If every drain in the house starts acting up at once, put the plunger down. That's not one clogged sink. That's the system.

One slow drain is a clog. Slow drains everywhere, gurgling in the tub when the toilet flushes, a sewer smell inside, or a soggy, extra green patch over the drain field all point to a septic system that's backing up.

Keep running water, and it comes up through the lowest drain in the house, usually the shower or tub. And it isn't just water at that point.

Cut back on water use and call a septic company to pump and inspect. If it already came up inside, call us.

Picture a bedroom you climb into with work boots on, every single day. That's life in a semi truck sleeper, and this Largo driver's carpeted step was showing it: gray, matted, and packed with lint.

Hear what it was like when our crew at Chris' Carpet Service & Water Restoration cleaned a semi for the very first time. We ran hoses from our van-mounted extractor into the cab, reached the tight corners with a handheld tool, and finished by cleaning and conditioning all the leather.

Have a truck cab, RV, or boat that needs some love?

We clean carpet and upholstery in tight spaces, too. ➡️ Call (727) 888-5111 for a free estimate.

The worst place in a home for a leak is any bathroom with a room underneath it.

A downstairs leak spreads across the floor. An upstairs leak goes down. It soaks the subfloor, fills the ceiling below, follows pipes and wiring into the walls, and shows up two rooms over from where it started.

Around Clearwater and Belleair, a lot of the calls we get are condos, so "upstairs" is usually somebody else's bathroom. Two units, two owners, two insurance policies, one soggy ceiling in the middle.

Our team at Chris' Carpet Service & Water Restoration dries both floors, not just the one with the stain.

Grab a flashlight and get down on the kitchen floor for a second.

That strip along the bottom of your cabinets is the toe kick, and it's hollow. When a sink or dishwasher leaks, water slides back there and sits where nobody looks. Months later you get puffy cabinet bottoms, a musty smell, or flooring lifting at the seams.

Press on the bottom edge. Soft or swollen means it's time for a closer look.

A little preparation can help keep rainwater outside, where it belongs. 💧

Pinellas County neighbors: clear debris from accessible drains, check gutters and downspouts, and bring loose outdoor items inside before wet weather arrives. Only tackle outdoor prep when conditions are safe.

If water does find its way into your home or business from the possible storms this weekend, our flood damage restoration team at Chris’ Carpet Service & Water Restoration is here to help: https://www.chriscarpetservice.com/flood-damage-restoration

Stay safe, and follow local weather updates.

Nearly five decades of carpet cleaning, and this job was a first for our crew at Chris' Carpet Service & Water Restoration: a semi truck in Largo.

A sleeper is an office and a bedroom in one, and nobody takes their boots off at the door. The carpeted step had gone dull and gray, with dark spots, matted pile, and lint packed deep in the fibers.

We parked alongside, ran hoses up into the cab, and worked every corner with a handheld tool. Then we cleaned and conditioned the leather, from the quilted walls to the tufted ceiling.
