Water Extraction In Coolabine - Reztor Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast experiences its fair share of natural disasters. Though many homes and businesses prepare for water damage events, many still succumb to the destructive nature of floods.
Floods result from both natural and man-made causes such as leaks and backed-up drains. When water overflows to places where it shouldn’t, your properties stand to suffer different forms of water damage in varying degrees of severity.
Wooden floors, carpets, and items made of absorbent materials rapidly soak up water. This leads your items to expand, bend, and warp out of shape. They’ll look unsightly and far removed from their original appearance. Your items will also be more susceptible to decay at an alarming rate.
Reztor Restoration is the company to call for dependable carpet restoration and water extraction. We are a locally-owned and operated business that specializes in clearing any damaged area flooded with water using state-of-the-art equipment, skill, and wits that could only be earned after accruing years of experience.

Wet Carpet Drying Cooloolabin – Consistent Carpet Cleaning
An irresponsible homeowner is hesitant and allows fear to take control.
When left to dry for too long, a wet carpet damages the padding and flooring underneath it. This is especially true for floors made of highly absorbent material such as wood or limestone tiles, the latter being highly susceptible to water damage if not properly sealed.
The longer water is left to linger on the carpet, the higher the likelihood of exposed materials to buckle, bend, and break apart. To make matters worse, mould and mildew thrive in moist areas that are left undisturbed.
Before you find yourself in a similar situation, know that Reztor is available for hire any day, any time of day. We can get any submerged area and any affected carpet clean, dry, and ready for reuse for whatever purpose in your home or business in no time at all!

The cost of professional water restoration services is too expensive. How much is the downpayment?
There’s no need to worry about making payments upfront.
We do the work first while keeping track of the costs incurred so that you get charged appropriately for services rendered, no down payment required.
What’s the difference between rainwater and floodwater?
The former is cleaner, and in some cases, safe enough to consume compared to the latter. Rainwater also causes clean water damage.
Floodwater causes black water damage and is most likely to contain pathogens and other harmful elements when mixed with raw sewage.
The deadly combination of floodwater and sewage is the kind of water that infiltrates homes when flooding occurs due to storms.
Sewage is overflowing from a drain outside and is now flowing into my home. When is reztor open for calls?
You can call Reztor any day, any time of day.
Our lines are open to receive calls 24/7 365. Call us to work on emergencies, and we will be at your address within one hour as part of our 1-hour rapid response guarantee.
What should be done before a technician arrives to conduct flood clean-up?
Before a professional can come in to take charge of your water damage situation, make sure to consider the weather. Decide if it could help or antagonise the drying efforts that will take place and make adjustments accordingly.
Do not use a regular home vacuum cleaner for water extraction. It is likely that the vacuum you have is not the kind that is used for water suction.
Do these preliminary steps so you can minimise the damage done to your carpet when faced with water damage emergencies.
Can you give me more detail about reztor’s ‘1 hour rapid response’ guarantee?
Reztor Restoration’s ‘1-hour rapid response’ guarantee is all about responding to water damage emergencies at the soonest possible time. We guarantee to respond without delay within an hour of receiving your call for help during emergencies.
Through our system, the mess left by disasters is dealt with promptly and water damage is prevented or minimized.
Is fish tank water clean?
No.
The water that comes from fish tanks contains bacteria and other harmful elements that can cause sickness in humans. The same liquid is likely to seep into porous materials such as carpets and wall sheeting.
It is because of these reasons that water damage caused by leaks from fish tanks is categorized as a category 3 black water scenario. Materials drenched in water from vessels will need to be disposed of fast to prevent people from getting sick from the harmful elements present in the fish tank water.
How soon must flood water damage be dealt with?
Any type of water damage must be dealt with as soon as possible.
You have as little as 48 hours to conduct water damage restoration on soaked items and other properties submerged in flood. Inaction increases your risk of losing your items to irreversible decay, timber rot, and mould infestations.
Is there a way to save more money when recovering from water damage?
You’ll save money when you hire specialists who have the right tools and knowledge to get the job done. Preserve your water-damaged properties today and call Reztor for fast and effective restoration.
