If you know a spill has occurred, you need to make sure the padding is being assessed for damage and not just the carpet. Those who pay attention to these factors will be able to replace the carpet padding well in advance.

Those who wait too long are going to face severe consequences both financially and with regards to the aesthetic value of the property itself. Property owners who refuse to look at and/or change the carpet padding often notice how the carpet begins to fray and lose its aesthetic appeal. If that is the case, you are already well behind. Make sure to keep tabs on the carpet padding and replace it before the carpet is effected as that can become an expensive mistake to deal with.
