Services
Carpet Inspections
Our certified technicians perform comprehensive carpet inspections to identify manufacturing defects, installation flaws, and wear patterns. Using specialized tools and IICRC standards, we assess fiber integrity, seam quality, and moisture content. Clients receive detailed documentation with photographic evidence and actionable recommendations for repairs or warranty claims.
Moisture Testing
We conduct scientific moisture testing using state-of-the-art equipment to detect hidden water damage in flooring systems. Our inspectors measure relative humidity, moisture vapor emissions, and substrate conditions according to ASTM standards. This critical assessment prevents future flooring failures by identifying environmental factors affecting material performance.
Color Correction
Our IICRC-certified color repair technicians specialize in restoring uniform appearance to damaged carpets. Using advanced spot dyeing and color blending techniques, we address fading, stains, and dye lot mismatches. The process preserves carpet aesthetics while maintaining material integrity through non-invasive application methods.
Hardwood Inspections
Certified inspectors evaluate hardwood flooring for installation defects, moisture damage, and finish quality. We examine subfloor conditions, expansion gaps, and environmental factors affecting wood performance. Our reports include photographic documentation and specific recommendations for corrective actions or maintenance protocols.
Vinyl Inspections
We assess vinyl flooring systems for manufacturing defects, adhesive failures, and environmental stress indicators. Our technicians use specialized tools to measure dimensional stability and check for plasticizer migration. Clients receive detailed analysis of installation compliance with industry standards and manufacturer specifications.
