When unexpected water damage strikes your home or business—whether from a storm, burst pipe, or leaking appliance—it’s not just about removing the water. A thorough and professional water damage assessment and restoration process is essential to properly restore your property, protect your health, and avoid long-term structural issues.
At Reztor, we provide comprehensive water damage restoration solutions tailored to the unique needs of Australian properties. Here’s a complete guide to how the process works and why choosing trained professionals makes all the difference.
? Step 1: The Importance of a Detailed Water Damage Assessment
Before any restoration work begins, a qualified technician must inspect the extent of the water damage. This is not just a visual check; it involves moisture readings, infrared imaging, and structural evaluation to detect hidden water intrusion in walls, floors, insulation, and ceilings.
At Reztor, our technicians use advanced tools to map the spread of moisture and classify the type of water involved (clean, grey, or black water), helping to shape a safe and efficient restoration plan.
?? Step 2: Water Extraction and Containment
Once the assessment is complete, the immediate priority is water removal. We deploy industrial-grade pumps and vacuum units to extract standing water quickly and reduce further damage.
To prevent cross-contamination and mould spread, we contain the affected area using barriers and negative air pressure machines. This step is critical in properties with extensive flooding or sewage exposure.
?? Step 3: Drying and Dehumidification
Even after visible water is removed, building materials retain moisture that can lead to rot, warping, or mould. Using commercial air movers and dehumidifiers, we dry the property thoroughly—often over several days.
Reztor monitors moisture levels during this phase to ensure all areas reach safe and dry conditions before moving to the next step of the water damage assessment and restoration process.
? Step 4: Cleaning and Sanitising
Floodwaters and leaks often carry contaminants, especially if the water comes from external sources or sewage. Our technicians clean affected surfaces using antibacterial treatments, remove damaged materials if necessary, and treat air quality using HEPA filters.
We also deodorise the space to eliminate musty smells that commonly linger after water exposure.
? Step 5: Full Restoration and Repairs
The final phase is restoring your home or workplace to its pre-damage condition. This could involve:
- Plasterboard and insulation replacement
- Flooring repairs or reinstallation
- Painting and cosmetic touch-ups
- Structural repairs
Reztor can coordinate all repairs, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience with quality workmanship.
