Professional Melbourne’s Water Extraction Specialists

Water in your property right now?

At Flood Services Melbourne, Water Extraction Is What We Do. Water extraction is our core speciality, and we’ve built our entire operation around doing it faster, more thoroughly, and more reliably than anyone else in Melbourne. When water hits your property, you need a team that knows exactly what to do the moment they walk through the door. That’s us. IICRC-certified, fully equipped, and onsite within 1 hour.

We provide professional water extraction in Melbourne for residential and commercial properties. Our team responds quickly, removes excess water using commercial-grade extraction equipment that goes where household tools can’t, pulling moisture from carpet, subfloor, wall cavities, and structural materials, and starts the drying process to help reduce further damage, mould growth and costly repairs.

Every hour matters. Standing water causes mould within 24 hours and structural damage within 48. We’re onsite within 1 hour, anywhere in Melbourne, any time of day or night.

Emergency Steps- What to Do Right Now

Call 1800 958 138 immediately. Don’t wait. Every minute counts. Our team is available 24/7.

  • Turn off the water source if safe
  • Switch off electricity in affected areas
  • Photograph everything for your insurer
  • Move valuables to dry ground. Relocate electronics, documents, and irreplaceable items
    out of the water zone if it is safe to do so.

How We Extracts Water

Emergency Call & Dispatch

You call 1800 958 138. We assess the situation on the phone and dispatch
the nearest available team immediately. Our target is 1 hour to your door.

Site Assessment & Safety Check

Our technicians assess electrical hazards, water category, and the full
extent of affected areas using moisture meters and thermal cameras.

Rapid Water Extraction

Industrial truck-mounted or portable extraction units remove standing water
from floors, carpets, and surface areas at high volume and speed.

Deep Moisture Removal

We use weighted extraction tools, carpet wands, and sub-surface equipment
to pull absorbed moisture from carpet underlay, subfloors, and wall cavities.

Structural Drying Setup

Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers are placed strategically to dry
structural materials after extraction is complete. This phase typically runs
3 to 5 days.

Moisture Monitoring & Insurance Documentation

Daily moisture readings track drying progress. Full documentation is provided
for your insurer, with direct insurer communication available.

Industrial-Grade Equipment – Equipment That Gets Every Drop

Consumer-grade equipment leaves moisture behind. Ours doesn’t.

Truck-Mounted Extractors

High-powered truck-mounted units deliver extraction capacity far beyond
portable equipment, ideal for large-scale residential and commercial flooding.

Industrial Air Movers

High-velocity air movers accelerate evaporation from structural surfaces,
carpets, and hard floors following primary extraction.

Commercial Dehumidifiers

LGR dehumidifiers extract airborne moisture from the environment,
preventing re-absorption into drying structural materials.

Thermal Imaging Cameras

Infrared thermal cameras show moisture hidden behind walls, under floors,
and inside ceiling cavities, invisible to the naked eye.

Moisture Meters

Pin and pinless moisture meters track moisture levels in walls, flooring,
and structural timber throughout the drying process.

Sub-Floor Drying Systems

Specialist drying matting and sub-floor air injection systems dry timber
subfloors without costly demolition in many cases.

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.
