one truckers, what level of water damage services do you offer?

[Mikey P]

Curious minds want to know?

A few fans and no formal education?

A Dehu or three, some fans and a class or two?

Lots of equipment, all the knowledge, insured and extra help if needed?


Never. No Way. Nada.?

 

[BIG WOOD]

I've got about 6 Fans, and one old Dehu. I advertise it, but rarely see it anymore. I tried chasing it several years ago, and got a few good jobs, but the rewards didn't add up. So I'll get one about every 6months now

 

[Trip Moses]

I’ll do 2-4 a year. A/C leaks, leaky pipe in kitchen or laundry room, stuck toilet. Usually only affects one room, no more than a day or two old. If it’s more than that I’ll punt it to my office neighbor, Puroclean.
I’ll suck it out and staple a fan under the carpet and float for 24. Come back and clean it then kick it back in.
My entire edjumakashun came from the internets.

 

[Mark Saiger]

I used to do A LOT... And smoke - fire cleanup.

Sold it all off few years ago....

Way happier life style now.

It took a while to replace that income with carpet cleaning income, but by getting rid of it motivated me to do so!

 

[Jim Williams]

I'll suck up an occasional water leak, maybe even break out the water claw. I've got a couple of air movers somewhere in the garage.

 

[Hack Attack]

2 revolution dehus
1 phnx r200
12 air movers

[Cleanworks]

I used to do a lot. Have all the certification and started when Lloyd dehumidifiers were all the rage. Now I only do small jobs for private customers and certain PM's. No insurance work. No sewage. I am down to 2 dehus and about 8 dryers. Average WD job is $500 to $1500.

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

Don’t touch them.... I refer them to the resto companies I do work for.
In exchange, they give me ALL their carpet, uph, and area rugs.....
Sweet deal for me, AND NEVER HAVE TO GET OUT OF BED AT 2 AM, to go suck water or shit out of someone’s basement....

 

[Doug Cox]

None

 

[DAT]

After watching that appleby video, i aint gonna start. I rather just clean.

 

[Bob Savage]

Certs through IICRC, occasional small w/d - 10 dryers, 3dh's.

 

[Nomad74]

I make it very clear that I am there to dry out the carpet only. I do not do structure. Ca is very regulated and not like the rest of the country. Even at just drying the carpet I feel i'm taking a chance. I'm still planning on going to the Washington Dri-eze academy. I just need to do it at the right time. I don't want to stretch myself too thin.

What value do your clients receive if you dry their carpet but leave the floor, carpet pad, walls, wall frames, etc, etc wet?

 

[Chris A]

None, but do extract every once in a while for a few big boy restoration companies in our area

 

[Pioneer Floorcare]

After our earthquake I am giving it a go
4xl drymax
6 drymax
7 desiccants
100 fans
12 axials
1 500k btu heater
1 200k btu heater
2 tes units
2 injectidry units
8 driforce units
4 air scrubbers
2 boss xl3 hydroxyls
... there is more in the trailer but I am tired of typing

 

[Jim Morrison]

We have a couple of big dehus, 3 - 1200's, around 20 airmovers, couple of air scrubbers. I took WD and AMRT, have meters and hygrometer, no thermal.
I'm a bit of a cherry picker, prefer fresh water losses and occasionally rent out the gear only if I have time.
We have a good working relationship with the local restoration guys, we refer them work and they hire us for cleanings they cant do.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Do it as an accommodation for my large jani accounts. My largest customer have their own equipment that I have at my disposal. Should I need more I rent it. They’re not self insured, but close I always pray I don’t need to accommodate.
