Wallsend wet carpet drying

When Newcastle floods, it floods hard

This region cops its fair share of wild weather. Hunter River floods. Sudden east-coast lows. King tides and storm surges around the port. Newcastle isn’t immune — and neither are its homes and businesses.

According to NSW SES, over 1,200 flood-related call-outs were recorded in the Hunter region during the 2022–23 storm season alone. That’s not just a freak summer. That’s a pattern.

Water damage doesn’t just stop at the carpet. It seeps through floorboards, soaks into walls, and kicks off mould fast — especially with our coastal humidity. Leave it too long, and you’ll be dealing with warped timbers, soft plaster, and insurance nightmares.

That’s why we act quickly and do it right the first time.

We’re seeing more frequent localised flash flooding caused by blocked drains, backflow from overwhelmed sewer systems, and even gutters that can’t keep up during those intense five-minute deluges. Doesn’t matter if you’re in a modern duplex in Merewether or a weatherboard cottage in Maitland—when water gets in, the damage doesn’t discriminate.

What we do

We provide end-to-end water damage restoration, including:

Our drying setups are tailored to the property. Timber floor over slab? We’ll use floor mats with suction plates. Carpet over foam underlay? We’ll lift and dry both layers properly, then re-lay if salvageable. No guesswork. Just careful moisture control and daily readings.

Why choose us?

We’ve been doing this for over a decade and know Newcastle like the back of our hand.

We also speak plain English. We’ll tell you what’s wet, what’s not, and what your options are. And we’ll keep you updated throughout, so you’re not left wondering what’s going on or when we’ll be back.

Case study: Burst pipe in Wallsend

A couple in Wallsend returned home after a weekend away to find their laundry tap had burst and water had flowed through half the house. Carpet in the hallway and both bedrooms was completely saturated.

We were on-site within 45 minutes. Using commercial wet vacs, we extracted standing water, then installed dehumidifiers and four low-profile air movers across the worst-hit areas. We lifted the carpet edges, treated the underlay, and began daily moisture tracking.

Within three days, all readings were back to safe levels. No mould, no rot — just a dry, clean house.

“They got here quicker than we expected and explained everything clearly. They even helped with the insurer’s paperwork.”
