Don’t let an inexperienced 24 hour carpet cleaner try to repair your carpets damaged by water. These are the things you have to be watchful of:

Overcharging. An amateur water restoration restorer may pack the job up with superfluous inclusions. E.g. using dehumidification on the water damaged carpets is not needed.

Having the correct equipment. They might hire equipment from hire places for the carpet. This is all right, but a professional water damage restorer will own all their equipment to enable a speedy response and hopefully a better value job.

Proper moisture metre. If they don’t have the right moisture meter, they can’t see when the carpet is dry. This increases the potential of mould in future. Removal of the mould would then be required in the future.

They are not Specialised. There are a whole lot of “Carpet Cleaners” in this industry who do water damage work on the “side.” i.e. they do not do this type of task everyday. Be careful of them. Restoring carpets is an art. Removing and repairing and reinstalling the carpet needs to be taken on by a professional, otherwise carpets can be damaged irrepairably.

You could be wondering, how do I locate a proper Flood Restoration Business? Below I have listed some signifiers to check for when you hunt around for a carpet flood damage business:

How big is their Yellow Pages ad: This can indicate how much repair work they have already. A full-size Yellow Pages advertisement can cost about $50 000. If they have got a large ad, you can at least have 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 are for their business.

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

Do Insurance companies hire them for their carpet water damage jobs? This is a great indicator. If insurance companies use them, the business is likely to be efficient at their skill. Insurance companies will use the providers that give them the best value for their money.

How much Equipment do they have? They should own at minimum 100 Air movers. If they have this many, this indicates they have been up and running for some time. We took 8 years to acquire that many wet carpet drying air movers.

What sort of commitment can you get out of them through a phone call? Ask if you can pin them down to a set rate for water extraction, water removal and initial inspection. If they won’t give you a fee for this in the least, you know they are not willing to serve you, so keep looking.

Response Time – Our Water Damage Brisbane business is committed to a 59 minute response time for water damage emergency. The job needs to be responded to ASAP. Mould can grow in a 24 hour period.
