Water Damage Restoration
Our 24/7 water damage restoration service addresses emergencies within one hour of your call. Using industrial-grade extraction equipment and structural drying techniques, we restore properties to pre-loss condition while preventing mold growth. Technicians document damage, remove standing water, and employ dehumidifiers for complete drying.
Carpet Cleaning
The HOST Dry Extraction System cleans carpets without water saturation, using biodegradable sponges to absorb soil. This method removes 95% of allergens and dries instantly, ideal for homes with children or pets. We include pre-vacuuming, spot treatment, and baseboard cleaning in every service.
Mold Remediation
Certified technicians identify moisture sources and contain affected areas to prevent spore spread. We use HEPA vacuums and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold at its roots. Post-remediation air quality testing ensures complete eradication while maintaining EPA-established safety standards.
Area Rug Cleaning
Specialized cleaning methods address wool, silk, and synthetic fibers without color bleeding. Our process includes pre-treatment for stains, pH-balanced cleaning solutions, and controlled drying to preserve rug integrity. We handle both machine-made and hand-tufted rugs.
Upholstery Cleaning
The Von Schrader Dry Foam System cleans upholstery without moisture damage. This method removes embedded soils while protecting fabric finishes. We test for colorfastness beforehand and apply protective treatments to extend fabric life between professional cleanings.

Report
The lady who came to give me a quote, who supposedly is a dog lover, wouldn't even go in my living room because of my dog. My dog has never bitten anybody, I'm not going to force my dog outside or in another room. Instead I just found a different company, obviously better and will be here Thursday. Oh and doesn't mind my dogs. Don't worry I've already spread the word to all my friends! 2 thumbs down dry guys, you so had my business too!
