01 Safety before clean-up

Flood damage restoration Gold Coast.

After stormwater, creek flooding or overland flow enters a Gold Coast property, wait for authorities to clear re-entry, photograph the water line, avoid wet electrics, and call 1800 739 867. Our own team will talk through what happened, confirm availability and explain the next step.

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.

Stormwater, creek water or overland flow?

Gold Coast flooding can affect canalside and low-lying properties as well as homes and businesses exposed to intense rain. Water source, contact time and construction determine the assessment and drying plan.

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. Storm, creek or canal waterFloodwater through lower rooms, garages and under-house spaces, with sediment and possible contamination affecting material decisions.
  2. Overland flow after intense rainWater across yards into laundries, living areas and commercial premises after intense Gold Coast rain.
  3. Silt lines on surfacesMarks on plaster and joinery show how high the water sat; the material beneath still needs assessment.
  4. Contents and soft furnishingsSome items cannot be dried safely after contaminated water. Photograph them before moving if safe.
  5. Secondary moistureWall cavities may still need readings after the visible water and silt are gone.
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.

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.

01Is floodwater treated differently from a clean leak?

Yes. Floodwater and water from an unknown source can carry sewage, chemicals and debris, so it needs extra precautions and cleaning. Avoid contact and call for advice.

02Is emergency contact available 24/7?

Yes. Call 1800 739 867 at any time. We confirm current availability and attendance timing for your address.

03Should I turn off the water and power?

Turn off the water only if the valve is safe to reach. Do not touch wet switchboards, appliances or wiring; a licensed electrician should check them before use.

04Will my insurance cover it?

Your insurer decides what your policy covers. We record moisture readings, photos and the work done so your insurer has clear information.

05Can wet carpet and flooring be saved?

It depends on the water source, contamination, how long it has been wet and the material. Assessment shows whether drying, lifting or removal is appropriate.

06How much does it cost?

Every job is quoted after inspection. As a guide from past Reztor jobs (incl. GST): small jobs about $700–$1,400, medium (2–3 rooms) about $1,000–$2,500, large or whole-house jobs from about $4,000–$5,000+.

09 Start with clear details
