About Althouse Restore
38 years of certified restoration expertise, ready 24/7 for your emergencies.
Our Humble Beginnings
Greg Althouse began the company in 1988 as a one-person carpet and upholstery cleaning company for El Paso. Today, water extraction and fire damage restoration require much of the company's time and effort.
Commitment to Excellence
Althouse Restore 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.

Pushing the Limits of Restoration Excellence
Althouse Restore constantly seeks better techniques and equipment to provide the best possible results for its clients.
Industrial-Strength Machines for Faster Restoration
Althouse Restore trucks carry industrial machines that provide high-power suction. 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. Althouse Restore 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 the pad. Traditional carpet and pad removal is available when required.
Specialized Services
Althouse Restore 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.
