  • I have an inquiry with regard's to the cleaning of carpets.
    When using a carpet cleaner for general use, with normal amount's of water
    would it be a normal occurance for the water to soak through the carpet onto
    the sub boards causing so much damage as to needing to replace the sub boards.
    Logically speaking I would assume not, especially if the carpet dried within
    a short period of time.
    Can you please advise on whether this would be something that can easily
    happen?

    Please let me know your thoughts.
    Thank you so much.

    Did this actually happen to you?
    Who was doing the cleaning?
    What equipment was used?
    If the carpet was dry in a short period of time, if you could stand it in stocking feet and not get wet, it wasn't the carpet cleaning that produced the end condition.
    Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

    I used a rug doctor rental.
    My reason for asking is because my landlord is refusing my damage deposit return and claiming I ruined her carpets and sub boards.
    I don't believe I did, and the carpets were dry within a day.
    This even suprised me because it's a very damp apartment.

    Contact a lawyer who would contact an IICRC Professional to assess the damage and gather photographic evidence.  Sue big, get your legal fees paid for by her as well.

    Sometimes all it takes is a letter from a lawyer to shake the money from her grabbing hands.

    The damage is done the only way to determine if you did the damage is to try and determine how much of the damage was pre-existing.  If it was dry in a day how did they determine the subfloor was damaged??

    I found a free resource you can use to understand more about carpets. Its the Carpet Cleaning Institute.

    Good Luck.

    Sounds like you tried to save a penny and took a bath. Next time, hire a good professional and don't opt for the use of a rental toy. You probably caused mold growth as well.

    If you're in Ontario I am pretty sure it is illegal for a landlord to request/take a security/damage deposit. My brother is a landlord and is the one who told me this.

    The answer is no. Especially if the cleaner knows what he is doing.

    That should never happen with proper cleaning today.  Maybe 30-40 years ago when they soaked down the carpets and left them soggy for days.
