01 Safety before clean-up

Flood damage restoration Sunshine Coast.

After floodwater or stormwater enters a Sunshine Coast home — from Maroochydore to Caloundra or the hinterland — stay safe, photograph the water line, and call 1800 739 867. Coastal humidity slows natural drying, so monitored equipment matters once the water category is assessed.

Wait until authorities say it is safe to return. Treat floodwater as contaminated, wear gloves and boots, and keep clear of wet electrics. If anyone is in danger, call 000.

02 The flood difference

The water line is only the beginning.

Floodwater can leave silt on plaster and joinery while moisture remains in wall cavities and beneath the floor. Outside water needs a different approach from a clean indoor pipe leak.

Canal, creek water or storm tide?

Maroochy and Mooloolah catchments, local canals and overland paths can push water into low streets. Beachside apartments, canal estates and elevated hinterland homes each need different access and material checks.

Local flood situations we prepare for

Tell us where the water came from, how high it reached and whether authorities have cleared your return.

  1. Canal or creek waterWater into ground-floor living areas and garages, with sediment and possible contamination affecting material decisions.
  2. Storm tide or wave-driven entrySalt-influenced water near foreshore buildings needs a different starting assessment from a clean roof leak.
  3. Silt lines on surfacesMarks on plaster and joinery show how high the water sat; the material beneath still needs assessment.
  4. Under-house and storage spacesElevated coastal builds can hold silt and damp air; roof and gutter failures can also leave rooms soaked for days.
  5. Short-stay and holiday propertiesManagers and insurers may need clear photos and notes while guests are relocated; humidity makes prompt moisture checks important.
03 The restoration plan

Six steps.
A clear record.

Contamination, affected materials and site conditions shape the work. We explain what can be dried, what needs removal and what happens next.

  1. 01

    Make safe

    Check access and hazards. Wet electrics need a licensed electrician before power is restored.

  2. 02

    Extract water + silt

    Remove standing water and clear mud and debris from accessible areas.

  3. 03

    Decide what stays

    Explain what can be dried versus removed after floodwater contact.

  4. 04

    Clean + sanitise

    Treat affected surfaces after contaminated water.

  5. 05

    Dry + monitor

    Dry the structure and take moisture readings until materials reach a dry standard.

  6. 06

    Document

    Keep clear photos, readings and work records your insurer can follow.

04 Clean-up to drying

Two stages. One measured plan.

Assessment and clean-up address the immediate damage. Monitored structural drying addresses moisture left in the property.

05 Cost + insurance

A guide before the inspection.

Every job is quoted after inspection. These guide ranges come from past Reztor jobs and include GST.

Medium job · 2–3 rooms$1,000–$2,500
Large or whole-house jobfrom $4,000–$5,000+
Mould remediation · depending on area$400–$1,200
Assessment and report on its own$200–$350

08 Good to know

Flood questions, answered plainly.

Every property is different. Call with your suburb, the water source and whether authorities have cleared your return.

01Why does Sunshine Coast drying feel slower?

Higher humidity and warmer nights change drying conditions. We size dehumidifiers and air movers to the readings, not the forecast alone.

02Canal water versus roof leak — same clean-up?

No. Outside or canal water is assessed as possibly contaminated. A clean roof leak is a different starting point.

03Holiday rental — can you deal with the property manager?

Yes. Share access codes and contacts when you call. We keep a record suitable for insurer and manager files.

04Do you remove wet carpet after floodwater?

Often yes. Flood-soaked carpet and underlay are frequently unsavable. We explain before removal.

0524/7 line?

06Mould after a “small” flood?

Possible within days in coastal humidity. Ask us to check moisture even if the room looks empty.

09 Start with clear details

Tell us what’s happened.

Share the site address, the floodwater source, what is affected and the best way to reach you. Calling does not commit you to work.
