24 / 7 Emergency Flood Drying Services

The significant flooding damage is the apparent initial flooding. Then, water runs into the carpets and hard floor when the pipe breaks. The primary injury is the items and surfaces that become wet with the initial flooding.

The secondary flood water damage is when the flooded water starts to wick up the skirting board walls and soaks deep into the subfloor and hard flooring.

The early moments after the flood are some of the most critical. So here are some flood tips.

In any case, please avoid direct contact when floodwater is contaminated with black water. For example, you may need to shut off the water at the main exterior valve. Next, find the source of the leak and shut it off. Then call your local flooded carpet drying service provider or an insurance agent to get an adjuster out immediately.

Likewise, call Steam ‘n’ Dry Flood Drying Auckland Services, who use powerful truck-mounted systems to extract water as quickly as possible. If needed, they can lift the carpet for thorough drying or use a surface drying method to remove moisture from beneath the carpet cushion.

At any rate, if a camera is handy, you should take lots of pictures of the flood water damage before they begin the Flood Restoration Auckland Services. Otherwise, have Steam n Dry Flood Restoration Auckland Services take photos of the flooded wet carpet as an independent professional in case of a dispute before the carpet drying service. Please remove all furniture and coloured rugs from the flooded areas immediately. Many blocks of wood and metal furniture feet may suffer water damage and create permanent carpet stains. Could you remove all smaller items affected?

Secondary Flood Damage

The secondary damage is the flood water that occurs in the days and weeks. After the emergency extraction, much moisture will likely remain in and on the walls, floors, and other items. Water can wick a metre high up the walls. This will cause extensive mould contamination, which can cause irreparable damage. We strongly recommend removing furniture from the wet carpets if the relative humidity is high. We can give you the Rh reading with a moisture meter.

Our team of flood specialists will perforate your walls and hardwood floors as necessary with your permission. The vent holes allow moisture to escape. We measure moisture in various surfaces using a non-penetrating moisture detection tool. The baseboards, wood floors, and other wood surfaces will also begin to absorb the water, which will cause the wood to bend. Picture frames will split at the joints, and baseboards and quarter-round moulding will pull away from the walls. Wood floors will begin to cup. Eventually, all surfaces trapping moisture will grow mould and mildew if the temperature is warm enough. Moisture residue will also create a sour smell throughout the room.

Flood Drying

These problems are ample drying equipment, a safe temperature, and chemicals. First, you’ll need air handlers to circulate the air. Dehumidifiers are designed to dry out the air. Set the RH for about 27. Apply an antimicrobial application to prevent mould growth or mildew smell and kill bacteria, germs, and viruses. Our expert technicians will determine the drying equipment and chemicals needed after the emergency extraction. Available in West Auckland, North Shore, Hibiscus Coast, Eastern Bays and South Auckland. Could you faithfully monitor the drying process until all surfaces and cavities are safe?

Moisture Dried

Of course, Steam ‘n’ Dry Flood Auckland Services can restore your various flooring surfaces once the drying process is over. Many customers who do not use our service for emergency flood extraction will contact us later. This is for carpet drying and sub-flooring surfaces because we specialise in repairs.

Vinyl may or may not require replacing, depending on whether mildew develops under the wear layer. Damp basements need a longer drying time. Ceramic tiles are usually unaffected.
