Townsville's 2019 Flood and Carpet Replacement vs Cleaning

The February 2019 Townsville monsoon flood inundated thousands of homes, carpets soaked for more than 24-48 hours in floodwater generally require replacement rather than cleaning due to mould contamination and structural damage to backing. Post-flood homes that had carpets replaced may now have new carpets approaching their first professional cleaning cycle (5-7 years post-installation is optimal for deep cleaning). Townsville's dry season (May-October) is the best time for carpet cleaning given the low humidity. qcat.qld.gov.au
