Water Damage Restoration
Our 24/7 water damage restoration service rapidly extracts standing water, dries structures, and prevents mold growth. Using industrial-grade equipment, we restore homes and businesses to pre-loss condition. Our IICRC-certified technicians handle Category 1-3 water damage, including sewage backups and storm-related flooding. Immediate response within one hour minimizes structural harm and protects property value.
Carpet Cleaning
The HOST Dry Extraction System cleans carpets without excess moisture, using biodegradable sponges to absorb soil. This method removes 95% of allergens, leaves no sticky residue, and allows immediate use of cleaned areas. Ideal for high-traffic spaces, it extends carpet lifespan while improving indoor air quality through EPA-registered, Green Seal-certified products.
Mold Remediation
We address mold infestations by identifying moisture sources, containing affected areas, and safely removing contaminated materials. Antimicrobial treatments prevent regrowth, while HEPA filtration captures airborne spores. Our process follows EPA guidelines to eliminate health risks from mold exposure in residential and commercial properties.
Upholstery Cleaning
The Von Schrader Dry Foam Extraction System cleans upholstery without liquid saturation, using non-toxic foam that lifts dirt for immediate removal. This method preserves fabric integrity, prevents color bleeding, and leaves no residue. Leather conditioning services restore suppleness to treated surfaces, extending furniture lifespan.
Area Rug Cleaning
Specialized cleaning methods address wool, silk, and synthetic fibers in area rugs. Our technicians assess construction type (handmade/tufted) and apply appropriate techniques to remove stains without damaging dyes. Spot removal kits and drying protocols prevent mildew while maintaining rug appearance and value.

I am in the process of selling our home and needed to have our attic inspected as a second opinion. I called the Dry Guys today and I have to say I am truly thankful for the kindness and quick action this company took to take a look at our home. Frank was such a pleasure to speak with over the phone and made me feel like a priority when I told him… we were limited on time and when Dillan came to inspect he was absolutely wonderful. He showed me everything in our attic and took the time to explain a lot to me. I couldn’t be happier and will absolutely recommend this company.

I have been in insurance for 39 years. The claim service is the product I sell. The Dry Guys not only do great work, but they communicate well to help you understand what is going on.
