Water damage can strike unexpectedly, whether from heavy rains, burst pipes, overflowing drains, or storm flooding. When it happens, acting quickly is essential to prevent long-term structural issues and mould growth. We specialise in comprehensive water damage restoration in Sydney, ensuring your property is restored quickly, safely, and effectively. But what exactly happens during a water damage restoration service? Here’s what you can expect when you call in our professional team.
Immediate Emergency Response
Water damage is time-sensitive. The longer water sits, the more extensive the damage becomes. That’s why our team offers 24/7 rapid response across Sydney. As soon as you contact us, we dispatch skilled technicians equipped with advanced tools to your property.
Damage Inspection and Assessment
Once on-site, our technicians carry out a detailed inspection. This involves identifying the source of the water, categorising the type of water (clean, grey, or contaminated), and evaluating the extent of the damage. Using specialised tools such as moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, we detect hidden water that may be trapped beneath flooring or behind walls.
This initial assessment is critical for creating a customised restoration plan that ensures no damage is overlooked.
Water Extraction
The first physical step in the process is removing standing water. Using high-powered pumps and industrial-grade vacuums, we extract water quickly and efficiently from carpets, floors, and other affected areas. This step is vital to prevent water from spreading further and causing secondary damage to walls, furniture, and electrical systems.
Drying and Dehumidification
Even after visible water is removed, moisture can linger in building materials. If left untreated, this can lead to mould growth and structural weakening. To address this, we set up heavy-duty air movers and dehumidifiers to thoroughly dry the property. Our technicians monitor humidity and moisture levels throughout the process to ensure the area is completely dry before moving to the next stage.
Cleaning and Sanitisation
Water damage can leave behind bacteria, odours, and contaminants, particularly if the water came from a sewage backup or storm flooding. During this stage, we perform deep cleaning and sanitisation using antimicrobial treatments to eliminate bacteria and deodorisation methods to restore a fresh environment. Carpets, upholstery, and salvageable furniture are also cleaned to remove any lingering pollutants.
Restoration and Repairs
The final stage is restoring your property to its pre-damage condition. This can range from minor repairs like replacing carpet underlay and repainting walls to more significant work such as repairing flooring, cabinetry, or structural elements. We handle both small-scale and large-scale restorations to make your home or business safe and comfortable again.
