Step 5: Cleaning and Sanitizing

Cleaning Your Belongings After Water Damage

The items in a home have sentimental and emotional value, and that’s why it’s our goal to restore over replacing items.  

We’re able to sanitize over 90% of our clients’ items affected by water damage.  SERVPRO of Amarillo invests in the best technology to increase our salvage rate.  

  • Esporta Wash System Operator - we use the industry’s most advanced textile sanitization machine to clean all kinds of textiles, including leather and sports equipment. SERVPRO of Amarillo is one of a few Esporta Certified Operators in the Texas Panhandle. 
  • Ultrasonic Operator - we give contents a detergent-laden bath where billions of bubbles produced by high-frequency vibrations help remove contaminants, even in small crevices.  
  • IICRC Certified Technicians - our technicians understand the science behind restoration and use their skills to help clients every day.

Amarillo Carpet Restoration

Carpet is a major investment, and restoring it depends on the water category.  Carpets affected by clean (Cat 1) water have a high salvage rate.  When carpets are affected by dirty or grossly contaminated water, the carpet will need to be replaced.  If this is the case, we’ll save a small sample so it can be replaced with a new carpet of similar quality, style, and color.
