    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: What should I do immediately if my carpet floods?

    A: Act as quickly as possible, the longer water sits in carpet, the more damage it causes. Turn off the water source if possible, remove furniture from wet areas to prevent staining, and call us immediately. Speed is critical: water that sits for more than 24–48 hours significantly increases the risk of mould, subfloor damage, and carpet deterioration. We offer a swift callout service across Auckland.

    Q: Can flooded carpet be saved, or does it need to be replaced?

    A: In many cases, carpet can be saved if the response is fast enough. Whether it can be restored depends on the source of the water (clean water vs. contaminated water), how long it has been wet, and the carpet type. Clean water flooding from a burst pipe, for example, has a much better restoration success rate than sewage or stormwater flooding. We’ll assess the situation and give you an honest recommendation.

    Q: How does the flood restoration process work?

    A: Our flood restoration process covers: rapid water extraction using industrial-grade equipment; drying with air movers and dehumidifiers; subfloor assessment and treatment; sanitisation of the carpet and underlay; and relay of the carpet once everything is properly dried and treated. We document the process thoroughly, which is useful for insurance claims.

    Q: How long does it take to dry carpet after flooding?

    A: With professional drying equipment, most carpet and subfloor areas are dried within 2–5 days, depending on the severity of the flooding, carpet type, and subfloor material. We monitor moisture levels throughout to confirm drying is complete before relaying. Drying times are significantly faster than without professional equipment, leaving wet carpet to ‘air dry’ on its own risks mould growth and permanent damage.

    Q: Do you work with insurance companies for carpet flood claims?

    A: Yes, we regularly work alongside insurance reinstatement firms and can provide documentation, moisture readings, and reports to support your insurance claim. Many of our flood restoration clients have their work covered by their home or contents insurance. We’re experienced in the process and can advise on next steps.

    Q: What happens if mould develops in the carpet after flooding?

    A: Mould can begin growing within 24–48 hours of water damage in warm, humid conditions. If mould is present, we treat it with specialist anti-microbial products as part of the restoration process. In severe cases where mould has penetrated deeply into the carpet backing or underlay, replacement may be recommended. We’ll advise honestly based on what we find.
