ag,
I was called out to a flooded house over the weekend, a pipe had burst and flooded out the rooms to about 2" deep she said, I got there on Sat am. Water damage to polyprop carpet nearly all of a room about 12' x 9' and rooms off all had water damage of about a yard into the doorways.
The house is a 'Ponderosa' style and the rooms off are all plain coloured Axminsters where you could see the water very easily, she doesnt want the hassle of replacing them. I sucked up the water from the main room and blended it in by spraying an acid rinse around the area that wasnt flooded, that way blending in the damaged area so in effect all the carpet is 'wet'. So when it dries it should be the same colour. We took up the damaged underlay and installed a fan to dry it all out.
There is a study next door so we wet all the carpet to give uniform appearance, she is dead chuffed with it so far. Booked in a service call today at 4 to see how things are.
Oh and she runs a property maintenance co so am well based to get more work.
Regards
Murky
