What Can We Help You With?

"*" indicates required fields

Disasters are a pain. A burst pipe at 2 am, a surprise storm that floods the basement. That weird mold growing in the corner. They all have a knack for showing up at the worst possible times. That’s where GearClean comes in.

We’re a local company based in Winchester, Virginia, and we’ve been the disaster cleanup crew our neighbors can count on for close to two decades.

Why Choose Us

We get it. You don’t want someone showing up days later with a clipboard and a grumpy attitude. You need someone who understands the urgency of the situation and gets to work fast. That’s us. We’re available when it matters, not just when it’s convenient – because damage waits for no one.

Some of What We Tackle

Flooding and Storms

Whether as a result of mother nature or a problem with a leaking pipe, we’ll suck out the floodwater from your residence, dry everything down to the studs (without damaging them), and make sure there’s no hidden mildew creeping behind the walls.

Fire and Smoke Damage

We’ll get rid of the soot and that awful campfire smell so your place feels fresh again. Say goodbye to lingering odors.

Item Restoration

We can clean and restore your belongings – clothes, furniture, collectible – so you don’t have to throw them away for good.

What Sets Us Apart

We Care Deeply: This is a stressful time, no doubt. Possibly the most difficult you’ve gone through in a while. We get that, and always make sure to treat you with the dignity you deserve.
We Use the Very Best: We get the job done better than old-school methods. Think dry ice cleaning and vacuum freeze drying that leaves nothing to chance.
We Make Every Second Count: Time is ticking. We offer around-the-clock emergency services so we can arrive at your doorstep when it makes the biggest impact.
