How To Choose Carpets For Your House.


How to choose carpets for your house.

Carpet is the floor cover material that generally has lifetime for about 2-3 years and then need to be changed. So every time you buy a carpet, you need to consider choosing a carpet for your house.

Carpets can be divided into 2 types

Handmade carpets

Handmade usually made from natural fabric such as wool, cotton, silk. These natural fabric will then be dyed and stitched with other materials to make carpets. Handmade carpets are generally the most expensive than other type because they required time and skilled labor to produce.

Manufactured carpets

Use machine to produce, so it can be produced in a massive amount in a short period of time. And due its price, which generally cheaper than handmade type, this type of carpet generally used in building such as houses and offices. At present time there is a new type of carpet, which commonly known as ?carpet tile?, which you can replace only the piece that broken or no longer used. However, this new type is very expensive so it does not much popular.

Water damaged carpet, what can be done?



Water damage can come in many varieties, from a spilling a single bucket to a complete basement flooding. How you approach your carpet clean up will also depend on the quality of the water if it is clean water, like rain water, or is it from a sewer backup. Each situation should be evaluated on an individual basis, but here are some general guidelines.


First the obvious try to stop the water at the source to eliminate further damage. Check behind the walls as water may be trapped in the insulation or behind the vapor barrier. Next remove all furniture from the room, lift up the edges of the carpet and remove the uderpadding and discard. Extract as much of the water as possible, try to do this soon as you can, as bacteria and mold can set in quickly. Note - depending on the size and scope of damage it may be worth calling in a professional. After you have extracted as much of the water as possible treat the carpet with a disinfectant. Finally prop up the carpet to let airflow get under the carpet and put fans throughout the room to speed up the drying process.


Unsanitary water has many more health issues and concerns and you must take some precautions. Using rubber gloves and rubber boots is a must. I would recommend calling in a professional technician to handle this type of problem. The damage may not be isolated to just the carpeting it could extend to the drywall, insulation and wood studs. This type of water damage if not handled properly could pose a serious health risk.
