Mold in Carpeting

After a flood it is probable that mold is living in your carpeting.

If carpeting was saturated with water it is most likely growing mold.

Carpet cleaning is NOT going to kill the black mold, and it is highly recommended that any carpet that was soaked with water be ripped up and thrown away.

If you do not remove the carpeting the mold will continue to grow in it and get worse and worse over time. Your carpet has now become a "mold farm" and your living room is now a giant petrie dish!

Unless you remove the source of the mold, the carpeting, you will only make a minor dent in the fungi growth in your home. If the carpeting was only partially wet high ozone shock treatments may be effective in preventing more black mold growth.

Since carpet is porous you may need to perform these high ozone treatments again and again over time. Owning your own ozone generator to perform these ozone treatments when they become necessary, is advised.

We strongly suggest removal of carpeting that was soaked with water even if you do not see mold in the carpet, carpet is designed to hide the dirt and mold.
