Is flood water dangerous?

Flood water is often categorised as contaminated. It should be handled with appropriate PPE and decontamination processes — avoid contact and do not disturb.

What is the first step after a flood?

Ensure electricity is turned off and contact Clean Dry Restore immediately to begin professional water extraction and make-safe.

Why is professional flood restoration necessary?

Flood water is often contaminated and penetrates deep into building structures, requiring industrial drying equipment and decontamination.

How do you handle contaminated flood water?

We use appropriate disinfectants and sanitisation protocols to remove contamination and pathogens from the property.

Can my flooded carpet be saved?

We assess carpet condition; flood-affected carpets often require removal to prevent health risks and mould growth.

How long does the drying process take?

Drying duration depends on the extent of saturation, typically requiring several days of industrial dehumidification with monitoring.

Will you check for moisture in wall cavities?

Yes, we use thermal imaging and moisture meters to detect trapped water inside walls and floor structures.

Do you help with insurance claims?

We provide detailed documentation and reports to assist you throughout your insurance claim process.

Is mould treatment included in restoration?

Yes, we treat and remove mould growth to ensure the property is safe and healthy for habitation.

What happens to wet insulation?

Wet insulation loses its thermal properties and promotes mould; it must be removed and replaced for safety.

Is the property safe to re-enter?

Only re-enter once power is isolated and our technicians confirm the area is structurally stable.

Overview

Flood Restoration

Flood restoration is the coordinated process of returning a flood-affected property to a clean, dry and safe condition. Flood water can carry contamination, saturate building materials and migrate rapidly into wall cavities, sub-floors and insulation — so a structured, documented response is essential.
