Don’t have an unprofessional 24 hour carpet cleaner come to repair your carpets with water damage. These are the cautions you need to be wary of:

Overcharging. An inexperienced water restoration restorer may load the job up with unnecessary steps. E.g. using dehumidification to dry the flooded carpets isn’t always needed.

Not having the correct equipment. They may hire equipment from hire places for the carpet. This is all right, but an established water damage cleaner will have all their equipment to provide 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 see whether the carpet is repaired. This enhances the problem of mould in future. Removal of this may be required.

Specialisation. There are many “Carpet Cleaners” in this industry who do water damage repair work on the “side.” i.e. they aren’t those who do this sort of job often. Be wary of this. Repairing carpets is an art. Taking carpet off the gripper strips then reinstalling them has to be done by a professional, otherwise the carpet can be damaged irrepairably.

You could be asking, how do I find a proper Flood Restoration techinician? Below I have listed some things to look for when hunting around for a carpet flood damage business:

What size is 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 about $50 000. If they have invested in a larger ad, you have some assurance that they are professionals.

Where do they show in Google? The higher they rate in Google, the more webpage clicks there are for the business.

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

Do Insurance companies source them for their carpet damage jobs? This is a great indicator. If insurance companies hire them, the business is very likely to be good at their job. Insurance companies often use the providers that offer them the best value for their client’s money.

How much Equipment do they have? They should own at least 100 Air movers. If they possess this many, this indicates they have been established for some time. It took our business 8 years to build up that many wet carpet drying air movers.

What type of commitment can you get for them by calling over the phone? See if you can pin them down to a set price for water extraction, water removal and initial inspection. If they don’t give you a package for this at the least, you know they are not willing to serve you, so look elsewhere.
