Water Extraction
Brightway Carpet Cleaning is equipped to handle anything from a small leak to an entire house flooded with water. We will inspect the problem and follow procedures approved by the carpet industry. From tub overflows to rising water, we can advise and perform the necessary emergency procedures to save your carpet and furniture and prevent further structural damage.
Most insurance companies recommend that you have the emergency work done as soon as possible. It may be a while before they can send an adjuster and our methods are within their guidelines. We can notify you and/or your adjuster if the carpet can be saved or not. We also provide carpet, floor, and structural drying equipment (air movers and dehumidifiers). Our skilled technicians can re-install your carpet and pad after it is dry.
