Wet spot on carpet won t dry.

Continually wet spot on our carpet my wife and i moved into a house about one year ago. Its on opposite side of all plumbing. Next blot the area dry with a clean dry cloth or paper towel. We tried to dry it up but it has stayed wet for a couple weeks.

One of the first ways to spot carpet moisture problems is by the foul odor emanating from the affected area. But it is only wet in this one area and the carpet goes from being really wet to really dry. We have got a wet patch on our carpeted floor about 6inches by 8inches wide. I didn t think much of it i figured i had perhaps spilled water and not noticed.

The carpet is soggy to touch. My parents used to rent it out to a family for 10 years and when we moved in there was very little upkeep done so the last year has been a series of fixing problems as they arise usually simple. Then last night it seemed like there were a few more spots. To rid your carpet of foul smells first blot any strongly affected spots with a damp cloth.

This is a legit concern because in extreme cases over wetting your carpet during cleaning can sometimes leave behind a musty smell. When i stepped on it it got wetter so i used my carpet cleaner to suck up all the water and noticed 10 min later it was just a wet. If you notice a musty odor that just won t go away with vacuuming and regular cleaning you may be dealing with a wet carpet. Turn on any ceiling or household fans in the area to speed things along and be sure to check the floor and carpet padding underneath the carpet to remove any lingering moisture.

Within a week or so the damp spot progressed to a puddle 4 by 6 feet that a wet vac couldn t really keep up with. If left untreated this odor will continue to permeate your indoor air and can really stink up your home. Now give the rug a healthy sprinkle of. When used correctly it should take no longer than 2 hours for your carpet to dry after deep cleaning with a rug doctor deep cleaner.

In my living room nowhere near a window about 4 ft away from my front door and 3 ft away from wall i noticed a damp spot on the floor. This room is on a concrete slab. Is a small area and is away from bathroom kitchen etc. This morning even worse.

Next use a wet dry vacuum or shop vac to suck up as much of the remaining moisture as possible from the carpet fibers. It is on the lower level of a split level house built in 1976. The temporary fix was to rip up the carpet knock a hole in the concrete slab repair the leaking pipe fill in the hole with quickcrete cement and restretch the carpet once it and the pad had dried. Two nights ago i noticed one small wet spot probably 3x3 inches or so on my carpet.
