Likely further damage
Lower restoration costs
Enhanced drying time

The correct answer is: Likely further damage

Carpet delamination refers to the separation of the carpet's surface from its backing, which can occur due to excessive moisture, poor installation, or degradation over time. Discovering delamination during restoration indicates that the carpet has likely suffered significant structural damage. This condition not only compromises the integrity of the carpeting but can also lead to additional issues, such as mold growth or unpleasant odors if not addressed promptly. Further damage may manifest as a complete loss of the carpet's functional features, meaning that it might require replacement rather than restoration. This makes it imperative for restoration technicians to assess the extent of the delamination fully and determine appropriate action, which often involves more extensive intervention to ensure the area is properly restored to a safe and usable condition.
