South Yarra terrace clean-up

Melbourne's no stranger to floods

We’ve seen the chaos water can cause. The 2022 CBD super-cell storm dumped nearly a month’s worth of rain in a few hours. The Yarra River regularly overflows its banks in Abbotsford and South Yarra. And those charming terrace homes in Fitzroy and Carlton? Many have timber sub-floors and no drainage. One heavy downpour and water starts creeping in under the boards.

It doesn’t take long. A single cracked tile on your roof, or a dodgy flexi-hose under the sink, can drench your carpet and walls before you even notice. And if you don’t act quickly? You’re dealing with mould, rot, and structural headaches.

According to the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA), the 2022–2023 floods impacted 64 of Victoria’s 79 local government areas, making it one of the worst flood disasters on record. And the City of Melbourne is now updating flood maps to account for climate change impacts, including more intense rainfall and rising sea levels—signs this isn’t going away any time soon.

Just last summer, multiple inner-city roads were shut down after flash flooding overwhelmed drains during a late afternoon storm. Residents in Richmond and Southbank had water spilling into underground carparks and lobbies within minutes. For older buildings and high-density areas, even a moderate downpour can trigger costly issues fast.

That’s where we come in.

What we do

We provide complete water damage restoration services, including:

Whether your space is residential or commercial, we customise the approach to suit. Hardwood floors? We use special drying mats. Gyprock walls? We’ll use low-impact cavity drying systems. Carpeted office? We’ll dry and lift where needed and measure moisture daily. It’s not one-size-fits-all. And we won’t leave you guessing about what comes next.

Why choose us in Melbourne?

Because we actually know what we’re doing—and we back it up with proper gear and credentials.

We’ve restored flooded apartments in St Kilda, dealt with sewage backups in Footscray, and saved soaked timber floors in Brighton. No two jobs are the same, but the goal is always: dry it fast, dry it properly.

Case study: Carlton terrace house

After a summer downpour, a family in Carlton noticed a strange smell and squishy floors near their back laundry. They gave us a buzz the same evening. Within the hour, we were on-site with extraction gear.

Thermal imaging showed water pooling beneath the sub-floor. We pumped it out, set up underfloor drying mats, and used dehumidifiers to pull out the hidden moisture. We also treated the area to stop mould before it could take hold.

Our team monitored moisture levels daily and provided a detailed insurance report. Within four days, the house was dry, safe, and ready for floorboard repairs.

"Honestly, we were expecting a disaster, but they had it sorted way quicker than we imagined. Absolute lifesavers."

Areas we cover

Our team covers all of Greater Melbourne. If we can reach you in under 90 minutes, we’ll take the job. We frequently work in:

Live outside these? Give us a ring and we’ll see what we can do.

We’re often called into commercial buildings in Docklands, family homes in Glen Iris, and even older weatherboard homes in Brunswick and Preston. Melbourne’s mix of architecture and drainage quirks keeps us on our toes—but we know how to work with all of it.
