Plugged in my shop vac to the plug above the sump pump (over-head plug) when I finished I lazily yanked the cord out of the plug; not knowing that I caught the sump pump cord also. Went the whole night without the sump running and we had a good amount of rain. I go down to feed my dog the next morning and notice the water and swear very loudly. The water only got to about an 9ft by 7ft area (luckily?) I shampooed the shit out of it to no avail. Last night I finally ripped up the carpet and took up the pad (removed the pad only) The carpet can still be salvaged. Anyway, does anyone know of a good antimicrobial product I can use to treat the carpet?
hno:
You took care of the main problem by removing the padding, which will never dry...Obviously make damn sure the carpet is totally dry before replacing the padding if you chose to do so..I have had mold problems after carpet moisture and had great success with safe shield..

I found HARRINGTON back behind the workbench smoking a phattie and trying to fan the smoke out the little side window that's at ground level.
