I have some wet carpet in a house put there by a tree limb that went through the roof and it was raining. It flooded 3 rooms and a
hall way and we are talking wet and not just damp. I called State Farm Insurance company and their adjuster came out and looked at
it and said that they did not replace carpet anymore when a house floods. He told me that the only thing they would do is send in
their carpet man / not my carpet man and have him remove the carpet and replace the pad and dry the carpet and lay the old carpet
back down. I told him the carpet has been wet for close to a week waiting on you to look at it and the carpet will not fit back
right and have wrinkles in it after you relay it. He allowed $350.00 for their man to clean and remove the pad and said that all we
will do. I just had all the carpet replaced and run his ass out of my Rent house. To recarpet the area was $1,750.00 , fix the roof
, replace one rafter replace the insulation in attic of the area, replace ceilitex ceiling , and shingles was $1,400.00. That come
to $3,150.00 and i have $250.00 deductiable with exact replacement cost of items in the home. The cost after deductiable would be
$2,900.00 and they was so nice to just send me $1,200.00. I call about the roof not being fully paid and they said their roof
repairman could have done it much cheaper than $1,400.00. I pay more than $12k a year in premiums and been with them for 20 or more
years and they will be getting the ax this year but I have some questions here.

1) If you relay Carpet after it has been wet for a week. Will it cause it to wrinkle up? I have seen some relayed on a friend
house like this and it did not fit back right and did wrinkled up in about 3 months. This is where my thoughts are coming from.

2) These State Farm hands that dry and clean the carpet really get all the mole, bugs, whatever out of this carpet ?

3) Is this a good thing to do by relaying the 5 year old carpet on new pad?

4) What is your thoughts on relaying wet carpet ?

Yey look in the yellow pages and call a pro... thats what you got to do
if you want it done right... and the state farm guys are just messing
with you.. if you have replacement coverage then they should give you
full coverage to replace the stuff.. if its not the same when repaired
then you complain and get them to replace it....
