Drying Damp Carpeting in Your Orlando Hotel 

No matter what emergencies affect your Orlando hotel, your reputation can get ruined if the situation gets out of control. Water loss incidents can quickly reach a catastrophic point that limits your function and available offerings for guests. With a fast response to these emergencies, our SERVPRO team can help to limit the spread and severity of water disasters minimally to reduce our impact on your guests and building. 

Because the Greater Orlando area is a hub for all of the entertainment venues in the region, including Walt Disney World, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios, water damage in Orlando hotels can compromise the consistent higher capacity you can expect year-round. Addressing these concerns must happen immediately. Most water losses affect the flooring most heavily, and therefore, carpeted areas of your structure must get extracted and dried. 

Prolonged moisture and saturation of carpeted areas can lead to multiple concerns, including the development of microbial threats or the degradation of the carpet through delamination. This term refers to a separation of the primary and secondary backing materials on a carpet. Minor separations can get repaired if the carpet gets dried quickly enough, but knowing about compromises to the carpet right away can save time and unnecessary restoration efforts. 

Because saturation is a potential concern, the first steps for our SERVPRO team involve the use of carpet wands and weighted extraction tools to force moisture to the surface of the carpet for removal. Effective removal of the excess water is only part of the equation, however. We must also utilize specific strategies to dry up the carpet and padding completely, including floating the carpet by running variable speed air movers between the carpet and the layer of padding. 

By drying out damaged areas of your hotel after water losses, you can decrease the severity of these conditions and get your business back to normal as quickly as possible. No matter how severe these emergencies might be, it is our business to get you back in business. Give our SERVPRO of West Orange team a call today at (407) 352-1569.
