Repairing Flooded Carpet: A cheap job is a good job right? Wrong….

Don’t permit an unprofessional 24 hour carpet cleaner come to repair your carpets with water damage. These are the worries you must be watchful of:

Overcharging. An inexperienced water restoration cleaner may pack the job up with superfluous inclusions. E.g. using dehumidification for the water damaged carpets may not be needed.

Having the correct equipment. They can borrow equipment from hire companies to dry the carpet. This is permissible, but an experienced water damage technician will have all their equipment enabling a speedy response and hopefully a better value job.

Does not have a proper moisture metre. If they don’t have the proper moisture meter, they will not be able to tell when the carpet is repaired. This increases the danger of mould in future. Removal of this would then be required.

If they aren’t specialised. There are a whole lot of “Carpet Cleaners” in this industry who do water damage repair work on the “side.” i.e. they don’t deal with this kind of job each day. Be careful of that. Repairing carpet water damage is an art. Removing and repairing and reinstalling the carpet has to be done by a professional, otherwise the carpet can be damaged irrepairably.

You might be wondering, how do I find a good Flood Restoration professional? Below I have selected some signifiers to look for when you are calling around for a carpet flood damage business:

How big is their Yellow Pages advertisement: This can be an indication as to how much work they do already. A full-size Yellow Pages ad can cost upwards of $50 000. If they have paid for a big ad, you get some expectation that they are established.

Where do they rank in Google? The higher they rate in Google, the more webpage views there have been for the business.

What Qualifications do they have? The minimum qualification they require is a IICRC qualification for Applied Structural Drying and Water Damage Restoration.

Do Insurance companies hire them for water damage jobs? This is a better indicator. If insurance companies use them, the business is very likely to be good at their skill. Insurance companies will use the providers that give them the better value for their money.

How much Equipment do they have? They should at least own 100 Air movers. If they possess this many, this indicates they have been up and running for a while. We took 8 years to acquire that many wet carpet drying air movers.

What kind of commitment can you get out of them on a phone call? Ask if you can pin them down to a fee for water extraction, water removal and initial inspection. If they can’t give you a package for this only, you know they are not willing to assist you, so go with someone else.
