Don’t let an unprofessional 24 hour carpet cleaner come to repair your carpets damaged by water. These are the signs you must be careful of:

Overcharging. An inexperienced water restoration restorer may pack the job up with unnecessary extras. E.g. using dehumidification on the damaged carpets when it is not needed.

Not using the correct equipment. They can use equipment from hire businesses to dry the carpet. This is permissible, but an experienced water damage cleaner will possess all their equipment so they provide a faster response and hopefully a better value job.

Moisture metre. If they don’t have the proper moisture meter, they will not be able to know if the carpet is repaired. This increases the problem of future mould growth. Removal of the mould would then be required.

Specialised. There are a lot of “Carpet Cleaners” in this industry who do water damage restoration jobs on the “side.” i.e. they aren’t those who do this kind of work often. Be aware of them. Restoring carpet water damage is an art. Taking carpet off the gripper strips then reinstalling them should be done by a professional, otherwise the carpet can be damaged irrepairably.

You could be thinking, how do I decide on a good Flood Restoration professional? Below I have selected some things to check for when you are calling around for a carpet flood damage business:

The size of their Yellow Pages ad slot: This can be an indication as to how much business they get already. A full-size Yellow Pages advertisement can cost around $50 000. When they have paid for a bigger ad, you get some promise that they will deliver the goods.

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

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

Do Insurance companies source them for their carpet damage jobs? This is a very good indicator. If insurance companies use them, the business is probably going to be superb at their skill. Insurance companies tend to use the companies that grant them the best value for money.

What kind of Equipment do they have? They should own at least 100 Air movers. If they own this many, this probably means that they have been established for a good time. It took our business 8 years to own that many wet carpet drying air movers.

What type of commitment can you get out of them by calling them? Try to pin them down to a set fee for water extraction, water removal and initial inspection. If they wouldn’t give you a price for this in the least, you know they are not willing to serve you, so keep looking.

Response Time – Our Water Damage business in Brisbane commits to a 59 minute response time for a water damage emergency. The restoration needs to be responded to ASAP. Mould can come after a 24 hour period.

If you focus on these tips you are sure to find a Flood Damage Restoration business who knows how to do the job right.