Is water extraction even necessary when dealing with flooding or water damage incidents?
Water extraction is a task of primary importance when dealing with flooding or water damage incidents. Don’t risk getting yourself exposed to dangers associated with water damage.
Call in Reztor professionals instead and let us deal with the problem for you.
Is there a possibility that my claim will be voided?

Frequently Asked Questions
1 Should I call Reztor Restoration first or my insurance company first?
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.
2 How do you know when the property in Cooloolabin is dry?
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.
3 What should I do if water has damaged my carpet?
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 Cooloolabin 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
4 Can my carpet be dried without lifting or removing 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.
5 What is the process of restoring water-damaged carpet?
All water damage situations in Cooloolabin 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.
6 An accident happened. Water is everywhere. What should we do first?
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 Cooloolabin for emergency water removal within an hour or two.
7 How much damage might floods cause to my Cooloolabin house?
It’s important not to wait around to find out what kind of damage your property in Cooloolabin 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.
8 Is water extraction even necessary when dealing with flooding or water damage incidents?
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.
9 When is your office open for calls?
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.
10 It is an excellent option to let my property in Cooloolabin dry out on its own to save money?
Letting your Cooloolabin 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.
11 Is water extraction even necessary when dealing with flooding or water damage incidents?
12 Is there someone in charge of keeping track of what Reztor employees are up to while on the job?
Absolutely! Our in-house technicians have the proper training and are assigned to the job you request.
A project manager supervises these technicians who keep tabs on what work is done and when. They work as a team and are adaptable, friendly, and highly knowledgeable on all things restoration and repair.
13 How will my details and information be managed?
The project manager we assign for each specific case handles client information.
It ensures that your information is taken care of and organised for easy access for your convenience.
Further, our company insists on being transparent with you during the whole restoration process, from start to finish. We’ll explain whatever we do and keep you updated on our progress.
14 How fast could one of your personnel arrive after I call?
We have a 1-hour rapid response guaranteed when you call us to work on water damage emergencies.
We have the proper equipment and technology to get affected premises dry as quickly as possible for a rapid response. We are a fully-equipped and licensed restoration company in Cooloolabin.
15 What should be considered before a technician arrives to dry my carpet?
Before our professional can come in to take charge of your water damage situation, make sure to consider the weather could help or antagonise the drying efforts that will take place. Do check if rain could find itself indoors. Shut off the water at the source or minimise the amount of water that could get to your carpet.
If you have them available and cannot take out your carpet from where it is, place fans and dehumidifiers in the area where the carpet lies. That is done to promote air circulation and air evaporation. Thus, it will help your wet carpet dry quicker.
Also, consider whether your carpet has padding underneath and check if it is saturated with moisture. When this padding gets wet, mould spores may also attach to it and make it home. Mould can multiply exponentially overnight when not dealt with as soon as possible. Remove the said padding and let it dry if possible.
Do not use a regular home vacuum cleaner to suck up the water. Likely, the vacuum you have is not the kind that is used for water suction.
Do these preliminary steps so you can minimise the damage done to your carpet when faced with water damage emergencies.
16 How long does the flood clean-up take?
Considering that every job is different, a turnaround time of 3-4 days is an average for our flood clean-up service.
We are a leading restoration company in Cooloolabin that can reach your property within the hour. We have a maximum response time of around 1-2 hours for water damage emergencies.
17 How long does the carpet drying service take?
Letting your 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.
18 What are the types of water?
There are three types of water: clean water, greywater, and black water.
A primary task of technicians is to identify the type of water present in the affected areas. Knowing the kind of water at play can adequately assess and anticipate the type of damage it could potentially cause and the necessary equipment that he should use.
Clean water originates from a potable (drinking) source. It is entirely safe to use and can be used without any concern. That is why it is best to use it in water damage emergencies.
Greywater comes from the kitchen sink and bathroom washbasin. It contains soap, shampoo, detergents, and other contaminated materials similar to clean water in terms of sanitation but not for everyday usage.
Blackwater comes from the toilet or urinal. It is highly unsanitary and should only be used for handling greywater tasks. That is why you must not use it in the kitchen or bathroom.
