Walk a Kingwood greenbelt trail after a summer storm, then look at the bottom of your shoes. That dark, fine soil from under the trees is most of what we pull out of carpet here. In spring it gets company: the yellow pine pollen that coats every windshield on Kingwood Drive for a few weeks also settles into the nap of the living room rug. The Livable Forest is a nice place to live, and the forest comes inside on sneakers and paws.
Kingwood since the 2017 flood
When Hurricane Harvey pushed the West Fork of the San Jacinto and Lake Houston over their banks in August 2017, thousands of Kingwood homes took water. Elm Grove was among the hardest hit, parts of Kings Forest flooded too, and Kingwood High School stayed closed for the rest of that school year.
Carpet age in Kingwood varies street by street, so the technician doesn't guess. Walkways gray out, stairs get tired, and every so often we find lifted seams or a corner that was never stretched tight. Cleaning won't fix an installation problem. If a re-stretch would do more for a room than we would, the technician will say that out loud.
What we can do is get the ground-in soil out of the traffic lanes and treat old pet spots down at the pad, where odor hangs on long after the stain is gone. That covers most of what people in these neighborhoods call us about.
Every village, one phone number
We work all of Kingwood: Trailwood, the original village that dates to 1971, plus Bear Branch, Kings Forest, Elm Grove, Greentree, Kingwood Lakes, Hunters Ridge, Mills Branch, Forest Cove and Sand Creek. Kingwood Drive and Northpark Drive get the van in from US-59 quickly, and Kingwood Town Center is a fair landmark if you're giving directions. Families zoned for Kingwood High or Kingwood Park High are all on the same route.
Our advice on timing is firm. If you clean your carpet once a year, do it in late spring after the pollen is finished, not in March while it's still falling. Clean it mid-season and you'll be vacuuming yellow out of it again in a week.
How the appointment runs
Show the technician the rooms and the spots that bother you. You get a price before anything starts. After that it's a pre-treatment on the problem areas, then the cleaning pass with our plant-based solution, then extraction. There's no soap to rinse out and very little water going in, so you can usually walk on it within the hour, socks and all. Area rugs get cleaned right there in your house; nothing gets hauled away.
If the water comes back
Standing water from a storm is a restoration job, not a carpet cleaning job. Once a room has been dried out and the wet pad has been dealt with, we're glad to come clean what's left. Call 346-559-0291 when you get to that point. Someone answers at any hour, and the online scheduler works too.
