Clean and fluffy carpets brighten up a room and dramatically improve the décor. Regular spot cleaning, frequent vacuuming, carpet shampooing and an annual steam cleaning can help keep your new carpets looking good for longer. But older carpets tend to show signs of damage, even with the best care and maintenance. The good news is that most carpet damage is reversible and replacement is not necessary, except in the worst cases. By employing professional cleaning technicians, carpet restoration services can extend life and quality of your carpets.
Carpet Damage
Normal wear and tear along with occasional accidents can cause open or unravelled seams, missing tufts, pulled yarn, discolouration or bleached spots, ripples and buckles or damage to the backing on your carpet.
Even small issues can cause carpet deterioration which in turn leads to a need for early carpet replacement. But when carpet restoration is done in time, these unsightly problems can be eliminated and you can have great results, with almost the same colour and beauty. Keep in mind that old damaged carpet can never be restored to it’s new condition. Using professional equipment and expertise we can remove dirt and stains and give you time to consider your options.
Flood Damage
Though natural flooding is rare in South Australia, house flooding can occur due to leaky roofs, burst pipes or overflowing drains. If any flooding occurs, calling professionals should be the first thing you do after turning off the main water supply or taking care of the leak. If water remains in the carpet for a long time, it will be soaked into the floors, walls, wooden cabinets etc. This can cause growth of mould and mildew which will need more expensive removal processes. However, the quicker you act, the easier it is to remove the excess water and clean and restore the carpet.
Use Certified Technicians
When it comes to carpet cleaning and restoration, there are a large number of options to choose from. Carpet restoration is a laborious task requiring specific skills, and results depend on the extent of the damage.
Ensure that you are getting the best service by choosing IICRC-certified professionals, who are formally trained, undergo continuing education, maintain liability insurance and follow IICRC standards and ethics. You can have confidence then of getting the best quality service and value for your money. You can also ask for suggestions on simple ways to keep your carpet presentable and clean.
