This post mitigation photo shows that when you call SERVPRO it will quickly be "Like it never even happened."

When heavy rainfall overwhelmed this customer's sump pump, they were distraught about the idea that they would not be able to use their Living Room and Dining Room for months while it was being repaired. Fortunately, they called SERVPRO of Benton, Jasper, Newton and Southern Lake Counties, who informed them that their carpet could be saved. The crew arrived shortly after the first notice of loss, and they were able to use special weighted extraction equipment to remove almost all of the water from the affected carpet. They then set drying equipment to remove the rest of the moisture. While their baseboards had to be detached to dry the drywall and framing behind them, resetting them was a quick project and the home looked "Like it never even happened."
