titleWater Damaged Carpet Cleaning Home Truths/titleDon’t allow a novice 24 hour carpet cleaner attempt to repair your carpets damaged by water. These are the things you should be watchful of: pstrongOvercharging./strong An amateur water restoration cleaner may fill the job up with superfluous extras. E.g. using dehumidification to dry the flooded carpets unnecessarily. pstrongNot having the correct equipment./strong They may use equipment from hire companies to dry the carpet. This is ok to do, but an established water damage cleaner will own all their equipment so they can offer a speedy response and hopefully a better value job. pstrongMoisture metre./strong If they don’t have the proper moisture meter, they cannot know if the carpet is dry. This furthers the potential of mould in future. Removal of this would then be required in the future. pstrongSpecialisation./strong There are many Carpet Cleaners in this industry who do restoration jobs on the side. i.e. they aren’t those who do this kind of repair every day. Be aware of this. Fixing water damage to carpets is an art. Taking carpet off the gripper strips then reinstalling them should be done by a professional, otherwise they can be permanently damaged. pYou may be thinking, how do I decide on a good Flood Restoration techinician? Below I have selected some signifiers to look out for when you are calling around for a carpet flood damage business: pstrongWhat size is their Yellow Pages ad slot:/strong This can signify how much repair work they do already. A full-size Yellow Pages advertisement can cost more than $50 000. When they have invested in a big ad, you have some indication that they are established. pstrongWhere do they show up in Google?/strong The higher the rate in Google, the more click-ins there have been for this business. pstrongWhat Qualifications do they have?/strong The fundamental qualification they need is a IICRC qualification of Applied Structural Drying and Water Damage Restoration. pstrongDo Insurance companies source them for water damage jobs?/strong This is a very good indicator. If insurance companies source them, the business is likely to be excellent at their work. Insurance companies often use the businesses that offer them the top value for money. pstrongWhat kind of Equipment do they have?/strong They should own about 100 Air movers. If they own this many, this is a good indicator that they have been in the game for a good time. Our business took 8 years to own that many wet carpet drying air movers. pstrongWhat sort of commitment can you get from them with a phone call?/strong 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 fee for only this, you know they are not willing to serve you, so move on. pstrongResponse Time/strongOur Water Damage business based in Brisbane is premised to a 59 minute response time to water damage emergency.
