, it should also be turned on. Open windows to allow more air to circulate throughout the space. In addition, it will assist in getting rid of any musty odours that may have accumulated due to the wet carpet.
3. Rent or purchase a dehumidifier
Dehumidifiers are excellent for use in spaces prone to moisture and mould formation. For example, if you live in a flood-prone location or have leaks in your home regularly, a dehumidifier will assist draw moisture from your property and prevent mould buildup.
4. Steam Clean Your Carpet
Professional steam carpet cleaning is done at an extremely high temperature, which kills any toxins in your carpet. However, even if you clean a moist carpet, bacteria may still be present deep inside the carpet fibres. Steam cleaning can get to these critters and eradicate mould spores.
5. Remove Trapped Moisture using Baking Soda
A home solution such as baking soda is good for smaller patches of moist carpet. After using towels to absorb most of the water, sprinkle baking soda over the wet areas and let for 30 minutes. Vacuum any leftover baking soda, and your carpets should be fairly clean.
6. Consult Professionals to Evaluate Your Carpet Padding
If a substantial amount of water has penetrated your carpet, it may have damaged its padding. A professional carpet cleaner from Reztor may inspect your carpet padding to determine if it needs to be replaced. If your carpet padding becomes damp, it can promote mould growth and create an unsanitary air quality in your home.
These are the primary procedures for drying a wet carpet and the steps we will follow to resolve your wet carpet issues. In addition, lifting sections of the carpet may be required to provide airflow underneath. We will also collect many moisture samples to monitor the drying process over several days.

Consider having Reztor Restoration become your preferred water damage expert.
2 What should I do if water has damaged my carpet?
If not dried sufficiently, there is a high chance that your carpet will start to smell, and mould will develop. Therefore, promptly removing a wet carpet from the house is crucial since mould can set in about 72 hours after it is wet.
The carpet will not dry out by itself, and specialised equipment is required. Therefore, it is best to call Reztor Restoration as soon as possible. Our work involves extracting the water and installing carpet drying equipment to remove all moisture from the walls, carpet, underlay, and sub-floor.
3 Can my carpet be dried without lifting or removing it?
Yes, with today’s technology advancements, specialised drying equipment and techniques enable us to dry the affected areas without removing the carpet and underlay. In addition, drying the carpet in place from the top down reduces the chance of shrinkage and further damage to the carpet.
4 Why choose Reztor for carpet flood damage restoration in Brisbane?
We have a team of trained professionals to help with restoring your carpet to its original state. However, if the wet carpet is not dried quickly, it could be damaged permanently, resulting in replacement and additional costs.
Our water damage restoration company understands how to dry your wet carpet fast and effectively so that you do not need to replace the carpet. The most important thing is that you act quickly! That’s why we offer a 24/7 emergency water damage service to all Brisbane residents.
5 How long will the flood damage repair take?
Although every flood can vary in size, there is a standard set of practices that we must follow to achieve our desired results. First, our staff will quickly arrive at your property within an hour or two and rapidly get to work extracting all the freestanding water.
The drying process begins after removing the water from the property using special drying equipment. The structural drying could take anywhere from 2 days to 3 weeks.
Some of the factors that contribute to the length of time a flood clean up takes depend on:
- The size of the flood event
- The amount of time the materials have been wet.
- The category of water loss.
- The types of building materials that have been wet.
- The environmental conditions
6 What tools do you use for restoration?
When Reztor Restoration works on a property, we always use state-of-the-art restoration equipment such as the latest dehumidifiers and air movers available in the market to restore your home or business to its original condition.
These devices ensure that the restoration process is completed in a quicker time frame and eliminate the chances of any secondary damage.
7 Do you remove the odour from fire, smoke, or water damage?
One of the things that Reztor Restoration does is clean up all the water, smoke, and odour that may have been left behind on your property. We also remove all the damaged or dirty carpets and floorboards for a more convenient and pleasant transition.
Our technicians will also sanitise your property to get rid of the germs. We make sure that this process is completed on time. We will also remove all odours from fire damage restoration by ensuring the building materials such as carpet, floorboards, and textiles are adequately dried out.
8 How do you test for mould?
The first thing we do is inspect visually. Then, if there are signs of mould growth, we can use bio-tape to sample the mould and send it to a lab for further testing. Thus, we can determine additional information about the mould and its severeness.
9 What is your guarantee policy?
Our 100% guarantee means that our Reztor Restoration technicians will restore your property to its original or better condition. In addition, we promise that we will not leave your property until you are 100% satisfied with how it looks.
10 Is there a cost estimate I can get from you?
Yes. Our restoration team will provide you with an estimate of the cost shortly after doing all the assessments of your Brisbane property. We will look at the type and volume of your loss, as well as assess your insurance coverage.
All estimates on our services are free of charge. So even after you have acted on your insurance claim, we will still be able to appraise your case to determine its progress.
11 What are the dangers of mould?
Mould is a fungus that can cause severe allergic reactions or other health conditions. Reztor Restoration technicians are trained to mitigate the dangers of mould in homes and businesses in Brisbane.
The health dangers of mould include aggravating asthma and lung diseases (such as COPD and chronic bronchitis), allergies, associated skin conditions such as acne or eczema.
In addition, those with allergies often experience sneezing. In severe cases, people with allergies can even experience problems with their eyes or throat—sometimes leading to breathing difficulties or vision loss.
12 Do you remove carpet, furniture, appliances when doing restoration?
Yes. We remove all carpeting, flooring (including tiles), any major appliances (refrigerators, washing machines), and any other items you’d like to replace or dispose of on your property.
We will, however, assess every material according to the framework outlined by the IICRC. We also remove structural damage that the water or smoke has caused.
