Safety First: Before attempting any restoration, we ensure that it is safe to enter the flooded area and turn off the power if there is any risk of electrical hazards.
Identify the Source of Water:
Clean Water Source (Category 1):This is water from a clean source such as a burst pipe or faucet. It's the least harmful type of water damage.
Grey Water (Category 2):This water is mildly contaminated and may come from appliances like dishwashers or washing machines.
Black Water (Category 3):This water is highly contaminated, often from sewage backup or flooding. It poses health risks and should be handled by professionals.
Act Quickly: The faster you respond, the better your chances of saving the carpet. Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours, so immediate action is crucial.
Remove Standing Water: Use a wet/dry vacuum or a pump to remove as much water as possible. Towels or rags can also be used to blot up excess water.
Assess the Damage: Determine if the carpet padding and subfloor are wet. If they are, they may also need attention.
Extract Water from Carpet: Use a carpet cleaner with a water extraction function, or rent a professional-grade carpet cleaner, to extract water from the carpet fibers. Continue until the carpet feels relatively dry.
Disinfect and Sanitize: Depending on the source of the water, you may need to disinfect and sanitize the carpet to prevent mold and bacterial growth. For Category 2 or 3 water damage, professional cleaning may be necessary.
Dry Thoroughly: Ensure the area is well-ventilated and use fans and dehumidifiers to speed up the drying process. You may need to lift the carpet and dry both sides. Check the subfloor for moisture as well.
Consider Professional Help: In cases of extensive or Category 3 water damage, it's advisable to contact professionals who specialize in water damage restoration and carpet cleaning. Shire Cleaning & Restoration have the equipment and expertise to handle severe damage safely.
Note that not all carpets can be salvaged, especially if the water damage is extensive, or if the water source was highly contaminated. Additionally, certain types of carpet, such as those with a foam or rubber backing, are more challenging to dry and may need to be replaced. Always prioritize safety and consider consulting with professionals if you're unsure about the extent of the damage or the best course of action.
We had a disaster in our home when a pipe burst. By the time I arrived home there was an inch of water throughout most of my rooms. I would like to thank Tony and the team at Shire Cleaning & Restoration for their professionalism and efficiency when helping me. They made a very difficult situation relatively stress free and they even helped me with my insurance claim
I recently had a drain back up and had sewerage back up and into my hallway. I didn’t know where to start so I called Shire Cleaning & Restoration. They arrived within 3 hours and began the horrible task of the clean up. Thanks guys for performing such a great job in a tough situation.
I would like to thank the team at Shire Cleaning & Restoration for all their help during the recent storms in Sydney. The storm had sent a torrent of water gushing through my lounge room. The guys arrived promptly and saved me from further damage by removing my furniture etc. I found the team to be polite and courteous, but most of all thoroughly professional in all aspects of the job. test
