Why is carpet soaked with clean water an emergency?
The water may be clean when it entered your carpet but would you drink off the floor? But even worse, the longer the carpet is wet the more bacteria, mold and other organic matter can multiply and cause serious health risks. Most insurance policies require owners to take immediate action to prevent (mitigate) any secondary damage from occuring, such as mold growth. When you or your insurance agent calls us, we respond quickly to remove the water from your floor and dry out additional moisture that may have been soaked into walls, furniture and cabinets.
