Can My Carpet Be Saved After Water Damage?
If your carpets are water damaged from a clean water source, and in good shape prior to the incident, they can normally be restored if dried properly. As usual, there are some exceptions. It depends on numerous factors including:
- Wool carpet or area rugs may have unstable dyes or may shrink.
- Jute, or another natural backing, may shrink.
- Older carpet may be delaminated and be further damaged by prolonged exposure to water or not be able to survive the drying or reinstallation process.
- Seams may fail during the drying or reinstallation process.
- The wood stain on unsealed furniture which is sitting on the carpet can bleed and cause a permanent stain.
- Some metal furniture may cause rust stains.
Area Rug Drying
Area rugs can usually be restored after a Category 1 water damage. Even the hand-woven, wool rugs for centuries have been taken down to the river, scrubbed and beaten, then laid on the rocks to dry. Just don’t roll them up when they are wet. The dyes could crock or bleed.
Modern carpet is basically plastic fibers with plastic backing. If dried within a few days it should not grow mold and be fine.
Drying Carpet in Place
If conditions are right, carpet and pad can be dried in place using heat, high-speed fans, and dehumidifiers. The right conditions are:
- The water damage is from a clean source like a supply line (Category 1)
- The extraction is done with a weighted drag tool or with some kind of compression, more than just a regular cleaning wand. Water must be compressed out of the pad.
- The water damage is less than a couple of days old.
- Sufficient air flow, heat, and dehumidification can be installed to return the affected subfloor and framing to pre-loss condition in 3 days or less. For example, a 10×12 room would need 5 high-velocity fans and 1 dehumidifier.
- Horse hair, or other natural pad, may have to be replaced making carpet removal necessary
- Pad with a “pet shield” coating or cover will trap water underneath and will have to be removed
- A variation is to install a fan under the carpet in the corner of the room and “float” the carpet with the pad in place.
- Glue-down carpet is easily restored in a Category 1 water damage. The only problem is that it sometimes exposes areas where the adhesive has failed and it may “bubble” up.

I had nothing but a wonderful experience with Tier. They were on time,very friendly and knew exactly what they were doing. I had a spot that I'd had for 4 year on my carpet and figured I would have to replace that carpet but they got it out after a couple of tries. I was truly amazed. Alex, the manager, I'd worked with before and I can't say enough good things about him. He's always there when you need him with a solution for whatever your problem is. He has a very positive attitude and is great to be around. All in all my experience was fantastic!

I honestly believe you won't find a better company to work on your home than TIER. Alex has always given me more than fair estimates and exceeded all my expectations with the final product.
Most recently, TIER installed an interior french drain in my house. Alex came out to my house through all stages of the project. He even did a final walk through and decided that he was not satisfied yet and told me he would send his guys out to bring it to his standards. I can't stress how rare this is.
Until working with Alex and TIER, I had not found a company in Nashville that I trusted. They are the only company in Nashville I would feel comfortable recommending to a friend.

Greg Lewis Tier Restoration is committed to doing the best work. The company's slogan, “Experience The Next Level” really describes Greg's work ethic as a professional in his field. He is a great resource for folks who need help with their homes. Greg and his team are folks to be trusted!
Monte Mohr
I've been selling homes for over 30 years and have owned rental properties for over 10 years. Tier Restoration is by far the best company of its kind I have ever used. As a real estate Broker selling hundreds of homes a year it is empowering to have a company as competent and professional as Greg Lewis and his crews. As a landlord I have personally used them twice in the past 12 months on major situations. The kind of challenges that would cause many to lose sleep over. In both cases Alex took my fear and concerns I was facing and extinguished them all by his consistent timely communication and professional awareness throughout the process to completion.
From simple duct cleaning to major foundation and crawl space repair and remediation there is only 1 company that I call. They are simply the best!
The Evans Family
The Tier group were amazing!! From the moment they walked in my front door, I knew we were going to be in good hands. The work was professionally done, and the communication was outstanding. Don't waste your time looking at other restoration companies, choose Tier and have that peace of mind that we had!!
Tracy Snow
Alex and his team are amazing to work with. Everyone is courteous, on time, and thorough in their work. Alex stops by to personally check on his crew and talk with the homeowner. I highly recommend Tier Restoration and will certainly use them again and again.
