A supply leak, room flood or water crossing a carpeted threshold can soak carpet fibers, pad, tack strips and subfloor. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.
