The team of Joe, Andrew, Pat, and Kevin were wonderful. We had carpets, air ducts, and dryer vent cleaned. They even had the time to add drapery removal from some windows, and cleaning of other drapes. Always explained everything to both my husband and me. Such nice young guys who really did great work. We highly recommend Cahill’s!

Stay away at all costs - they caused 5 figures of damage to my house and ghosted me. We paid cash so have no recourse. The manager Jared is evil, evil, evil. I paid a ton of money for them to come clean my carpets and clean my vents. The techs dumped so much water on the carpets that the entire second floor smelled like dead animals and water ended up leaking into the first floor, causing enough damage that I have to redo my dining room. They also ruined a piece of furniture that was nailed into the wall when they pulled it away to clean the vent behind it. We saw them do it and called them out on it, and the company later refused to pay for the broken furniture. I didn’t see that coming for a company with so many good reviews. Lot of excuses on the water damage - they blamed the water damage on the roof, so I had a roofer come check out the roof who said it wasn’t the roof. They blamed it on the HVAC so I had an HVAC tech come check out the HVAC unit who said it wasn’t the hvac unit. They had a water specialist come who said he couldn’t say with certainty that it was from the carpet cleaning, but it could have been from the carpets. When we spoke to the water damage specialist, he said it likely came from the carpet cleaning. So unprofessional. They have completely ghosted us. I’ve called and texted Jared multiple times asking for him to connect me with the owner, and he ignores me. Complete ghosting. My bad for trusting these scam artists with my house.

Response from the owner · a month ago

We take reviews seriously, and anyone reading this deserves the facts. We did not ghost this customer. After the damage was reported, we responded in writing several times, and at our own expense we hired an independent water-intrusion company that had no prior relationship with us. The customer agreed to that inspection in advance. The inspection used thermal imaging, leak detection, and 118 photographs. It found no water accumulation or abnormal moisture in the carpet, padding, or flooring, and no path of water traveling up from the floor into the wall. The written report concluded that the damage was not consistent with carpet-cleaning water, and it identified moisture and staining in the attic around the HVAC equipment, directly above the damaged area, as the credible source. Those are the report's own written findings, and we provided the customer the full copy. On payment: this service was paid by credit card, not cash. The charge was never disputed. Regarding the furniture, our crews do not move pieces that are secured to the wall, and there were a number of people in and out of the home that weekend. We stand by our work and our team. We have cleaned homes in Bucks and Montgomery County since 1979, and we are IICRC-certified, insured, and bonded. Anyone who would like to discuss our work is welcome to call us at 215-355-5388.
