What is Flood Restoration?

Flood restoration is the process of returning a property to its original condition after damage caused by water, typically through events such as burst pipes, natural disasters, or appliance failures like washing machine overflows.

At Synergy Four Services, we follow a detailed flood restoration process designed to remove water, dry any affected areas, minimise any further damage, and address the health risk of mould growth.

Quick action after a flood is essential to prevent further damage. Standing water and excess moisture is the perfect environment for mould damage, leading to structural issues and additional health hazards.

Engaging professional flood restoration services ensures a thorough cleaning and drying process which is essential for long-term protection.

Tip 1: Prioritise Water Removal and Drying Services

The first step in flood restoration is to remove any standing water. Timely action can minimise issues and prevent extensive damage to your homes' structural integrity and belongings.

Professional water removal services use advanced drying equipment, such as industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to eliminate moisture and kick-start the drying process.

At Synergy Four Services, our specialised drying equipment is designed for both residential and commercial properties so we can ensure every affected area is fully dried out.

Structural drying is key to avoiding mould damage which can develop within 24-48 hours of water exposure.

Tip 2: Assess the Extent of the Damage

Correctly evaluating and assessing the extent of the damage is crucial for a successful restoration. Our experts are able to determine which areas have been affected by water, including floors, walls, and furnishings.

This step is essential to determine the specific flood restoration techniques needed to restore your home.

If you’ve experienced a significant water event, you should consider bringing in professionals to evaluate your home’s structural soundness.

Our team of experts use state-of-the-art industrial equipment to thoroughly assess affected areas and treat any damage that may be unseen, which can lead to costly repairs down the line.

Tip 3: Use Professional Drying Equipment and Techniques

Restoring your home after a flood requires more than just household fans and towels. Doing so is practically an invitation to ongoing mould problems!

You will require a professional drying service that has the right equipment, such as industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers, which are essential for adequately drying water-damaged properties.


At Synergy Four Services, we use the latest technology and advanced techniques to ensure the quickest and best results. We cover every detail from wet carpet drying to structural drying to minimise damage and prevent future problems.

Our certified technicians are trained in comprehensive flood restoration and have many years of experience, so you can rest assured that your property is in capable hands!

Tip 4: Rely on Emergency Services for Immediate Assistance

Time is a critical factor when dealing with water damage. Prompt action minimises health risks and will go a long way in maintaining the structural integrity of your property.

Our emergency services provide a rapid response to address water damage immediately, minimising the risk of damage to other areas of your home. Water has a way of seeping into everything, so don't delay in engaging a professional.
