Water damage is a common problem that affects homes and businesses alike. There are several factors that can contribute to water damage, including:
Water damage can be difficult to spot, especially if it is hidden behind walls or under flooring. However, there are several signs to look out for that may indicate water damage:
If you find water damage in your home or business, make sure you act quickly to prevent further damage. Turn off the water source if possible and remove standing water with towels, then contact a professional to conduct repairs immediately. Once the source of the water has been halted, seek out a restoration specialist to repair the damage and prevent it spreading. The specialist should be able to assess the extent of the damage, recommend and carry out any necessary restoration work, such as drying out affected areas and dehumidifying. They may also need to use specialised products and techniques to address mould or mildew.
Water damage can lead to rot and mould growth, which can spread and cause health problems and also result in structural damage to your property. The longer water damage is left unaddressed, the more difficult and expensive it will be to restore. That's why it's crucial to act quickly and get professional help as soon as possible.
With quick action and professional help, water damage doesn't have to be a major disaster.

Water damage restoration is a multi-step process aimed at restoring properties impacted by excessive water exposure or flooding. It’s far more complex than simply drying out your space. Trained professionals start by conducting a thorough assessment of the damage, categorising it based on its severity and the type of water involved. The next step typically involves removing standing water.
High-grade equipment is used to thoroughly dry out the property. Once everything is dry, sanitisation and cleaning are performed to eliminate any mould or bacteria. Finally, the property undergoes necessary repairs, which can range from replacing sections of drywall to more extensive structural fixes.
Within the first few hours, water can seep into structural cavities, creating hidden pockets of saturation. This can compromise the structural integrity of a building and result in foul odours. Additionally, moisture promotes the growth of mould and bacteria, which could lead to serious health issues for the occupants. Furthermore, water damage can substantially reduce your property's worth and make it difficult to sell in the future. By acting promptly and restoring the property, you preserve its value while also maintaining a healthy living environment.

Restoration time frames depend on the severity of the damage. A simple case involving a single room might be resolved within a couple of days. On the other hand, if multiple rooms are affected and structural repairs are needed, the process could stretch over several weeks. Regardless, our focus is always on providing a thorough and efficient restoration, ensuring your safety and satisfaction.
Water damage is categorised into three types based on the water's source and contamination level. Clean water from broken pipes or rainwater is considered Category 1 and poses the least risk. Category 2 involves greywater from sources like washing machines or dishwashers, which may contain some contaminants. Category 3, or black water, is heavily contaminated water from sewage backups or flooding and requires special handling. Treatment varies depending on the category, affecting both the restoration process and safety protocols.
Yes, water damage can lead to electrical issues. When water comes into contact with electrical systems, it can cause short circuits and increase the risk of electrical fires. If you suspect that water has infiltrated your electrical system, it’s imperative to turn off the power immediately and consult professionals.
