Water Damage Restoration
Our 24/7 emergency response team specializes in complete water damage restoration. Using thermal imaging and moisture meters, we identify hidden saturation areas. Truck-mounted extraction units remove standing water while industrial air movers and dehumidifiers dry structures completely. We follow IICRC S500 standards for category 1-3 water damage, including mold remediation and structural repairs. Clients receive detailed documentation for insurance claims.
Carpet Cleaning
Hot water extraction removes deep-seated dirt and allergens from all carpet types. Our two-pass cleaning system combines pre-spraying with high-pressure rinsing. We offer Scotchgard protection application and pet odor removal using enzymatic treatments. Commercial clients benefit from scheduled maintenance programs that extend carpet lifespan while maintaining appearance standards.
Mold Remediation
We address mold issues through containment, HEPA vacuuming, and antimicrobial treatment. Our process includes moisture source elimination and structural drying. Post-remediation testing confirms clearance while documentation supports insurance coverage. We follow EPA guidelines for spore containment and disposal of contaminated materials.
Commercial Floor Maintenance
Customized programs maintain commercial flooring investments. Services include daily/weekly cleaning, deep extraction, and finish restoration for hard surfaces. Our technicians work after-hours to minimize business disruption while providing consistent service through dedicated account managers.
Pet Stain Removal
Specialized enzymatic treatments break down urine crystals in carpets and padding. We combine deep cleaning with moisture detection to ensure complete contamination removal. For severe cases, we offer padding replacement and subfloor treatment to permanently eliminate odors and prevent recurrence.

The professionalism and top notch cleaning with above and beyond customer service has made Referral Cleaning and Restoration the only carpet cleaning company I will use from now on! The technician, Jacob, was so polite and got our neglected carpets looking brand new. I would definitely recommend them to everyone.

I have several different carpet cleaning companies over the years. I have tried steam, dry chemicals etc. I have never found a carpet cleaning company that cleans better than Referral. My carpets are several years old now they look like new. I will always use & recommend Referral.
