Specific Methods for Drying Carpet

SERVPRO techs often utilize a controlled drying method known as "tenting." Tenting is a specialized technique used in the water damage restoration industry to dry a wet carpet in place.

How Tenting Works Against Water Damage

Plastic sheeting is placed over the wet carpet and sealed with water extraction tape to form an airtight tent. The tent size adjusts to the dimensions of the damp area. Inside, SERVPRO techs use air movers to accelerate moisture evaporation from the carpet and padding. After drying, the rug is cleaned, sanitized, and re-stretched (if needed) to its original condition.
