Rug Cleaning After Flooding

Rug cleaning after flooding is one of the most common services we provide, mainly during winter but really throughout the whole year.

Naturally, a lot of flooding happens in winter because of the weather, and throughout the rest of the year because of accidents or plumbing issues, toilets, air conditioners, or burst pipes.

If your rug at home or in the office has flooded, don't worry — the situation can still be saved.

We at Zeus Clean have been restoring flooded rugs for almost two decades, for private homes and businesses alike.

We'll do everything we can to restore your rug and bring it back to a dry, clean, fresh-smelling condition.

Can every rug definitely be restored?

No — if it's an especially old rug or one that already had prior wear, there's a chance it can't be refreshed, and replacing it might be a better option.

But we're always here for you — contact us and we'll do our best to save you time and the unnecessary expenses involved in replacing wall-to-wall rugs in particular.

At the end of the job, we'll also produce a detailed invoice for you covering all the restoration and cleaning steps performed on the rug, so you can submit it to your insurance company.

The rug is flooded — what should I do until the professionals arrive?

First, turn off the electricity in the home or office if it's a wall-to-wall rug.

Ventilate the room the rugs are in as much as possible.

Try to blot up some of the water with towels to keep the leak from spreading into other rooms.

A wet/dry vacuum will help a lot!

The most important thing is to book a professional as soon as possible, before mold stains and musty smells start to appear.

A rug that isn't treated in time will be much harder and more expensive to restore, and it will also build up a lot of bacteria and contaminants that are dangerous to the respiratory health of everyone in the household.

How much does rug cleaning after flooding cost?

The answer varies case by case, and the final price depends on the type of rug, the size of the rug, and of course the extent of the damage caused by the flooding.

The price also varies between area rugs and wall-to-wall rugs. To get an exact figure rather than a rough estimate, you can contact us today and send us a photo or video of the rugs via WhatsApp.

Once we understand and see exactly what we're dealing with, we can give you a price estimate, followed by a final quote after one of us visits your home or office.

After we arrive and understand what caused the damage and how much liquid the rugs absorbed, we'll give you a no-obligation quote!

What are the stages of rug cleaning after flooding?

First, we perform a thorough extraction several times over to remove as much dirty water from the rug as possible.

Next, we carry out a deep clean using professional cleaning solutions.

After the initial cleaning, we perform an additional wash using steam and special solutions that neutralize odors and break down bacteria.

Finally, we perform one more thorough extraction to ensure faster drying, and if needed, we also run industrial dryers.
