Great question! The best thing you can do is attend to the water damage emergency as soon as possible! We want to start the extraction and drying process to limit secondary damage as soon as we can.
id 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 to protect you from penalties from your own insurance company.
Also, insurance companies often work with their own list of “preferred” water restoration companies. The problem with this 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. To learn more about why it’s important to hire your own water damage restoration company, read this article.
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 them with everything they need for your claim. It also proves that you did your part. Plus, by choosing a water damage restoration company yourself, you won’t get stuck with an insurance “preferred company” that may leave you more frustrated than you were, to begin with.
Did you know? Sometimes an item may feel dry to the touch, but the moisture content is still too high, meaning it isn’t fully dry? 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. Or, think about 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 first touch. 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 specialized restoration tools that tell us the exact moisture content of any item. We also use advanced moisture testing and thermal imaging to monitor the drying process. We will never leave before your property is properly dried, and we’ll always show you the proof that your property is 100% restored.
Call a water damage restoration 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. 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 property before it’s too late. We specialize 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, there is specialised drying equipment and techniques which allow us to dry the affected areas without removing your carpet and underlay. As a bonus, drying your carpet in place, from the top down, reduces the chance of shrinkage and further damage to the carpet. If you want to know more about our carpet drying services click here.
All water damage situations 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. To learn more about our carpet drying services click here.
The first step is safety. Switch off electricity in affected areas if safe to do so, and avoid walking on wet floors. Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the water source. If the leak is ongoing, shut off your mains water supply. Most importantly, call a certified water damage restoration company like Reztor immediately. Every hour counts — rapid response can prevent secondary damage such as mould growth or structural decay.
Reztor operates 24/7 across Brisbane and surrounding suburbs. In most cases, we can have a technician at your property within 45 minutes. Our team is trained to act fast — from initial assessment and water extraction to deploying drying equipment immediately, ensuring damage is contained as quickly as possible.
Most Brisbane home insurance policies cover sudden water damage from events like burst pipes, storms, or appliance failures. However, gradual leaks or lack of maintenance are often excluded. At Reztor, we work directly with insurers, builders, and loss adjusters, providing detailed moisture reports, photos, and IICRC-standard job documentation. This speeds up your claims process and reduces stress during a difficult time.
Flood damage: Usually involves rising water from rivers, flash flooding, or heavy rainfall overwhelming drainage systems.
Storm damage: Often caused by roof leaks, wind-driven rain, or hail.
Internal leaks: Common sources include burst pipes, hot water systems, and overflowing appliances.
Understanding the difference is important for insurance claims. Our team documents the source clearly so you can get the right cover.
We follow the AS-IICRC S500:2025 Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration. Our process includes:
Water extraction with truck-mounted and portable equipment.
Moisture mapping to identify hidden saturation.
Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to accelerate drying.
Antimicrobial treatments to prevent mould and bacteria growth.
Unlike DIY methods, our approach ensures carpets, underlay, and subfloors are thoroughly dried, saving thousands in replacement costs.
Yes. Even a small leak can seep into wall cavities, timber frames, and concrete slabs. Over time, this leads to rot, warping, weakened foundations, and mould infestation. Left untreated, water damage can reduce property value and create ongoing health risks. That’s why fast, professional restoration is essential.
Reztor uses industry-leading equipment, including:
Truck-mounted extractors for rapid water removal.
Low-grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers to remove deep moisture.
Air movers to speed up evaporation.
HEPA air scrubbers to clean and sanitise the air.
Thermal imaging cameras & hygrometers for precise moisture detection.
This professional-grade approach delivers results no household fan or shop vacuum can achieve.
Our Brisbane technicians use thermal imaging cameras and non-invasive moisture meters to identify water intrusion without unnecessary demolition. By mapping out the spread of moisture, we target drying equipment exactly where it’s needed. This prevents hidden mould and structural deterioration that homeowners often overlook.
Untreated water damage creates an ideal environment for mould spores and bacteria. Exposure can trigger:
Respiratory issues such as asthma and allergies.
Headaches, fatigue, and skin irritation.
Serious risks for children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals.
By following IICRC S500 and S520 standards, we ensure contaminated materials are safely remediated, protecting both your property and your family’s health.
