Why Engage a Professional? Who to call for water damage restoration? Flooding in Australia can be catastrophic, and unfortunately, ours is a country where natural disasters including bush fires and flooding occur frequently, causing millions of dollars in water damage to properties, devastating homes and businesses. Simple accidents such as an overflowing sink, leaking dishwasher, or dripping air-conditioners can also have serious implications if not handled correctly. When water damage tragedies occur, professional water damage restoration technicians should be called in as soon as possible to properly restore your property. The ramifications of a DIY water damage restoration can be significant and long-lasting: Flooded structures can take weeks to dry out without restoration, Standing water can compromise the safety of occupants inside a structure and become a serious health issue if left unresolved, The foundations of a building can be damaged by rotting and deterioration as a result of water remaining within a structure, Corrosion resulting from water penetration can damage electrical equipment, including wiring and endangering people, The surfaces of a building may be lined with asbestos and other dangerous contaminants left by floodwaters causing a major safety hazard, Paper products can deteriorate quickly and may be prone to growing mould. Simply drying visible moisture is never the full solution. Our trained personnel use only the best and most advanced professional extraction and drying tools to ensure that all moisture left from flooding is eliminated from the space. We can clean and restore your carpets, floors, sub-floors, underlays, walls, skirting boards, contents and ceilings. Only when no moisture is left behind can mould growth and its associated odours be prevented. FAQs Will you be able to completely dry my property? Our technicians will take moisture readings before, during and after the job to check how our drying is progressing. We will not complete a job until the moisture content is at a level deemed acceptable by IICRC standards. Will your equipment be noisy? Yes. Whilst our equipment is some of the quietest available on the market it is still quite noisy and intrusive. Despite the interruptions to your daily activities, we highly recommend allowing our equipment to run their course and, thus complete the job sooner. How much will it cost? Pricing is variable based on a number of factors – time of the day, size of the effected area, severity of water ingress and the water class type. For more information on your unique circumstances, call our offices on 1800 00 1010. When are you available? Our typical business hours are Monday to Friday, 7:30 am - 5 pm, however we offer a 24/7 emergency service.
