Don’t allow an unprofessional 24 hour carpet cleaner come to repair your water damaged carpets. These are the worries you have to be watchful of:

Overcharging. An unprofessional water restoration carpet cleaner may build the job up with superfluous steps. E.g. using dehumidification for drying the damaged carpets may not be needed.

Using the correct equipment. They can use equipment from hire businesses for the carpet. This is permissible, but an experienced water damage cleaner will possess all their equipment enabling a speedy response and hopefully a better value job.

Proper moisture metre. If they don’t have the proper moisture meter, they cannot know if the carpet is dry enough. This furthers the risk of future mould growth. Mould removal would then be required in the future.

Specialisation. There are many “Carpet Cleaners” in this industry who do water damage repairs on the “side.” i.e. they aren’t the ones who deal with this kind of task everyday. Be wary of that. Fixing carpets is an art. Taking carpet off the gripper strips then reinstalling them must be done by a professional, otherwise the carpet can be damaged irrepairably.

You could be wondering, how do I choose a proper Flood Restoration professional? Below I have selected some pointers to look out for when hunting around for a carpet flood damage business:

The size of their Yellow Pages advertisement: This can be an indication as to how much business they are getting already. A full-size Yellow Pages ad can cost upwards of $50 000. So if they have got a big ad, you can at least have some assurance that they will deliver the goods.

Where do they come up in Google? The higher they rate in Google, the more “online votes” there have been for their business.

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

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

What kind of Equipment do they have? They should own at minimum 100 Air movers. If they have this many, this indicates they have been established for a while. We took 8 years to acquire that many wet carpet drying air movers.

What level of commitment can you get for them by calling them? Try to pin them down to a price for water extraction, water removal and initial inspection. If they don’t give you a package for this only, you know they are not willing to assist you, so keep looking.
