Remember When Homes Had Carpet Installed in the Restrooms.

Damaged carpet due to leak in restroom. Thankfully it's easy to remove the carpet for SERVPRO of Highland N. Redlands.

It is very rare nowadays to see set carpet in a restroom. In older homes like this one, it was very normal.  Unfortunately for this homeowner, the carpet became a nightmare after the home suffered from water damages.  The water heater had a sudden burst that flooded the home in several areas. Unfortunately, the carpet absorbed the water like a sponge. To prevent moisture entrapment and mold growth, SERVPRO of Highland/ N. Redlands had to pull the carpet.  The upside about the loss is the customer is now excited to install tile instead of carpet. As she said, even though the carpet feels nice under the feet, it's not worth having in case of a leak. She is excited about having tile in her restroom. It will give it a fresh look.
