Our Professional Flood Damage Restoration Process
We follow emergency protocols, three-step methodology that delivers measurable damage mitigation and complete restoration.
Step 1: Emergency Assessment & Water Extraction
Within 2 hours of your call, our emergency response team arrives equipped for immediate mitigation:
We immediately:
- Assess water source and stop ongoing water intrusion (if safe)
- Categorise water type (clean, greywater, blackwater) determining treatment protocols
- Identify affected areas and materials requiring extraction
- Deploy truck-mounted extraction equipment removing standing water
- Document damage with photos for insurance claims
- Shut off electricity in affected areas ensuring safety
Critical first hours: Professional rapid response prevents permanent structural damage, contents loss, and mould growth within 24-48 hours.
Step 2: Subsurface Moisture Extraction & Dehumidification
Standing water removal is only the beginning. Professional restoration addresses hidden moisture:
We deploy:
- Moisture detection equipment identifying moisture hidden in walls, subflooring, and structural materials
- Specialised extraction removing water from carpet backing, padding, and underlay
- Industrial dehumidifiers controlling humidity preventing mould growth
- Air movers creating air circulation accelerating drying
- Continuous monitoring tracking drying progress
Critical 48-72 hours: Controlling moisture during this period prevents mould colonisation and structural damage.
Step 3: Sanitisation, Restoration & Mould Prevention
Once water is removed and drying is underway, we address contamination and restoration:
We execute:
- Sanitisation of affected areas killing bacteria and pathogens
- Mould remediation if growth has begun
- Carpet and underlay assessment determining salvage vs replacement
- Drywall and insulation evaluation identifying damage requiring replacement
- Content restoration (furniture, personal items, documents)
- Final inspection and moisture verification before occupancy
Result: your home returned to safe, healthy, pre-loss condition.
