Water Damage Restoration
The Dry Guys provide rapid water damage restoration using advanced extraction and drying equipment. Our IICRC-certified technicians respond within one hour, mitigating damage from burst pipes, floods, or leaks. We document the process, remove standing water, apply antimicrobial treatments, and restore structures to pre-loss condition while coordinating with insurance providers.
Carpet Cleaning
Our HOST Dry Extraction System cleans carpets without water saturation, using biodegradable sponges to absorb soil. This method removes 95% of allergens, leaves no sticky residue, and allows immediate use. Certified technicians pre-vacuum, spot-treat, and groom fibers while vacuuming baseboards for comprehensive results.
Mold Remediation
We address mold growth through containment, HEPA vacuuming, and antimicrobial application. Our certified team identifies moisture sources, removes contaminated materials, and restores affected areas. Services include air quality testing and prevention strategies to ensure long-term safety and compliance with EPA guidelines.
Area Rug Cleaning
Specialized cleaning for wool, silk, and synthetic rugs using pH-balanced solutions. We assess fiber type and construction to select appropriate methods, removing stains without dye bleeding. The process includes spot treatment, controlled moisture application, and 24-hour drying to preserve rug integrity.
Upholstery Cleaning
The Von Schrader Dry Foam System cleans upholstery without liquid saturation. This method separates soil from fabric fibers, which are immediately extracted. Safe for S-coded and W-coded fabrics, it removes allergens, eliminates odors, and applies protectants to resist future stains while maintaining material integrity.
