About ServiceMaster by Althouse Cleaning
Greg Althouse began the company in 1987 as a one person carpet and upholstery cleaning
company for El Paso. Today, water extraction and fire damage restoration requires much of the company's time and
effort. The company changed its name to ServiceMaster by Althouse Cleaning in April of 2010.
ServiceMaster by Althouse Cleaning is dedicated to the finest customer service and continued
professional improvement. To this end, nearly every employee has attended IICRC training
or is scheduled to do so. Most of them already have multiple IICRC certifications.
Greg Althouse is active in the community and serves in various capacities at
Harvest Christian Center. He served as a weather analyst aboard a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. Greg earned his
Bachelor of Business Management degree at Parks College, Fort Bliss campus.
Greg is an IICRC certified Senior Practicing Flooring Inspector and is also
certified by the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA). His inspections take him as far as Albuquerque with
clients ranging from local carpet shops to Shaw Industries, the world's largest carpet manufacturer. He has
earned 12 different certifications from the IICRC, several at the Master or Journeyman level.
ServiceMaster by Althouse Cleaning constantly seeks better techniques
and equipment to provide the best possible results for their clients.
ServiceMaster by Althouse Cleaning trucks carry industrial cleaning machines (hot water
extraction) to clean carpet, tile and grout, upholstery, and air ducts. These machines provide high power
suction perfect for extracting water in a flooded home or business. Pressure washer guns connected to the truck
mounted machines are used to strip soot from masonry and oil from driveways.
ServiceMaster by Althouse has extensive drying equipment to dry your carpet,
hardwood
floors, inside your walls and under your cabinets. Motorized and hand held
“top down drying” equipment extracts water from carpets without removing pad. Traditional carpet and pad removal is
available when required.
ServiceMaster by Althouse Cleaning specializes in removing pet odors from carpet for so long
that it's on of their logo.
ServiceMaster by Althouse Cleaning facilities include areas to clean, ozone (neutralize
smoke odor) and store contents after fires. Computerized inventory with photos (AKA "Pack Out Inventory" or POI
software) allows easy retrieval and reduces the insurance company’s liability. In the field, smoke & fire
technicians remove toxin-laden soot from buildings using IICRC approved techniques, equipment and cleaning
solutions.
ServiceMaster by Althouse Cleaning Inc. and many of its individual technicians are
certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification(IICRC), a non-profit
certification and standards organization. After extensive initial training, technicians must attend continuing
education courses to retain their IICRC certifications. Our technicians undergo additional weekly technical
training, and special skills such as communicating with stressed clients in an empathetic and professional
manner.
