Water Damage East Melbourne - Quick Response Is Essential

Great question! The best thing you can do is promptly attend to the water damage emergency! We want to start the extraction and drying process to limit secondary damage as soon as possible.

Did you know? The property owner’s insurance policy typically includes a clause that places an obligation on you (the property owner) to take action to reduce any further damages that could be caused by flooding?

So, in the event of a water damage loss (pipe break, etc.) or flood, proper and timely drying and mitigation are necessary to stop secondary water damage and protect you from penalties from your own insurance company.

Also, insurance companies often work with their list of “preferred” water restoration companies. The problem is that the “preferred” companies are more concerned with keeping the insurance provider happy (by cutting costs) rather than fully taking care of your problem.

We pride ourselves on being a customer-first company! That means we care about you and your needs, first and foremost.

So, after shutting off your water, you should immediately call us! By bringing in a reputable and professional water damage restoration company that is certified by the IICRC, you can relax knowing everything is being done to prevent secondary damage.

At Reztor Restoration, we’ll also take care of any documents your insurance company may need. We create and send a detailed report to your insurance company that provides everything they need for your claim. It also proves that you did your part.

Plus, by picking your own water damage restoration company, you won’t be forced to work with an insurance “preferred company” that may leave you even more frustrated than before. 

Did you know? Sometimes an item may feel dry to the touch, but the moisture content is still too high, meaning it isn’t dry entirely? 

For example, think about a time when you’ve done laundry, and you pulled out a pair of pants that felt dry because they were warm, but a few hours later, you reach for them, and they are damp. Imagine how much water and moisture could be trapped under your carpet, in your walls, or behind your trim. You probably can’t see or feel the water, but it’s there!

Items in your home may hold moisture within them, which isn’t apparent at the first touch. Yet, we make sure your property is dry properly. That’s because drying is a science! We don’t have to rely on guesswork, thanks to our specialised restoration tools that tell us the exact moisture content of any item. 

In addition, we monitor the drying process with advanced moisture testing and thermal imaging. As a result, we will never leave before your property is dried thoroughly, and we’ll always show you the proof that your property is 100% restored.

Call the Reztor team immediately! If your carpet is not dried sufficiently, there is a high chance that your carpet will start to smell, and mould will develop in as little as 24 hours. 

It is always necessary to act as quickly as possible as mould can pose severe health threats. The carpet will not dry out by itself no matter how many windows you open or fans you put on it. And no, a wet vac won’t fix it – specialised equipment is required. So it is best to call Reztor Restoration as soon as possible. 

Our work involves extracting the water and installing top-of-the-line, professional-grade carpet drying equipment to remove all moisture from the walls, carpet, underlay, and sub-floor to try to save your East Melbourne property before it’s too late. We specialise in wet carpet drying, so there’s a good chance we will be able to save your carpet, so you don’t have to replace it

Yes! Thankfully, with today’s technology advancements, specialised drying equipment and techniques allow us to dry the affected areas without removing your carpet and underlay.

A side benefit of drying your carpet from top to bottom is that it reduces the risk of shrinkage and further damage. If your carpet is wet and you pile on the wetness underneath it, your carpet will never dry properly. In addition, if the moisture is trapped between the layers of underlay, the drying process will be slower, thus causing a longer recovery time.

All water damage situations in East Melbourne are unique and should be assessed to determine the best course of action. Generally speaking, the first step is to extract the freestanding water using professional-grade equipment. 

We then apply antimicrobial chemicals to the carpet to reduce/prevent any bacterial and mould growth. Finally, specialised equipment is installed to complete the drying process. The equipment will be left running overnight to ensure that the carpet is dried thoroughly.

The first step you should take is to prevent or reduce further flooding. You can do this by identifying the source of water, and if possible, shutting the main valve off while waiting for Reztor. We can be onsite in East Melbourne for emergency water removal within an hour or two.

It’s important not to wait around to find out what kind of damage your property in East Melbourne could suffer from due to flooding. Loss of revenue and decrease in property value, structural damage, microbial growth are just a few effects of delaying protective measures by even a few hours.

Water extraction is necessary, and it is a task of primary importance when dealing with flooding or water damage incidents. Most people, however, are unaware of the risks associated with water extraction.

The dangers involved are creating a path to drain water and exposing the extraction area to bacteria and mould. Most importantly, water extraction is necessary only if it improves the quality of your property’s restoration, not just to get rid of wetness. 

In these cases, don’t risk getting yourself exposed to these dangers. Instead, call our team to deal with it immediately to minimise risk from these dangers.

We offer our superior services around the clock, 24/7. Call us any time of the week, and we will get one of our technicians on the case fast. 

We have 24/7 phone support so that you can reach us whenever it’s most convenient for you, which is what we aim to achieve.

Letting your East Melbourne property dry out on its own is NOT a good option. Mould could grow on your items, and building materials can swell and rot when you do an improper drying job.

Avoid these issues by hiring experts who know what they’re doing, like Reztor.

Before we start drying, we first conduct a thorough and detailed assessment. We also prepare the necessary paperwork before and while we work.

You’ll save money when you get specialists who have the right tools and knowledge for the job. That is because further damage to your properties that could lead you to throw them away is prevented, and the integrity of what remains is preserved.
