Don’t allow an amateur 24 hour carpet cleaner show up to repair your carpets damaged by water. These are the signs you need to be wary of:

Overcharging. An amateur water restoration carpet cleaner may pack the job up with extra inclusions. E.g. using dehumidification for drying the water damaged carpets unnecessarily.

Not having the correct equipment. They sometimes hire equipment from hire places for drying the carpet. This is acceptable, but an established water damage cleaner will own all their equipment to enable a speedy response and hopefully a better value job.

Moisture metre. If they don’t have the correct moisture meter, they cannot see if the carpet is repaired. This enhances the problem of future mould. Removal of the mould may be required.

Specialised. There are many “Carpet Cleaners” in this industry who do repair repairs on the “side.” i.e. they aren’t the ones who complete this type of job each day. Be careful of this. Fixing water damage to carpets is an art. Reinstalling carpets on the gripper strips is best to be taken on by a professional, otherwise the carpet can be damaged incontrovertibly.

You might be wondering, how do I locate a professional Flood Restoration techinician? Below I have selected some things to look out for when you hunt around for a carpet flood damage business:

What size is their Yellow Pages advertisement: This can indicate how much business they have already. A full-size Yellow Pages ad slot can cost upwards of $50 000. If they have got a larger ad, you have some expectation that they will deliver the goods.

Where do they come up in Google? The higher they rate in Google, the more webpage clicks there are for that 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 own water damage jobs? This is a top indicator. If insurance companies source them, the business is likely to be excellent at their work. Insurance companies will use the providers that grant them the best value for their money.

How much Equipment do they have? They should own a minimum of 100 Air movers. If they possess this many, this means they have been running for a while. It took our business 8 years to acquire that many wet carpet drying air movers.

What sort of commitment can you get from them with a phone call? Try to pin them down to a set price for water extraction, water removal and initial inspection. If they wouldn’t give you a package for this at the least, you know they are not going to serve you, so look elsewhere.

Response Time – Our Water Damage Brisbane-based business commits to a 59 minute response time for water damage emergency. The repair needs to be responded to ASAP. Mould can develop inside a 24 hour period.

If you stick to these tips you are sure to find a Flood Damage Restoration professional who knows what they are doing.
