Chris' Carpet Service & Water Restoration

What Chris' Carpet Service & Water Restoration does

Chris' Carpet Service & Water Restoration is a privately held, family-owned service business founded in 1978 and headquartered at 11876 94th St. N., Largo, Florida. The company provides residential and commercial cleaning and restoration services across Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties in the Tampa Bay area, with its operating model centered on a 24/7 emergency phone line and a 30-90 minute response commitment. Core service pillars are water damage restoration (including extraction, structural drying, moisture detection, and mold remediation) and carpet cleaning (via hot water extraction and encapsulation methods), with adjacent offerings in fire damage, flood damage, sewage backup, tile and grout, upholstery, rug, mattress, and odor-removal cleaning.

The technical stack is built around IICRC-certified protocols (S500 for water damage restoration; Master and Journeymen technician certifications), industrial drying and extraction equipment, thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters for non-destructive moisture mapping, HEPA air scrubbers and containment for post-disaster cleanup, and Xactimate software for insurance-grade documentation. Commercial clients are served with both hot water extraction and a lower-cost encapsulation method suited to high-traffic environments. Customer engagement is direct-to-consumer, supported by free estimates, online quote requests, and a formal referral program.

The business earns revenue through quote-based, per-job professional services pricing across two streams: emergency restoration projects (largely insurance-funded, with the company providing end-to-end claims support) and recurring or one-time cleaning jobs. There are no franchise, reseller, or subscription models. The company claims 100+ years of combined staff experience, a 4.9-star Google rating from 333 reviews, BBB accreditation, and active operations across 20+ Tampa Bay submarkets, but does not disclose headcount, revenue, ownership structure details, or capital backing.
