Flood Cleanup â The First 48 Hours
When water floods your home or business, every hour counts. The longer water sits, the more damage it causesâwarped floors, ruined carpets, damaged walls, and dangerous mould growth. Acting fast is critical.
Your 48-hour action plan:
- Hour 0: Ensure safetyâturn off power if needed, avoid electrical hazards
- Hour 1: Stop the water source if possible (turn off mains, fix leaks)
- Hour 2-4: Call for professional helpâextraction must begin immediately
- Hour 4-24: Water extraction, moisture readings, drying equipment setup
- Hour 24-48: Continued drying, moisture monitoring, prevent mould growth
- After 48 hours: Document damage for insurance, assess what can be saved
Professional extraction and drying during this window can save your carpets, floors, and belongings from permanent damage.

Drying Equipment and Monitoring
Professional equipment makes all the difference in flood recovery.
Air Movers & Dehumidifiers
Industrial air movers circulate air to speed evaporation, while dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air. Together, they dry carpets, walls, and floors efficiently.
Moisture Monitoring
We use professional moisture meters to track drying progress. Regular readings ensure everything is drying properly and help prevent hidden moisture pockets that lead to mould.
Drying Timeframes
Typical drying takes 2â5 days depending on the extent of water damage, materials affected, and humidity levels. We monitor progress throughout the entire process.
Final Assessment
Once moisture levels are back to normal, we do a final assessment and provide documentation showing your property is dry and safe.

It depends on water type (clean vs contaminated), how long it sat, and the carpet condition. Clean water flooding caught quickly can often be saved. Sewage contamination or prolonged soaking usually means replacement is safer.
Typical drying takes 2â5 days with professional equipment running continuously. We monitor moisture levels throughout and won't stop until everything is properly dry to prevent mould.
Fast extraction and proper drying are the best mould prevention. Mould typically needs 24-48 hours of moisture to start growing. Professional drying equipment and monitoring help us stay ahead of mould development.
