Flood Fixers Adelaide hits the road to assist with regional water damage restoration
Regional water restoration Services.
Flood Fixers Adelaide not only provides professional water damage restoration Adelaide wide, but we also service the regional areas of South Australia. As a trusted panel member for major Insurance companies, we often receive requests to assist customers in the regional areas of South Australia with water damage repair and restoration services and also for damaged content claims. This can sometimes be for just one job, or it can often be a situation where the regional area has been hit by a storm or experienced localised flooding. Our team will be called to attend these areas to help with our flood clean-up and water damage repair services.
Our most recent trip included 2 jobs, the first job was a water damage assessment for both property and content items in Roxby Downs that had been water damaged by a localised storm that hit this regional area. The other job was for immediate water damage and mould remediation for a residential property in Whyalla that had experienced water damage and flooding due to a burst flexi hose fitting located underneath the kitchen vanity.
Job 1 – Roxby Downs water damage assessment.
Our team made the journey from Adelaide to Roxby Downs to assist our client with a thorough water damage property assessment and to inspect and assess water damage to our customers content items. The Flood Fixers team was onsite at this property for approximately 2 hours to conduct a full assessment and to assist our customer with his water damage Insurance claim. Once this was completed our team began the journey from Roxby Downs to Whyalla to assist our next client with their water damage restoration
Job 2 – Whyalla water damage restoration.
Our team arrived in Whyalla late in the afternoon and despite an already extremely long day they still managed to provide an initial water damage assessment and make safe services that same day and then went on to provide the following restoration services that day.
Day 1- Whyalla
- Conducted a full and thorough water damage assessment.
- Conducted thermal imaging and took extensive moisture readings.
- Applied specialised anti-microbial treatments to retard mould growth.
- Installed 4 dehumidifiers to begin reducing the moisture levels within the property immediately.
- Installed 4 Hepa filtered air scrubbers to account for any potential air borne mould.
- Returned to a local motel for an overnight stay.
Day 2 – Whyalla
After a good night’s rest at a local motel in Whyalla our team returned to our customers house to continue the required water damage restoration works. This house had been heavily impacted by water damage and had been in a wet state for a while; therefore, we were racing against potential mould growth due to the raised moisture conditions within the property.
- Returned to site early morning
- Pulled up and removed non restorable floating floors
- Pulled up and removed non restorable vinyl flooring
- Removed kitchen kickers to gain access underneath kitchen cabinetry for structural drying
- Hepa vacuumed all affected areas
- Applied additional anti-microbial treatments and cleaned all affected areas
- Installed additional drying equipment for structural drying
- Removed all building waste materials from site and took for disposal
- Left remediation equipment running onsite and returned to Adelaide
At this stage it appears that our team got to this property just in time to prevent any serious mould infestations. Luckily Whyalla generally has a warm, dry climate which is not susceptible to mould growth like some humid coastal areas.
Final day – Whyalla
Weather conditions for this job had been favorable, with the hot, dry air outside making the drying process more effective and mould infestations less likely. The faster we can remove the moisture and heat up the property the faster the structure will dry.
By venting the wet air outside and introducing clean, dry air into the house from outside we will also be diluting any mould and mould spores that may be inside the property. This is a great way to remediate and also prevent any mould growth during the drying process.
- Returned to site 4 days later (equipment has been running onsite)
- Took thorough moisture readings
- Conducted thermal imaging
- Packed up and removed all remediation equipment
- Applied further anti-microbial treatments and provided a final clean
- Returned to Adelaide
After 4 days of structural water damage drying the moisture levels within this water affected property were now back to normal with no signs of any mould growth, this will ensure that there will be no future structural or bacterial issues within the property due to this water damage event.
Water damage restoration conclusion.
The Whyalla region is well known for its’ hot, dry weather conditions and during this water damage restoration project the weather was particularly hot which has made the restoration and remediation process a lot easier and much faster.
Whilst some subsequent building repairs will be required due to this extensive water damage event, the overall water damage restoration process was very successful. The house structure has been completely dried and remediated and there is no evidence of mould growth due to this event.
The required building repairs and new flooring will be covered under our customers water damage Insurance policy; therefore, our valued customer will not have any out-of-pocket expenses for either our remediation services or for the building repairs and replacement of the flooring.
Our valued customer was extremely happy with our teams dedicated efforts to save her home from water damage structural issues and from any mould infestations. As a result of our expert team’s good work, our customer gave Flood Fixers Adelaide a wonderful 5-star review which we greatly appreciated.
