Rug Flood Damage Repair Needs Are Often Overlooked

Anytime you notice an unpleasant musty odor – usually considered “old” – it is often a sign of mold or mildew related damage. Rug water damage doesn’t always happen from floods; something as simple as setting a potted plant on the rug for an extended period of time may have led to the growth of mold in the past. Unless professionally treated, mold spores can remain in the rug for years.
