Burst geyser, overflowing appliance, or a Highveld thunderstorm through the roof — water in carpet is a clock. Mould starts colonising within 24–48 hours. Our 24/7 emergency line means we extract, dry and treat fast enough to save carpets and underlay that would otherwise be ripped out.
Clean-water floods (geyser, supply line, rain) are usually salvageable if extraction and drying start within 48 hours. Past that, mould sets into the underlay and backing and replacement becomes the honest answer.
Our process: extract standing water, lift carpet to inspect underlay (often the real victim), treat with anti-microbial, then force-dry with air movers and dehumidifiers — monitored until moisture readings are safe. Wet carpets that "dry on their own" almost always smell within weeks.
