Why Flooding Needs Immediate Action
Flooding is New Zealand’s most frequent natural disaster. According to Auckland Council data there over 16,000 Auckland homes and buildings at risk, so the risk is real. Even small indoor floods can cause major issues if not dealt with quickly. Water spreads fast and seeps into carpets, walls and ceilings, and structural elements. If left unmanaged, it can lead to mould and mildew affecting air quality and your health and structural damage that can weaken the safety and integrity of your building, as well as higher repair costs – the longer water remains, the more damage it causes.

Flood Restoration Process
Assessment
Give your insurance company a call, then phone us with your claim number; the sooner we can attend to the issue the lower the damage that will be caused. Upon arrival, our (IICRC) certified technicians will assess the water damage and class it according to its severity. This will inform how we restore the damage.
Water Removal
When our team arrive onsite they will assess the extent of the damage and water migration. They will then get the extraction process underway to extract as much water as possible. We use quality assured truck mounted and portable extraction machines.
Drying
We tailor drying programs specific to each site. We dry to IICRC standards using state of the art commercial air movers, air purifiers, drying mats and dehumidifiers. This equipment not only dries carpet, but also floors, walls, and other structures. We monitor the environment being dried via a wired sensor system for optimum drying.
Restoration
Our flood recovery technicians will regularly monitor the drying process with site inspections most days. Regular readings using thermo-hygrometers, moisture meters, and thermal imaging allow us to monitor and adjust the drying process. We'll also let you know if building remediation work is needed. Site inspection reports documenting the process are emailed to you and/or your insurance company.
What Can You Do To Help
Guard Against Electrcuation
When water mixes with electricity, the result can be deadly. Make sure a registered electrician has isolated the area before remediation work is carried out. Don’t touch any electrical points or appliances until the electricity has been turned off. If you are standing in water don’t try to turn off electricity at the fuse board, and never go into an area where electrical outlets are exposed to water. Get a registered electrician to carry out a remedial works and/or electrical testing of appliances as required.
Find The Source Of The Flood
Find the source of the flood and, if possible, stop it by closing the valve or isolating the area. Call registered plumber to fix the problem. You should attempt to clean up as much of the water as possible by soaking it up with towels or other porous materials or decanting it with buckets in order to minimise some of the damage. It is also always helpful to take photographs, as these are often very beneficial in the future and assist flood recovery experts in formulating a restoration plan.
Move Goods To A Safe Place
Where possible move personal belongings and furniture to another location to avoid damage. Remove wet rugs from carpets as colours may run and stain the carpet below. Blocks under furniture legs will help keep furniture off wet flooring. Pinning up furniture skirts and draperies is also a practical way to avoid dye and water marks.
Call The Experts
Most importantly, contact a knowledgeable and trustworthy flood restoration specialist. This is because procrastination can only lead to worse problems and a greater amount of damage and expense in the future. The longer any kind of moisture damage is left untreated, the more extensive the harm will eventually be to both the structure and its inhabitants.