19 Do different kinds of water cause the same kind of damage?
Yes. Different kinds of water cause different kinds of damage. Water that is free of sewage and harmful toxins causes clean water damage. That type of damage is the least severe.
On the other hand, water spewed from appliances and fixtures such as washing machines, toilets, and pumps cause grey water damage. Direct contact with greywater poses some harm to humans. To be disinfected before reuse, it may be necessary to remove any affected items by greywater.
Water that involves sewage, floodwater, ocean water, including water from other natural sources, which could cause extreme damage, both structural and microbial causes black water damage. It would be best to act fast when dealing with black water. Disinfection of the affected areas and items will be necessary when dealing with black water damage.
20 What is the first step the Reztor team makes upon arriving after I call?
The team will first conduct an initial inspection once they arrive. Our team can then set an action plan upon gathering the necessary information. In addition, we will make estimates and give you a quotation for works that they deem necessary. Once approved, we will immediately prevent secondary damage such as mould and bacteria.
21 Are there lesser-known causes of water damage in Brisbane?
Aside from floods, your property in Cooloolabin is at risk to suffer water damage from other causes. These causes include, but are not limited to, burst pipe, pipe leakage, appliance mishap, faulty fire sprinkler system, to name a few.
Our team of professionals can adequately assess your property to determine the cause of water damage and what is needed to repair it. We also compare the kind of damage you are getting with the kind of repairs we will do, which will help you determine a better solution for your problem.
22 Why should I hire Reztor instead of conducting water extraction myself? The task seems doable.
Specialised equipment is necessary to work with different kinds of water. It is not well known, but the fact is that water is prone to contamination of life-threatening bacteria, mould, or toxins from metal corrosion.
It is best to know what you are dealing with before attempting anything. By hiring Reztor, you are ensured of your family’s safety and your property. Your property is in good hands with us. Our team is well-trained to assess your problem and give you a safe and cost-effective solution.
23 What kind of damage could flood do to my property?
Visible and internal structural damage and microbial growth are some kinds of damage that await property that isn’t taken care of at once. Delaying protective measures by even a few hours could aggravate damage to your property in the long term. Time is of the essence when you’re up against flooding.
Several health risks may also arise because of this for you, your family, or your business. However, you can avoid health dangers by preparing for flood events.
24 I'm not convinced that floodwater could be as destructive as advertised. What could it do to my Cooloolabin property?
You stand to suffer potential losses that you might not be able to afford and a decrease in the property’s value when you delay protective measures by even a few hours once your property in Cooloolabin is hit and submerged in flood. That can cause irreversible structural damage to your property. Like mould and mildew growth, health risks could also arise from this mishap.
Don’t take that risk! Have specialists that could take the necessary steps to clean up the mess left by floods.
25 I'm afraid that I’ll pay hidden charges when I hire Reztor. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
A project manager is on the job for every job to keep tabs. It’s our way to make sure you know what work is done and how much you’ll be charged. You won’t pay any hidden charges when Reztor is on the case. Reztor offers diverse options to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality.
26 Is it more practical to hire an expert to dry my carpets or clean my place of flood?
Unless you’re a certified water damage restorer and have the necessary tools and specialised equipment needed for the job, you’re better off hiring Reztor.
Our technicians have the necessary training and experience to deal with whatever water damage issue you may have. In addition, we could do a more efficient job at drying your carpets. As a result, you could avoid causing unnecessary harm to your belongings when you hire Reztor for the job.
27 What's the most common cause of flooding in Cooloolabin?
The answer might surprise you. Flooding due to a burst pipe or during pipe fittings is the most common cause of flooding in Cooloolabin. Meanwhile, flooding due to rain is less common by comparison.
Flooding is more likely to happen when your property has poor drainage or poorly installed plumbing or structures. Fixing pipe leaks and not letting other problems happen could diminish the chances of flooding.
28 How soon will a Reztor employee arrive when I call for help?
Our company guarantees a 1-hour rapid response from the time you call in cases of water damage emergencies. Expect prompt, rapid service during emergencies when you call Reztor.
