In this guide, we share our top flood restoration tips to help your home recover from flood damage and protect it from any further issues.
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.
Top Flood Restoration Tips for Homeowners in Canberra
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.
