Newer homes: what to ask
Newer houses often have wall-to-wall carpet over pad, drywall and engineered or particle-board subfloor. These soak up fluids and usually cannot be cleaned in place, so expect the company to talk about cutting out and replacing sections.
Ask whether the company replaces what it removes or only removes it, and ask your insurer the same question before work starts. If the home is under a builder’s or a homeowners association’s rules, check those too.
