Why Fast Wet Carpet Drying is critical

Within 24 Hours

Mould spores activate and begin colonising wet carpet fibres. Carpet backing materials begin to deteriorate and water can seep intoskirting boards and walls.

Within 48 Hours

Mould growth accelerates, creating potential health hazards. Carpets may begin delaminating from backing, often leading to permanent damage.

After 72 Hours

Restoration costs typically increase by 45 – 60%. Structural damage may occur to flooring beneath carpets, and musty odours become persistent.

Our fast professional wet carpet drying service prevents these costly and unhealthy outcomes. Don’t wait – call now for emergency response.

Flood Damaged Carpet Drying Specialists

When floodwater infiltrates your home or business, every minute counts in preventing permanent damage to your carpets and flooring. At Squeaky Clean Team, our certified water damage restoration specialists combine advanced drying technology with proven techniques to salvage carpets that others might consider beyond repair. With our “110% Care Factor” motto driving everything we do, we’re committed to excellence that goes above and beyond.

 

We understand that water-damaged carpets aren’t just about replacing materials – they represent comfort, investment, and often irreplaceable memories woven into your space. Our rapid-response team arrives equipped with industrial-grade extraction equipment, high-powered air movers, and commercial dehumidifiers designed specifically for carpet restoration. We don’t just remove surface water; we eliminate moisture trapped deep within carpet fibers and padding that can lead to mold, mildew, and structural damage.

Our systematic approach begins with immediate water extraction followed by thorough moisture assessment using thermal imaging and moisture meters. We then implement a controlled drying environment, monitoring humidity levels and air circulation to ensure complete moisture removal without damaging delicate fibers. Throughout the process, we apply antimicrobial treatments to prevent bacterial growth and eliminate odors at their source.

Our 5-Step Professional Carpet Drying Service

The Squeaky Clean Team follows a systematic approach to wet carpet drying that ensures thorough mositure removal and prevents secondary damage like mould growth.

Step 1:  Professional Assessment

Our technicians use moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify all affected areas, including hidden moisture pockets in underlay and subfloors.

Step 2: Water Extraction

Using powerful truck-mounted or portable extraction units, we remove 95% of water from yur carpets and underlay – far more effective than shop vacuums or rental equipment.

Step 3: Float Drying Techniques

We implement the specialised “float drying” technique where appropriate, lifting carpets for faster, more thorough drying.

Step 4:  Industrial Dehumidification

Our commercial grade dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air, preventing it from reabsorbing into carpets and minimising humidity that promotes mould growth.

Step 5: Antimicrobial Treatment

We apply professional grade antimicrobial treatments to prevent mould and bacteria growth, then verify complete drying with moisture meteres before finalising the job.

Professional Equipment Makes the Difference

Our industrial carpet drying equipment extracts up to 85% more water than consumer grade wet vacuums, dramatically reducing drying time and preventing mould growth.

DIY Wet Carpet Drying Tips While Waiting for Professionals

  • Remove furniture from wet carpeted areas if possible
  • Blot (don't rub) excess water with towels
  • Create airflow with fans if available
  • Elevate furniture legs with aluminum foil to prevent staining
  • Open windows and doors if weather permits

Remember: These steps help temporarily but cannot replace professional wet carpet drying services for significant water damage.

Common Questions About Our Services

We’ve answered thousands of questions over the years. Here are the ones we hear most often:

How quickly can you get to my property for wet carpet drying?
We’ll be at your door within 60 minutes, 24/7, anywhere in Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. There’s a callout fee which includes assessment (higher after hours), but we also offer free video assessment if you want to send photos first. When your carpet is soaked, every minute counts. The first 24 hours are critical to prevent mould growth and permanent damage. The faster we extract the water and start drying, the more likely we can save your carpet and the lower your restoration costs will be.
n most cases, we can save your carpet if we get there quickly with professional equipment. We’ve successfully restored over 5,000 water damaged properties and their carpets – all still mould-free. However, if water has been sitting for more than 48 hours, if there’s sewage contamination, or if the carpet backing has deteriorated, replacement might be necessary. We’ll assess your situation honestly and let you know what can be saved.
Most wet carpets take 2-4 days to dry completely depending on how much water is involved, the type of carpet and underlay, and weather conditions. We use industrial air movers and dehumidifiers that run continuously while we monitor moisture levels daily with specialized meters. We won’t finish until everything is completely dry – cutting corners leads to mould growth weeks later. That’s why all 5,000+ properties we’ve restored are still mould-free. Float drying is where we slightly lift your carpet and place air movers underneath to create airflow across both sides of the carpet. This dries the carpet from the bottom up, which is much faster than drying from the top down. It saves you money because we need less drying equipment and less time to get your carpet completely dry. When feasible, we recommend this method for the best results at the lowest cost.
Household fans can’t extract water from carpet underlay, subfloors, or wall cavities where the real damage happens. Without proper extraction equipment and dehumidifiers, moisture stays trapped and mould starts growing within 24-48 hours. You also risk water spreading to skirting boards, walls, and adjacent rooms. Our industrial equipment removes moisture completely – it’s not just more powerful, it’s designed specifically for water damage restoration.
Most home insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage from burst pipes, hot water services, storms, and overflows. We’re preferred partners with all major Australian insurers and we work directly with them to make your claim straightforward. We’ll provide all the documentation your insurer needs and can even help guide you through the claims process. Call us and we’ll work it out together.
Mould spores start growing in damp environments within 24-48 hours. When water soaks into carpet, underlay, and subfloors, it creates the perfect breeding ground. Our process prevents mould by extracting all moisture using industrial equipment and monitoring with moisture meters until readings confirm everything is completely dry. We also use dehumidifiers to control humidity levels in the air, stopping mould before it starts.
We handle complete water damage restoration, not just carpet drying. When flooding happens, water typically affects walls, skirting boards, door jambs, cupboards, ceilings, and structural elements. We dry everything using industrial air movers, dehumidifiers, and moisture detection equipment. If needed, we can also arrange for damaged flooring replacement and handymen to fix water-damaged fixtures including paint, walls, and doors. It’s a turnkey service – we take care of everything.
