Flood Restoration Services in Tauranga

Our flood restoration process begins with a meticulous inspection of your property. Our certified technicians assess the extent of the water damage by thoroughly examining ceilings, walls, and floors. This initial assessment allows us to categorise the damage accurately and develop a tailored restoration plan.

Classification of Flood Damage:

• Class 1: Minimal water absorption affecting less than 5% of the property. Typically involves isolated areas with minor moisture.
• Class 2: Moderate water absorption affecting between 5% and 40% of the property. This includes moisture-affected walls and full-room carpeting.
• Class 3: Extensive water absorption affecting over 40% of the property. Ceilings and structural elements are significantly impacted.
• Class 4: Severe water absorption involving materials like stone, hardwood, and concrete that require specialised drying techniques and equipment.

Categories of Flood Damage:

• Category 1: Clean water damage from sources such as broken water supply pipes or malfunctioning appliances. Requires prompt action to prevent escalation.
• Category 2: Grey water damage from sources like dishwasher or washing machine spills, and toilet leaks. Contains contaminants that pose health risks.
• Category 3: Black water damage from sewage backups, natural floods, or stagnant water containing hazardous microorganisms. Requires immediate and specialised intervention.

Once the inspection is complete, our team initiates the water removal process. Using powerful vacuums and extraction pumps, we systematically remove standing water from your property. The choice of equipment depends on the severity and category of the flood damage. Prompt water removal is essential to prevent bacterial growth and further structural damage.

After extracting the water, we move on to drying out your property. Our advanced dehumidifiers and air movers work efficiently to eliminate remaining moisture from walls, floors, and ceilings. This step is critical to prevent mould growth and ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly dried. Depending on the extent of the damage, the drying process may take several days to complete.

Floodwaters can severely impact your personal belongings and household items. Our team carefully cleans and sanitises all affected items to remove contaminants and prevent mould growth. We treat clothing, drapery, and carpeting with antimicrobial chemicals to ensure complete decontamination. Additionally, we use air scrubbers to purify the air, enhancing the overall air quality in your property.

The final step in our flood restoration process is restoration. Depending on the damage, this may involve repairing or replacing drywall, insulation, and other structural elements. For less severe damage, we might only need to install a few drywall panels. In more extensive cases, we ensure that all toxic and hazardous materials are safely handled and removed. Our goal is to restore your property to its pre-flood condition, ensuring it is safe and habitable once again.
