It depends on the extent of the damage, but in most cases we’d strongly advise getting professional assistance. Flood waters can seep into hidden areas behind walls that you may not notice, and mold and other problems can form as a result. Give us a call, and we’ll provide a professional and impartial assessment of the situation.

Depending on the type of water that saturated your carpet, it might need to be replaced. If the water was contaminated in any way (such as from a sump pump or sewer break), it is best to replace the carpet. If the water was clean, it is possible to just dry and deodorize your carpet without replacing it.

Mold is ubiquitous. And it’s virtually always in the air. However, indoor air quality can be compromised when mold levels become pronounced. Mold always grows as a result of moisture. Keep in mind, mold is never a problem, but a symptom of a problem. That being water or moisture. Pipes burst and leak, flooded basements, and other water damage situations can cause abnormal mold growth. If your home or place of work has experienced water damage, it’s important to dry the areas completely and keep those areas dry. Simply put, no moisture problems, no mold problems.
At this time, Wisconsin has set no rules or laws regulating the removal or remediation of mold from a structure. Home-owners and business-owners may attempt to remove mold on their own. Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services has available suggestions and information on do-it-yourself methods. However, if a professional solution is either required or preferred, be assured that Kelmann follows our strict industry standard of care when performing remediation. Our standards are high. We are the preferred vendor offering remediation solutions to numerous healthcare facilities including hospitals and nursing homes.
