What should I do first if I have water damage in my home or business?
First, ensure your safety and turn off the main water supply if the leak is active. Avoid walking through standing water, as it may contain contaminants. Then, contact Clean USA Water & Fire immediately to begin the restoration process.
How quickly can Clean USA respond to my water damage emergency?
We understand that time is crucial in water damage situations. Our team is available 24/7 for emergencies and strives to respond within 1 hour to assess the damage and begin the restoration process.
How long does the water damage restoration process take?
The timeline depends on the extent and severity of the water damage. Typically, minor water damage can take a few days to dry, while extensive damage may require several weeks to fully restore. Our team will provide an estimated timeline after the initial assessment.
Will my property be restored to its original condition?
Our goal is to restore your property as close to its original condition as possible. We use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to remove water, dry, clean, and restore damaged areas.
What categories of water damage do you handle?
We handle all three categories of water damage:
Category 1: Clean water from sources like broken pipes or leaky faucets.
Category 2: Grey water, which may have contaminants from appliances, washing machines, etc.
Category 3: Black water, containing sewage or harmful bacteria, requiring specialized handling.
Will my insurance cover the water damage restoration?
Many insurance policies cover water damage, but coverage can vary. We can work directly with your insurance company to ensure a smooth claims process. Contact your provider to confirm your specific coverage details.
How much will the restoration process cost?
Costs depend on the extent of the damage, the required restoration work, and other factors. After our assessment, we provide a detailed estimate and work closely with your insurance to align on coverage.
Do I need to move out during the restoration process?
For severe water damage, relocation may be necessary to ensure your safety and comfort. We’ll advise you based on the assessment, and we aim to minimize any disruption to your daily life.
Can I clean up the water myself?
For minor spills, you can use towels or a wet-dry vacuum to remove water. However, for significant water damage, it’s essential to call professionals like Clean USA Water & Fire, as improper cleanup can lead to mold growth and further damage.
Will my home be at risk for mold growth after water damage?
Mold can begin to grow within 24-48 hours in moist environments. Our team takes preventative steps to dry and dehumidify the affected areas, reducing the risk of mold.

Can I add additional cleaning services like area/oriental rugs, furniture, or tile & grout cleaning once the technician arrives?
Yes. Ask your technician about discounts on additional services while in your home. In most cases, additional services, such as oriental rug cleaning, upholstery cleaning services, and others, can be performed the same day.
How long will my carpet take to dry?
This depends on the cleaning system used, humidity, and temperature of the home, the density of the fiber and how soiled the carpet is. To speed drying: use fans, open windows (rooms cleaned) 1-3 inches, turn on heater (70-72 degrees), and warmer days leave air conditioner on. Clean USA offers hot water extraction with quick dry times. Your carpeting should be dry in 12 hours or less, which is superior to what many other carpet cleaning companies can offer.
Can I walk on the carpet after cleaning?
Yes, we recommend using a clean pair of socks or house shoes. Remember to use extreme caution when walking from damp carpet to any hard surface. Hard surface floors will be slippery.
What is the “Always Clean” Program?
You get every other carpet cleaning for FREE. We ask you to do two things. 1) Clean and protect a minimum of 500 sq.ft. 2) Clean and protect the same areas in six months or sooner. That’s it. Ask your technician for more details.
Do you move furniture as a part of the carpet cleaning service?
Yes, but please remove all small items of furniture, lamps, and any other valuable items away from the area(s) to be cleaned and please remove the drawers or heavy contents from and on top of dressers or night stands to be moved during cleaning prior to our arrival. We DO NOT move breakables; such as, electronics, hutches, pianos, desks or anything that may cause us to accidentally break something if moved.
What do you mean “Spot and Spill Insurance”?
If you spill something, and are unable to remove it with the FREE Clean USA Spot Out we leave for you, we will return and clean it up at no charge. The carpets have to be treated with Premium Carpet Protectant in order for this warranty to be in effect. Additionally, if the accident is from your pet, odor treatment will NOT be covered.
Do you clean furniture?
Yes. We are professional upholstery cleaners. Ask your technician about special discounts if you add a sofa, love-seat, ottoman, or two chairs at time of cleaning. We are the top upholstery cleaners in Sycamore and beyond.
Can you remove pet odor and stains?
In some cases the stain may be permanent, but we can take care of the odor. This will be an additional charge.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning process?
No. You are welcomed to leave after the paper work has been signed and we are paid. Our carpet cleaning technicians are uniformed, have passed background checks, are bonded and insured and are employees of Clean USA. We do insist that there be someone 18 years or older to let us in.
How long does the carpet cleaning process take?
Our average appointment lasts 2 hours but can vary slightly depending upon the amount of soil, how much furniture needs to be moved, specialty spotting procedures, and setup time. Ask your technician for more information.
Do you pre-spot?
All pre-spotting, pre-spraying, pre-conditioning of all traffic areas and spots is included with the price of your cleaning.
What do I do if I need to reschedule my cleaning appointment?
Please give us 24 hours notice. A $75.00 cancellation fee applies if 24 hours notice is not given. You can schedule an appointment as far in advance as you would like.
