IICRC-certified: (818) 336-1800.
The first 48 hours of fire cleanup set the trajectory for your entire recovery — both structurally and for your insurance claim.

Drying wet carpet fast requires immediate action — extract as much water as possible, lift the carpet to expose the padding beneath, run fans and dehumidifiers continuously, and check progress with a moisture meter.

This guide covers the fastest drying sequence, when carpet and padding must be replaced vs. dried in place, and when professional extraction is needed. Call (818) 336-1800.
