Wet can show up in the middle of the night, often after a storm rolls through, when a pipe bursts under the sink, or when the washing machine decides today’s the day to quit. When this happens, our wet carpet drying in Melbourne brings it back to life the right way.
Choosing the right company for your restoration project is about getting the work done quickly, efficiently and without drama. At DryX, that’s exactly what we do.
Our helpful and friendly team will get you back to business as fast as possible.
We’ve carried out wet carpet drying in Melbourne for more than 3 decades.
Expect state of the art drying equipment that makes for the best possible results.
We specialise in both residential and commercial wet carpet restoration projects.
Not all wet carpets are the same and not all “carpet drying” companies treat them that way. We do things differently. Our team will actually diagnose what your carpet needs and not just blast it with air, removing as much water as possible at the start. The right work is done to protect the underlay, the subfloor and the surrounding spaces (the parts that often get ignored), plus we work with every carpet type including plush wool and low-pile commercial flooring.
Lastly, we always use commercial-grade drying systems and not cheap fans you could buy online. When carpet is wet, you have a short window before mould starts forming. That’s why our wet carpet drying in Melbourne is carried out quickly and why people trust Dry X with their home or business.
We service all Sunshine Coast suburbs.

Our process for wet carpet drying in Melbourne is all about acting fast, protecting the structure beneath your flooring and restoring carpets wherever possible.

When you contact us, we take the time to really get to know what caused the carpet to become wet and how long the water has been present. This information is then used and a prompt on-site response is arranged.
Once on-site, our technician inspects the carpet, underlay, and surrounding materials. We make a note of moisture levels, assess contamination risks and determine whether the carpet can be safely restored or if further action is required.
We address any electrical or slip hazards caused by the water. Furniture is carefully moved or protected before drying begins. The work area is also prepared to allow efficient drying without causing additional damage.
We remove as much water as possible from the carpet and underlay using commercial-grade extraction equipment. This step is critical, because effective water removal will significantly reduce the drying time and lower the risk of mould growth.
If the water source presents a contamination risk, we clean and sanitise the carpet to remove bacteria, residues, and odours. This ensures the carpet is not only dry, but also hygienic and safe for ongoing use.
Specialised air movers and dehumidifiers are installed to dry the carpet evenly and thoroughly. Our drying setup is tailored to the room layout, carpet type, and Melbourne’s ambient conditions to avoid over-drying or damage.
The monitor moisture readings and equipment placement is adjusted as needed. We do this so all trapped moisture is removed from the carpet and underlay, not just the surface fibres.
Once drying is complete, we carry out a final inspection to confirm the carpet has reached safe moisture levels. We provide clear confirmation that the area is ready for use, along with documentation for insurance purposes if required.
Most of the time the answer is no. If attended to quickly, many carpets can be successfully restored without needing to rip anything up. Carpet may need replacing if:
We’ll always give you honest advice, backed by moisture readings and photos. If it can be saved, we’ll save it. If not, we’ll guide you through next steps.

Wet carpet should be addressed as soon as possible. In Melbourne conditions, moisture can remain trapped in underlay and subfloors, increasing the risk of mould growth and persistent odours. Prompt professional drying significantly improves the chance of saving the carpet.
This depends on how saturated the underlay is, how long it has been wet, and the type of water involved. In many cases, underlay can be dried successfully if treated quickly. If replacement is required, we’ll explain the reasoning and support it with moisture readings.
Many insurance policies cover wet carpet restoration when water damage is sudden and accidental. We assist with reports, photos, and moisture logs to help support your claim and simplify the process.
Most of our projects for wet carpet drying in Melbourne take between one and several days, depending on saturation levels, airflow, and building materials. We monitor progress daily and adjust equipment to achieve safe drying as efficiently as possible.
In most cases, yes. Our equipment is installed safely and we assess the space before starting. If any temporary precautions are required, we’ll explain them clearly.
If it’s safe, stop the water source and avoid walking on the wet carpet to prevent further damage. Avoid lifting carpet or using household fans, as this can spread moisture. Once you contact DryX, we’ll guide you until we arrive.
