Catamount Carpet Cleaning

Catamount Carpet Cleaning has been in business since 1987 in southern Vermont. It is owner operated by Don Jones, who runs the business and manages the personnel and Jane May Jones runs the office, scheduling and customer care. We use a service van with a truck mounted steam cleaning system. Our technicians excel in client service (our clients tell us so!) and they are licensed and/or certified in the many services we provide. Don is trained and/or certified in carpet cleaning, rug cleaning, water damage restoration, smoke damage restoration and mold remediation through the IICRC.

We have certified mold remediation technicians (in Vermont, as well as the remainder of the US) that have many hours of actual job experience who can help you with your mold removal process. We have the knowledge and equipment to eliminate your mold problems. In addition to eradicating the mold we are a full service small construction company. We can restore your home to "like new" condition. WE HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO DO THE JOB RIGHT! Below are some video clips that will help you understand mold and how it affects us and what to do if we find it in our homes.

Do you have water seeping in your basement? Is your home flooded because of broken pipes? The worst mistake a homeowner can make if he has water damaged carpeting is to try and dry it himself/herself or leave it to air dry. Mildew causes the carpet backing to disintegrate, sheetrock to dissolve and crumble, plus totally offensive odors are created if the problem is not corrected. We, at Catamount Response, a division of Catamount Carpet Cleaning, in the event of water damage, take care of your problem from A to Z.

Every home has dust mites. You can't see them but they are there. They feed on our skin flakes, of which we shed about two pounds each year. We spend about a third of our lives in bed so most dust mites are in our pillows, bedding and bed- room carpets. You can control them by keeping bedding clean. Dust mites are a trigger for people with allergies and asthma. Use special mite-proof covers to keep dust mites from getting into pillows. They are sometimes called "allergen impermeable". If you don't use covers, wash pillows at least 4 times a year and replace them every year.

Many homes have inadequate ventilation in the attic space which leads to condensation and ultimately black microbial growth on the joists and sheathing, also soffit vents may be blocked or non-existent. We have even seen dryer vents or bathroom vents, vented directly into the attic creating heat and humidity - the perfect environment for mold growth! The mold must be remediated before selling. We at Catamount Response can correct this problem so it looks like nothing ever happened. We have many clients who have used our services and have been able to sell their homes with a clean bill of health.

MISTAKE #1: Choosing a carpet cleaner based on equipment alone. No question, your carpet cleaner needs first rate equipment. But he/she also needs something else: employees who are skilled at operating that equipment. Many companies own hot-water extractors, but very few companies teach their employees how to use them properly. The best way to know that the carpet cleaner's employees have been properly trained is to make sure the cleaner has been certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).

Catamount Carpet Cleaning specializes in smoke damage restoration, Vermont and North Western Massachusetts.

A little known fact is that the soot will start to pit and corrode metal objects, appliances, fabrics, painted surfaces., etc. within 24-48 hours.

Furniture, drapes and fabric manufacturers recommend that consumers not wait until severe soiling occurs before cleaning because the greater the soiling, the less the likelihood of restoring the fabric's original color, appearance and texture, and the greater adverse effect on indoor environmental air quality. Regular cleaning of fabric and leather furnishings by a trained, certified technician can help restore the appearance of your furniture and drapes, extend their life and keep them looking like new.

Tile and grout by its very construction is porous leaving lots of nooks and crannies for oils, sugars other staining materials and just plain soil to find a home. You are bound to see a tremendous difference. Secondly and probably more important from a liability standpoint is that heavily soiled tile can become quite slippery in the presence of even small amounts of water. We agitate the grout lines and tiles with specially designed brushes and machines then we blast away the soil by using a "power washer in a box" connected to our 1000 psi truck mounted units.
