The housing in Pompton Lakes
Decades of DuPont munitions-plant groundwater and vapor contamination affected hundreds of nearby homes. Locally recognized historic homes include the Bartholf Homestead, Ironworker's Cottage, a Queen Anne style home, a Second Empire building, the Schuyler House, and the Van Ness House. What that changes is the fibre and the access — which is why the first question on the phone is about the property rather than about the price.
Water, and what it does to a floor here
Ramapo, Pequannock, and Wanaque rivers converge near Pompton Lake. Recurring flooding, most recently in 2011 (Hurricane Irene). We read moisture in the pad and the subfloor with a meter rather than trusting how the surface feels, and say which case you are in before starting.

The visit
How a visit works in Pompton Lakes
- 01
You tell us what is on the floor
Call, or send a photograph of the worst patch. It is the fastest way to a straight answer about what will lift and what will not — and if something is not coming out, we would rather say so now than at the door.
- 02
We test before we clean
Fabric and rug dyes get tested somewhere nobody looks, and the fiber decides the method. This is the step that prevents the two things people actually fear: shrinkage and color bleeding.
- 03
Extraction, then the parts a machine cannot reach
Heated solution goes into the pile and comes straight back out with the soil. Stairs, edges and corners are worked by hand afterwards, because no machine head sits flat on a stair tread.

Questions
Asked in Pompton Lakes
Do you cover Pompton Lakes?
Yes. A borough of 11,127 is a normal stop rather than a special trip, and we take bookings at any hour of the day for it.
How long before we can walk on the carpet?
About two hours before carpet is walkable, and dry the same day. A fabric sofa takes four to eight hours; leather is quicker. Say when the room has to be back in use and we sequence the job around that rather than hoping.
Does the age of the houses in Pompton Lakes change anything?
It changes the method. Decades of DuPont munitions-plant groundwater and vapor contamination affected hundreds of nearby homes — and a stock of that kind decides whether a floor wants controlled moisture and a dye test or a straightforward hot-water extraction. We identify the fibre before anything gets wet, every time.
Our basement took water. Is the carpet worth saving?
Sometimes, and what decides it is how long it sat and what was in the water rather than how bad it looks. Ramapo, Pequannock, and Wanaque rivers converge near Pompton Lake — so this is a question we get here. We read the pad and subfloor with a meter and say which case you are in before starting.

There was a big difference in the living room rugs. Extraction brought out layers of dirt. Nearly invisible stains remain. Completely happy.

We used Carpet Cleaning Wizards to remove dog urine from a large area carpet. Jacob was timely in arrival, professional and friendly. He was efficient in taking care of the job and very pleasant while doing it. Would recommend this business.
