Flood Cleanup – The First 48 Hours

When water floods your home or business, every hour counts. The longer water sits, the more damage it causes — warped floors, ruined carpets, damaged walls, and dangerous mould growth. Acting fast is critical.

  • Hour 0: Ensure safety — turn 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 help — extraction 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.

Our Process

Drying Equipment And Monitoring

Professional equipment makes all the difference in flood recovery.

1

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.

2

Moisture Monitoring

We use professional moisture meters to track drying progress. Regular readings ensure everything dries properly and help prevent hidden moisture pockets that lead to mould.

3

Drying Timeframes

Typical drying takes 2–5 days depending on the extent of water damage, materials affected, and humidity levels. We monitor progress throughout the entire process.

4

Final Assessment

Once moisture levels are back to normal, we do a final assessment and provide documentation showing your property is dry and safe.

Common Questions

We aim to respond within hours of your call, 24/7. The faster we start extraction and drying, the better your chances of preventing permanent damage and mould growth.
Yes, we're experienced in working with insurance companies. We provide all necessary documentation including photos, moisture readings, equipment logs, and detailed reports for your claim.
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 2–5 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.
