Carpet Browning In Carpet After a Water Damage.

What Causes your carpet to generate a brown coloration, especially when you experience a water damage?

There are basically two reasons for your carpet to generate browning coloration.  One of the reasons is the carpet has taken on additional particulates and minerals from the water, and in the drying process.  The residue left behind may generate a brown coloration.  A second reason, is because the pH of the carpet fiber has been elevated.  This is especially true of our "newer" generation of carpet with their carpet protector application.  When the pH of the carpet, and more specifically, the application of carpet protector becomes too alkaline (too high of a pH), then the pH of the carpet needs to be lowered.
