Don’t have a novice 24 hour carpet cleaner try to repair your water damaged carpets. These are the cautions you should be watchful of:

Overcharging. An inexperienced water restoration restorer may pack the job up with superfluous extras. E.g. using dehumidification for the flooded carpets isn’t always needed.

Having the correct equipment. They sometimes hire equipment from hire businesses for the carpet. This is all right, but a professional water damage restorer will possess all their equipment to enable a quicker response and hopefully a better value job.

Does not have a proper moisture metre. If they don’t have the right moisture meter, they can’t tell if the carpet is dry. This enhances the problem of mould in future. Removal of this would then be required in the future.

They are not Specialised. There are a lot of “Carpet Cleaners” in this industry who do water damage repair jobs on the “side.” i.e. they aren’t those who complete this kind of job often. Be careful of this. Drying carpets is an art. Taking carpet off the gripper strips then reinstalling them must be taken on by a professional, otherwise carpets can be permanently damaged.

You could be pondering, how do I find a credible Flood Restoration Business? Below I have listed some signifiers to look for when you are calling around for a carpet flood damage business:

The size of their Yellow Pages ad slot: This can be a sign of how much work they do already. A full-size Yellow Pages ad can cost more than $50 000. So if they have got a larger ad, you have some assurance that they are established.

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

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

Do Insurance companies source them for their carpet water damage jobs? This is a top indicator. If insurance companies hire them, the business is bound to be excellent at their skill. Insurance companies tend to use the providers that give them the better value for money.

What Equipment do they have? They should own about 100 Air movers. If they have this many, this probably means that they have been established for a good while. Our business took 8 years to acquire that many wet carpet drying air movers.

What kind of commitment can you get from them through a phone call? Ask if you can pin them down to a set fee for water extraction, water removal and initial inspection. If they wouldn’t give you a package for this in the least, you know they are not going to serve you, so keep looking.
