Our Water Damage Restoration Process Involves

Assessment and Inspection

The journey to restoring your home after a flood starts with a meticulous assessment. Our restoration professionals conduct a thorough inspection to understand the full extent of the damage. We evaluate floors, walls, ceilings, and belongings, identifying potential health risks such as mould growth. This in-depth assessment helps us to determine the appropriate restoration methods and resources required to bring your home back to its pre-flood condition.

Water Extraction

Removing excess water is a critical first step in flood restoration. Specialised pumps and vacuums are deployed to quickly extract water from flooded areas, including basements, crawl spaces, and living areas. The speed and efficiency of carpet water extraction are essential to minimise the time water remains in contact with surfaces and belongings, preventing further damage and reducing the risk of mould growth.

Drying and Dehumidification

Eliminating all remaining moisture is crucial after water extraction. Professional-grade fans, dehumidifiers, and moisture meters are employed to thoroughly dry affected areas, including walls, floors, and ceilings. The drying process can take several days or even weeks depending on the extent of the damage and the materials involved. This meticulous approach ensures that all hidden moisture is removed, preventing potential structural damage and the growth of harmful mould.

Cleaning and Sanitisation

Floodwater often carries contaminants that pose health risks, especially if it originates from storms or sewage systems. Our team addresses these concerns by thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting all surfaces and belongings. We use antimicrobial treatments to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and fungi, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for your home. This cleaning process encompasses floors, walls, furniture, and appliances, along with restoring affected personal items.

Structural Repairs

Water damage often weakens structural elements such as floors, walls, and ceilings. Flood restoration experts assess and repair structural damage to ensure the safety and functionality of your home. This might involve rebuilding drywall, replacing flooring, or repairing or replacing damaged beams or supports. These structural repairs ensure that your home is safe and sound after the flood.
