Services
Carpet Cleaning
Our professional carpet cleaning service utilizes hot water extraction and eco-friendly solutions to remove deep-seated dirt, allergens, and stains. Certified technicians assess fiber types and traffic patterns to customize cleaning approaches. The process includes pre-inspection, spot treatment, steam cleaning at 200F, and optional stain protection application. This comprehensive approach extends carpet lifespan while improving indoor air quality for residential and commercial spaces.
Mold Remediation
We provide complete mold remediation services following EPA guidelines, including containment setup, HEPA vacuuming, and antimicrobial treatment. Our process addresses moisture sources using thermal imaging cameras and includes post-remediation verification. Certified technicians handle all mold types, including Stachybotrys, with proper PPE and air scrubbers to prevent cross-contamination during removal from affected building materials.
Upholstery Cleaning
This service combines pre-treatment with hot water extraction to clean delicate fabrics while preserving color integrity. Technicians use pH-balanced solutions suitable for various materials including microfiber and leather. The process removes pet dander, food stains, and body oils through multi-stage cleaning, followed by optional protective coating application to resist future soiling on sofas, chairs, and other upholstered furniture.
Air Duct Cleaning
Our NADCA-compliant duct cleaning removes contaminants from HVAC systems using specialized rotating brushes and industrial vacuums. The process includes cleaning supply and return vents, furnace components, and accessible ductwork sections. We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments to inhibit microbial growth and improve system efficiency while reducing airborne allergens in residential and commercial environments.
Water Damage Restoration
This emergency service combines water extraction with structural drying using industrial air movers and dehumidifiers. Certified technicians follow IICRC standards for category water classification and perform moisture mapping with thermal imaging. The process includes content cleaning, antimicrobial application, and mold prevention measures to restore properties after plumbing failures, storms, or sewage backups.
Questions
How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?
The IICRC recommends professional cleaning every 12-18 months for average households. High-traffic areas or homes with pets may require more frequent maintenance to maintain fiber integrity and indoor air quality.
Are your cleaning solutions safe for children and pets?
All our cleaning agents are biodegradable, non-toxic, and free from harsh chemicals. We use low-VOC formulations that meet EPA Safer Choice standards, allowing safe reoccupation within hours of service completion.
What preparation is needed before carpet cleaning?
Remove small objects from floors, vacuum beforehand, and move lightweight furniture. For optimal results, ensure pets are secured away from work areas and communicate any specific stain concerns to technicians.
How long does upholstery drying take after cleaning?
Drying time varies by fabric type and room conditions, typically requiring 4-6 hours. Our technicians use air movers to accelerate the process and provide specific aftercare instructions for different upholstery materials.
Do you offer mold testing services?
Yes, we provide comprehensive mold assessment using air sampling and surface testing. Our certified partners use thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture sources and provide detailed lab analysis with remediation recommendations.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit cards, cash, and company checks for completed services. Payment arrangements must be finalized before starting work, with estimates provided during initial consultations.
