Mold can start growing as quickly as 24-to 48-hours after damage from water. And, even clean water can become hazardous the longer it sits. Water can come in contact with dirt in the carpet or soil from ground outside and become contaminated with dangerous bacteria that can make your family sick.
Our professionals understand how important it is to remove water quickly and thoroughly. Once we know what needs to be done, we begin our state of the art water restoration process.
The least amount of water, absorption and evaporation. It affects only part of a room or area, or larger areas containing materials that have absorbed minimal moisture. Little or no wet carpet and/or pad is present.
This involves a large amount of water, absorption and evaporation. It affects at least an entire room and has absorbed into carpeting and walls.
The greatest amount of water, absorption and evaporation. Water may have come from overhead. Ceilings, walls, insulation, carpet, pad and subfloor in virtually the entire area are saturated. Class 3 damaged is considered the worst.
Specialty drying situations. Wet materials with very low permanence/porosity (hardwood, concrete and stone). These types of losses may require longer drying times and special methods.
Damage originates from a sanitary source and poses no substantial risk from dermal, ingestion, or inhalation exposure. Category 1 damage can degrade into Category 2 or 3 if it sits too long.
Damage contains significant contamination and has potential to cause discomfort or sickness if contacted or consumed by humans. It involves damage from “grey water”, such as washing machine or dishwasher containing detergents. It may also involve water containing urine from toilet overflows.
Involves grossly contaminated water. Category 3 water comes from sewage, river flooding and standing water that has begun growing bacteria and other microbes.
Trained technicians are called in to remove all standing water utilizing professional extraction equipment and/or pumps. When necessary, sections of base molding, drywall, floor tiles, ceiling tiles, etc. may be removed, along with insulation, in order to better access hidden damp or wet areas.
Carpeting is pulled up and salvaged whenever possible. Wet padding may be removed and discarded to aid in the drying process.
In order to speed the drying process and quickly reduce the humidity to a safe level, commercial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers are brought to the job site and strategically arranged throughout the affected areas of the property. We use only the most current, high-tech drying equipment available. De-humidification process is critical to preventing the growth of mold. We also use EPA-approved disinfectants to help minimize the presence of fungi, mold, viruses and other microorganisms that may have appeared as a result of the intrusion.
Important documents, works of art, furniture, draperies, computers, appliances and other electronic equipment are thoroughly cleaned, dried and brought back to pre-damage conditions wherever possible.
The site is continually re-inspected over the course of the next few days to assure that the drying process is proceeding properly. Once it is determined that the affected areas are dry, and the water restoration is complete, any additional services required, such as carpet repair work, padding replacement, and carpet cleaning, are scheduled with the insured.

Sometimes the only time we remember to clean our carpets is when there are obvious stains. It makes sense – you may have spilled coffee or wine or the dogs could be extra dirty – and suddenly your carpet looks bad. The thing is, it is a good idea to steam clean your carpets at regular intervals. It will protect them and extend their lives, and of course your carpets will always look good.
Steam cleaning is the best option for carpets. It is a gentle option and so no damage is done to your carpets during the steaming process. Scrubbing a carpet with a hard brush and soap filled with chemicals can cause damage and cause your carpet to look older and frayed. Steam cleaning does the exact opposite. It protects the fibers of your carpet, no matter what they are made from, therefore protecting the carpet from wear and tear. Steam cleaning also protects your carpets from fading and will extend the life of your carpets.
Having a clean carpet, or clean carpeting, has numerous health advantages! You may not see them, but a dirty carpet is filled with dust mites and other bacteria and unknown gremlins, none of which are good for your health. In the same way you clean your house to get rid of unwanted dirt, you should clean your carpet too.
ou should get a professional carpet cleaner to come in, every once in a while. You can choose how often you need to have your carpets cleaned – it may be every four months, every year, more or less, depending on your living environment. If you have dogs and cats or lots of kids or teens who are constantly coming in and out, then you probably need to have your carpet cleaned fairly regularly.
Like anything, go with word of mouth recommendations. If your neighbors have a carpet cleaning company that they swear by, then use them.
