Carpet Cleaning & Water Damage Restoration | Doug Mueller & Company | Janesville, WI

Common signs include a musty odor, visible water pooling in the basement or crawl space, damp drywall or baseboards, and an unusually running sump pump. If you notice any of these, it's important to act quickly to prevent mold growth and structural damage. Doug Mueller & Company provides emergency water extraction and drying services, often arriving within hours to begin restoration.

We first stop the source of the overflow, then extract standing water using industrial pumps and vacuums. After that, we dry the affected area with high-powered air movers and dehumidifiers. Our team also sanitizes surfaces to prevent bacteria or mold. If carpeting or rugs are soaked, we can clean and dry them onsite or recommend professional rug cleaning services.

Yes, but it depends on the extent of contamination. If the backup involves clean water, our hot water extraction cleaning can remove debris and odors. For contaminated water (gray or black water), we follow EPA guidelines: affected carpets and padding may need to be removed and replaced, while salvageable rugs can be professionally cleaned. Doug Mueller & Company assesses each situation to recommend the safest and most effective solution.
