Depending on the extent of the damage and the scale of the area that we are cleaning, the time it takes to extract any residual water and clean your carpets will vary. But generally, we are able to finish water damage jobs in one to two days – in most residential settings. Note though, this is hands-on time, and the process often requires us to raise the carpet and leave it to dry overnight before returning the next day to complete the task.
Flooding and water damage can bring about a smell in your carpets and rugs, but this smell is typically the result of a growth of bacteria in the fibres of your carpets and floor coverings. Cheap As Chips will sanitise and disinfect your floor coverings, killing this bacteria and eliminating the smell it creates – leading to a clean smelling carpet and underfloor.
Will the carpet shrink due to water damage?
No, carpets do not typically shrink as a result of flooding. Neither will they shrink as a result of any of the treatments and processes we use to clean and disinfect your carpets after flooding.
What is the process for restoring a flood damaged carpet?
Our cleaners will suction away any excess water and lift your carpet away from the floor. They will then spray an anti-bacterial treatment over your floor and the back of your carpet, and remove the underlay. They will then place dryers for one day that will completely dry out your carpets and flooring, and relay your carpets over a fresh underlay. They’ll then finish with a steam clean and sanitise your carpets.
Yes. Let our technicians know ahead of time and we will be able to not only clean and sanitise your carpets, but also clear away any flood damage related waste. This service includes damage relating to sewage overflow – a process that is largely similar to the process laid out above.
Can we book your flood restoration service for sewage overflow cleaning?
Yes, and the process is largely the same as the one laid out above. For any questions about this service, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
If you have insurance cover for flooding and sewage overflow, you absolutely should look into whether or not that policy will cover the cost of our services. Whether that is the case will depend on the policy you have taken out.
