Got Questions?
Water Damage Questions Answered
Here are some things people ask when dealing with a leak, wet floor or flood at home.
Call us on 0433 420 900. Tell us which part of Malvern you're in, where the water came from and which rooms are wet. We'll check when our team is available and talk you through the next step.
If you can do so safely, turn off the water supply. Keep children and pets away from wet rooms. Don't touch power points, switches or appliances near the water. Take photos if it's safe, then call for help. If the floor or ceiling looks unsafe, stay clear.
Sometimes, yes. It depends on how much water got in, how long the floor has been wet and whether the water was clean or dirty. We check the damage before recommending drying or replacement.
It's better to stay away from sewage water. It may contain germs that can make people sick. Keep children and pets out of the area. Don't use a household vacuum or try to clean a large sewage spill yourself. Special cleaning and removal work may be needed.
We can discuss which job photos and records are available. Keep your own photos and the date the damage happened. It's also best to call your insurer early, as they may need to approve some work. What is covered depends on your policy.
There may still be water under the carpet, behind a wall or inside another part of the room. Covering the smell with spray won't fix that. The wet area needs to be found and dried. If mould is growing, it may also need cleaning.
It depends on the damage. Removing standing water may be quick, but drying carpets, walls and floors can take several days or longer. We'll have a better idea after checking which areas are wet.
We take enquiries from Malvern, Malvern East, Armadale, Toorak, Caulfield North, Glen Iris, Kooyong, Prahran, Windsor and Hawksburn. Call us to check availability for your address.
Yes, a licensed plumber should fix the broken pipe. Our work deals with the water left behind after the leak, including water removal, cleaning and drying. If you're unsure whether the pipe is still leaking, have it checked before drying begins.

Helpful Water Damage Guide
What to Know About Water Damage in Malvern
Had a leak or flood at home? This guide explains what to check, what can stay wet and when to ask for help.
You come home and find water on the floor. Maybe a pipe has burst, or the washing machine has leaked. You clean up what you can, but you're not sure if the floor is dry underneath. This is a common worry after water damage.
Water damage restoration in Malvern isn't only about getting rid of the puddles. Water can reach carpet underlay, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards and the lower part of a wall. These areas can stay wet after the surface looks dry.
Need help with a leak or flood? Call 0433 420 900 and tell us which rooms are wet.
Where Can Water Hide After a Leak?
Water often spreads further than people expect. A leak in the kitchen may reach the hallway. Water from a bathroom can run under a wall and wet the carpet in the next room.
Check for damp carpet edges, swollen skirting boards, dark marks on walls and floors that feel uneven. A damp smell can also be a sign that water is still there.
Don't assume a room is dry just because you can't see any water. If the floor feels soft or a ceiling is starting to sag, keep clear of the area and get it checked.
Different Leaks Need Different Cleanup Work
Burst Pipes and Washing Machine Leaks
A broken pipe or washing machine hose can let a lot of water out in a short time. If it's safe, turn off the water supply. A licensed plumber should fix the leak. After that, water removal and drying may be needed for the wet rooms.
Rain Coming Through the Roof
Malvern has many homes with tiled roofs, upstairs rooms and wooden floors. If rain gets through the roof, it can leave marks on the ceiling or wet the walls below. The roof needs fixing, and any wet areas inside need checking and drying.
Toilet or Sewer Overflows
Sewage water can carry germs. Keep children and pets away, and don't walk through the water. A plumber may need to clear the blockage. The affected room may also need sewage cleanup, with some damaged items removed.
How Water Removal and Drying Equipment Helps
Water pumps: help remove large amounts of water from flooded rooms.
Water vacuums: pull water from suitable floors and carpets.
Moisture meters: help find wet areas and check if they're drying.
Drying fans: move air across wet surfaces to help them dry.
Dehumidifiers: take extra moisture out of the air while drying work is being done.
Floor drying equipment: may help remove water under some wooden or hard floors.
Air filters: can help remove dust and small particles during certain cleaning jobs.
Wet Carpets and Wooden Floors in Malvern
Many Malvern homes have carpeted bedrooms and wooden floors in living areas. When water gets into these floors, it doesn't always dry on its own. Carpet underlay can hold water, while wooden boards may swell or bend.
A carpet soaked with clean water may be saved if the problem is dealt with early. Wooden floors can sometimes be dried too. But the type of floor, how long it has been wet and how much damage it has suffered all matter.
If you're unsure whether a floor can be saved, ask for a check before pulling it up. You can also read about wet carpet cleaning and wood floor drying.
Water Damage in Flats, Units and Shops
Water damage can be harder to deal with when you're in a unit or apartment. A leak from an upstairs bathroom may reach the ceiling below. Water from one room can also spread into a neighbour's property.
If you rent, tell your property manager or landlord as soon as possible. If you live in an apartment building, the owners corporation or building manager may need to know too.
Shops and offices may need special care if water has reached power points, furniture or work equipment. The first step is to make the area safe, then check which parts need drying.
Before You Book Water Damage Restoration
Ask what work is included in the quote. For example, will the job cover water removal, carpet drying or checking the floor underneath? Will someone come back to check the drying progress?
Ask about the cost before work begins. Some jobs may need extra drying or repairs once more damage is found. It's best to understand what is included and what may cost extra.
We offer a 100% service guarantee on agreed work. Ask us to explain the terms when booking. A service guarantee does not mean every damaged carpet, wall or floor can be saved.
What to Keep for an Insurance Claim
Take photos of the water damage if you can do so safely. Keep a note of when you found the leak, which rooms got wet and anything that was damaged.
Contact your insurance company early. They may want photos, a plumber's report or details of the cleanup work. Some insurers ask you to get approval before certain repairs begin.
It's worth checking your policy so you know what may be covered. You can also ask us which job records are available after the work.
What to Tell Us When You Call
You don't need to know exactly how bad the damage is. Just tell us what happened. Was it a pipe, washing machine, roof leak or storm? Is water still coming in? Which rooms are wet?
Let us know if there's standing water, a wet carpet, swollen wooden floorboards or a damp ceiling. If the water came from a toilet or sewer, mention that as well.
