Carpet Removal and Disposal Done Right
Fast, clean carpet tear-out with responsible haul-away across Chicagoland. CSI leaves your subfloor ready for whatever comes next — no debris, no hassle, no hidden fees.
Professional Carpet Removal and Disposal You Can Trust
When it is time to replace worn, stained, or outdated carpeting, the first critical step is a thorough and professional carpet removal and disposal process. Carpet Services Incorporated (CSI) has served the Chicagoland region since 1979, providing homeowners, property managers, and business owners across Cook, DuPage, Kane, and Will counties with fast, clean, and responsible old carpet tear-out services. Based in Addison, Illinois, our fully in-house certified crews handle every phase of the job — from initial furniture coordination through final debris haul-away — so you never need to juggle multiple contractors.
Removing carpet may seem straightforward, but improperly executed tear-out can damage subfloors, leave behind stubborn adhesive residue, or create indoor air quality issues from trapped dust and allergens. CSI follows a meticulous process that protects your home or commercial space while preparing the subfloor for your next flooring installation. Whether you are a homeowner in Elmhurst upgrading to luxury vinyl or a property manager in Schaumburg managing a multi-unit turnover, our team delivers the same level of precision and professionalism that has defined our reputation for over four decades.
Every carpet removal project includes complete haul-away and disposal, so you are never left with rolled-up carpet sitting in your driveway. We prioritize eco-friendly disposal practices, routing materials to recycling facilities whenever possible. From a single residential room to an entire commercial building, CSI scales to fit your project timeline and budget with transparent, upfront pricing.
Comprehensive Carpet Tear-Out and Disposal Solutions
CSI's carpet removal and disposal service goes beyond simply pulling up old carpet. We address every layer — surface, padding, adhesive, and tack strips — to deliver a subfloor that is truly ready for your new flooring.
Residential Carpet Removal
CSI removes wall-to-wall broadloom carpet from homes of every size — single rooms, full basements, entire houses, and staircases included. Our crews carefully cut, roll, and carry out old carpet without damaging baseboards, doorframes, or adjacent flooring. We also remove all padding and tack strips, leaving your subfloor clean and ready for carpet installation or any other new flooring you choose.
Commercial Carpet and Carpet Tile Removal
Commercial spaces often feature glue-down carpet tiles or broadloom installed with heavy-duty adhesives that require specialized equipment and expertise to remove. CSI has the tools and experience to tackle commercial carpet removal in offices, retail stores, hotels, and healthcare facilities throughout the Chicagoland area. We manage adhesive removal and thorough subfloor cleaning to meet the stringent requirements of commercial flooring installations.
Subfloor Preparation and Debris Disposal
Carpet removal is only half the equation. CSI also performs comprehensive subfloor preparation — pulling staples, scraping adhesive, and addressing minor damage that could compromise your new flooring. All removed carpet, padding, tack strips, and debris are hauled away in a single visit. We handle responsible disposal, routing recyclable materials to appropriate facilities and ensuring your property is left spotless.

What Chicagoland Property Owners Say About CSI Carpet Removal
Honest feedback from real projects — no names, no titles, just the details that matter.
Had three rooms of old berber carpet that needed to go before installing luxury vinyl plank. CSI's crew showed up on time, removed everything including the padding and tack strips, and hauled it all away the same day. Subfloor was clean and ready for the new install.
We manage a 40-unit apartment building and needed old carpet ripped out of 12 units during a renovation cycle. CSI handled the entire project on schedule, coordinated with our maintenance team, and left every unit broom-clean. Their pricing for volume work was very competitive.
The glue-down carpet tiles in our office were a nightmare to imagine removing, but CSI came with the right equipment and got every tile and all the adhesive up in two days. The concrete slab was smooth and ready for new flooring. Highly recommend for commercial jobs.
Our basement had 30-year-old carpet that smelled musty and was pulling away from the tack strips. CSI removed it all, addressed some minor subfloor moisture concerns, and disposed of everything properly. The space already feels dramatically different.
Needed carpet removed from a staircase and two hallways before getting new flooring installed. The crew was careful around the banister and walls — zero damage. They even vacuumed before they left. That level of attention is rare these days.
CSI removed old carpet from four hotel guest rooms during a renovation. They worked around our guest schedule, kept noise to a minimum, and finished ahead of the projected timeline. Disposal was handled completely — no leftover debris on site.
