Sanitech Cleaning & Restoration | Carpet & Damage Restoration in Alexandria, VA

Alexandria’s fluctuating winter temperatures can cause water in exterior walls to freeze and expand, then thaw and leak. This often leads to bubbling, cracking, or staining in drywall. Our team identifies the source, extracts standing water, dries the affected area thoroughly, and repairs or replaces damaged drywall. We ensure the wall cavity is completely dry before finishing to prevent mold or rot.

Look for cupping, buckling, or dark spots between planks, often starting near exterior walls or windows. Ice dams on your roof can send meltwater down interior walls and onto hardwood floors. If you notice any of these signs, call us immediately. Quick water extraction and controlled drying can often save your floors from needing full replacement.

Yes, we can clean and restore many carpets after water damage, depending on the water source and contact time. We use hot water extraction and antimicrobial treatments to remove contaminants and odors. If the carpet pad is saturated, we may replace only the pad. Our goal is to salvage your flooring whenever possible, but we’ll always give you an honest assessment.
