Common Water Extraction Melbourne: FAQs
__________________________________________________
How quickly can you arrive for water extraction in Melbourne?
Our water extraction team is available 24/7 and aims to be onsite within 1 hour of your call, anywhere across Melbourne. In some suburbs we can arrive even faster. Call 1800 958 138 immediately and we dispatch the nearest available team.
Does my insurance cover water extraction?
In most cases, yes. Water extraction and flood damage restoration is covered by most Australian home and contents insurance policies. We are experienced insurance specialists and work directly with all major Australian insurers. No upfront payment is required in the majority of cases. We handle the documentation and communicate with your insurer on your behalf.
How long does water extraction take?
The primary extraction process typically takes 1 to 4 hours depending on the volume of water and the size of the affected area. The structural drying phase that follows usually takes 3 to 5 days. We monitor moisture levels daily and confirm when the property reaches acceptable dryness standards.
Can water extraction prevent mould growth?
Yes. Fast, thorough water extraction is the single most effective way to prevent mould. Mould can begin forming within 24 to 48 hours of water intrusion. Our team removes moisture quickly, applies preventative antimicrobial treatments, and sets up drying equipment to eliminate the conditions mould needs to grow. If mould has already begun, our mould remediation service can treat it.
Can you extract water from carpets without removing them?
In many cases, yes. We use in-place drying techniques, including weighted carpet extraction tools and sub-surface drying systems that dry carpets and underlay without removal. However, in cases of Category 2 or 3 water damage (grey or black water), carpet removal is necessary for health reasons. Our technicians will advise you on the best approach after assessment. See our wet carpet drying service for more details.
