Flood Damage Restoration Adelaide

With wet carpet, time matters most

Carpet sits on a foam underlay that soaks up water like a sponge. The surface can feel dry while the underlay and floor beneath are still saturated, and mould can start to grow within a day or two. The sooner drying starts, the better the chance of saving the carpet.

What to do right now

• If water is near power points or appliances, turn the power off at the switchboard before going in
• Stop the water at the meter or the appliance tap
• Take photos for your insurer
• Lift furniture, rugs and anything that could stain off the wet carpet
• Call us

How water damage restoration works

1. Standing water is extracted from the carpet.
2. We check how far the water has travelled, including under the carpet.
3. Saturated underlay is removed where needed.
4. Drying equipment is set up to dry the carpet and floor.
5. Once dry, the carpet is re-laid and cleaned.

Carpet affected by sewage or outdoor floodwater usually can’t be saved and should be replaced.
