Carpets tend to absorb the worst of any disaster. Floods soak the fabric, and can leak down to ruin the flooring underneath. If a fire doesn’t completely consume the carpet, it will leave ugly scorch marks on the surface. All this is why you’ll eventually need professional carpet cleaning.

The carpet needs to look good for the rest of the home to be of any quality; even the nicest furniture looks bad on a burned carpet. Failure to get professional carpet cleaning will turn your home into a disaster zone, and will likely lower the resale value.
