Carpet Cleaning after Disasters or Floods
Have you spoken with your insurance company?
The most crucial initial step is to get in touch with your insurance provider if you have significant water damage or another big calamity. They can have a specific claim procedure you must adhere to, and they might help you select a restoration business to handle the process.
Non-flood Disasters
We have experience dealing with minor smoke damage in carpets and upholstery, but for complicated disasters like fires, it’s crucial to have a restoration company assess the overall situation and help determine the best course of action. This is because our services won’t deal with smoke damage to walls, ceilings, and other household contents.
Grey water versus clean water
Sewage and used water can both be polluted with bacteria and other harmful substances, necessitating a more thorough cleanup. That’s why we can only help with clean water leaks where water extraction is needed.
- Clean water could come from:
Rainwater
Dishwasher
Washing machine
Hot water tank leak
-
Grey water is water that has already been used (in a home or a business).
Grey Water or Sewage sources would be:
Sump pumps or floor drains
Sinks
Showers
Toilets
Costs of Flood Cleanup
Flood cleanup is priced on an hourly basis rather than per room or area. Due to the variance in time dependent on the
flood conditions and the size of the area, pricing will be assessed on-site. Depending on the extent of the flood,
cleanup may take several hours. There will be necessary Benefect™ treatment costs as well.
Flood Clean-up Process
Cleaning up after a flood requires a different approach than regular cleaning.
Before we enter the room or carpeted area where the flood occurred, all furniture and other belongings must be removed.
Carpets will be pulled back, and the underlay will be removed.
Arrangements will be made to replace the underlay and reinstall the carpeting.
Our powerful vacuum will be used to extract the water.
To stop the growth of bacteria, the carpet will be cleaned on both sides and the flooring will be treated with Benefect™.
After cleaning, the carpet have enough time to dry completely.Using fans, additional heat, and air circulation can fasten this process.
FAQ's For Carpet Cleaning
Many homeowners make the mistake of assuming their carpet and furniture are clean just because they look clean. What they may not realize is that, over time, even the most spotless looking carpets and upholstery soil quite evenly and lose their original luster . They also collect dust and soil below the surface where regular vacuum cleaning may not reach. To increase the useful life of your carpets, most carpet manufacturers recommend you have carpets cleaned every 12-18 months before you may recognize they are dirty.
There can be a large difference between one carpet cleaning method and another. Many carpet cleaning systems are designed to be fast and inexpensive and to give a carpet cleaning company more profit while leaving carpets that only look good on the surface and re-soil rapidly.

Happy with the service overall. The Gentlemen were courteous, friendly and did a great job. Small issue/suggestion: I noticed there was a lot of dust blow on the furnace room floor, boxes and mudroom that I had to clean up after they left. Wish they had doublechecked and cleaned up the mess created.
