Signs to look for

When to call us for padding removal

Our restoration team explains it this way: If you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

The cushion does not spring back when you press it

We make this part easier to understand: Press a spot with your thumb and watch what happens.

The floor feels mushy and does not spring back

For a calmer next step, remember this: Healthy cushion recovers under your foot.

The room smells sour within a day or two

For a calmer next step, remember this: Odor almost always comes from the cushion rather than the carpet face.

The water came from a toilet, from sewage or from outdoors

Our restoration team explains it this way: Cushion is porous and cannot be cleaned in place, so that cushion is removed rather than dried.

You can see the pad pattern printed through the carpet

To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: Wet rebond pad transfers its color and its speckled pattern into the carpet backing.

The cushion crumbles when a corner is lifted

To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: Urethane foam that tears apart in your hand has lost its bond.

What happens

How we handle padding removal

Our restoration team adjusts the work to what you can see is wet, where the water reached, and the materials that can be saved.

A read of both layers before anything is detached

Our restoration team uses this point to organize the work: We meter the carpet, the cushion and the subfloor separately with a moisture meter.

Contents moved and blocked off the floor

Our restoration team uses this point to organize the work: Furniture comes off the working area and metal or wood feet get blocked.

Extraction before the tear out, not after

Our restoration team explains it this way: We pull as much water as possible out of the cushion first so it is not dripping across your house on the way out.

The carpet detached at the tack strip, not cut

We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: The carpet is released from one or two edges with a flat tool and folded back on itself.

Cushion cut into strips and bagged

We make this part easier to understand: The pad gets cut in manageable strips, rolled, and bagged at the room so water and crumbs do not travel.

The deck cleaned and stapled flat

A clear recovery plan starts with this detail: Old staples, crumbs and pad residue are removed from the subfloor so the new cushion sits flat.

  1. 1

    Walk us through what soaked the floor

    Your call
  2. 2

    Get weight off the carpet and stop walking on it

    Our restoration team explains it this way: Every step compresses saturated cushion and pushes water into the carpet backing and the deck.

    +5 minutes
  3. 3

    Both layers read and the decision made out loud

    Our restoration team explains it this way: A technician meters the carpet, the cushion and the subfloor and helps reveal you the numbers.

    On arrival
  4. 4

    Water pulled out of the cushion first

    Before we move forward, we help you understand this: Extraction reduces the weight and the mess before anything is lifted.

    First hour on site
  5. 5

    Carpet released and folded back, cushion out

    Here is what this means for your property: One or two edges come off the tack strip, then the pad is cut in strips, rolled, bagged and carried out with its staples.

    Day 1
  6. 6

    Bare deck cleaned, then equipment on it

    Day 1, evening
  7. 7

    Deck read daily with the carpet still folded

    We make this part easier to understand: The subfloor is the layer that decides this job, so it gets the readings.

    Day 2 to 3

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: We explain in plain language the recommended restoration steps and price before you approve the job. We make this part easier to understand: These examples show what can sometimes change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Wet carpet padding removal and disposal, per square footA clear recovery plan starts with this detail: National estimate covering removal, bagging and disposal of the cushion layer sitting on the deck.$0.50 to $1.50
New carpet cushion supplied and installed, per square footWe keep the next decision simple by explaining this: National estimate.$0.60 to $1.50
Pad out and carpet relay for one room, all inBefore we move forward, we help you understand this: National estimate for a typical bedroom sized room, covering tear out, disposal, new cushion, stretch and tuck.$250 to $700
Whole floor pad replacement with carpet reinstalled, per square footWe make this part easier to understand: National estimate combining removal, disposal, new cushion and the flooring labor to relay and stretch the carpet.$1.70 to $4.50
Tack strip replacement, per linear footTo help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: National estimate for replacing rusted or split strip at the perimeter before the carpet goes back down.$1 to $3
Debris haul away for one floor of wet cushionWe keep the next decision simple by explaining this: National estimate.$50 to $250

  • Square footage of cushion coming out
    As we walk you through the work, we clarify this: We measure the wet area, which is generally smaller than the room.

  • Pad type and what replaces it
    Our monitored-drying plan is based on this: Bonded urethane foam is the typical and inexpensive option.

  • Pad density and thickness
    Our restoration team explains it this way: Density is carefully mapped in pounds per cubic foot and it is what you pay for.

  • Cushion glued down to a concrete slab
    Our monitored-drying plan is based on this: On slab construction the pad is many times glued rather than stapled.

  • Furniture and access
    A clear recovery plan starts with this detail: A room full of heavy contents adds labor before a single strip is cut.

  • Disposal volume
    Here is what this means for your property: Wet cushion is bulky and heavy, and disposal is priced by volume.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Before we move forward, we help you understand this: Water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

The cushion keeps the deck wet indefinitely

To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: A saturated pad holds water directly against the subfloor with no airflow.

The odor is locked in a layer nobody can rinse

For a calmer next step, remember this: Soil settles inside the cushion, and a pad cannot be rinsed while it lies on your floor.

Pad crumbs and dye stain the carpet backing

Our restoration team explains it this way: Wet rebond pad breaks down and transfers its color into the carpet above it.

Compression is permanent, so the floor feels dead

We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: Cushion that stays flattened has lost its cell structure.

Common questions

Questions about padding removal

Does wet carpet padding always have to be replaced?

Here is what this means for your property: Not always, but generally. We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: Clean water caught within a day can sometimes be dried in place by floating the carpet.

Why does the pad fail when the carpet survives?

Our restoration team explains it this way: Cushion is porous and open cell, so it fills with water and holds it against the deck.

Can my carpet be saved if the pad is dead?

We make this part easier to understand: Very many times yes. A clear recovery plan starts with this detail: We detach the carpet from the tack strip rather than cutting it, then dry both faces while it is folded back.

What kind of pad should I replace it with?

To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: Match what was there, using pad density and thickness rather than feel.

How much does carpet padding removal cost?

We use this detail to guide the recovery plan: Removal and disposal is commonly $0.50 to $1.50 per square foot nationally.

How long does the whole pad out job take?

We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: The tear out itself is a few hours. As we walk you through the work, we clarify this: The bare deck generally dries in two to three days.

Will my carpet fit properly when it goes back down?

A clear recovery plan starts with this detail: Yes when it is stretched with a knee kicker and a power stretcher rather than pushed back by hand.
