Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our services in Adelaide

How quickly can you respond to flooding in Norwood?
Our emergency flood response network provides 60-minute arrival across Norwood and surrounding Adelaide suburbs. Initial services include water extraction using truck-mounted pumps, content salvage, and industrial drying equipment deployment. We operate 24/7 including during active flood events when safe to do so.
What is the flood recovery process in Norwood?
Professional flood recovery follows 5 stages: emergency water extraction, contamination assessment and antimicrobial treatment, structural drying with commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, damage assessment and scope of works, and rebuild or restoration. Category 3 floodwater (sewage-contaminated) requires additional decontamination protocols.
Does insurance cover flood damage in Norwood?
Flood cover is often a separate add-on to home insurance policies in Australia. Check your Product Disclosure Statement for coverage details. We bill you directly so emergency extraction begins immediately — no waiting for insurer approval. Our contractors provide complete claims documentation including contamination reports, moisture logs, and photographic evidence.
How long does it take to dry a flood-damaged property in Norwood?
Flood-affected properties typically take 5 to 10 days for structural drying depending on water volume, contamination level, and building materials. Commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers run continuously. Technicians take daily moisture readings and adjust equipment placement until the structure reaches its dry standard.
Is flood water contaminated and dangerous in Norwood?
Floodwater is almost always classified as Category 3 (grossly contaminated) containing sewage, chemicals, and biological hazards. Never wade through floodwater without protective equipment. Professional flood recovery includes antimicrobial treatment, decontamination, and air quality testing to ensure the property is safe for re-occupation.
Are your Norwood flood recovery contractors certified?
All contractors hold IICRC Water Restoration Technician (WRT) certification with additional flood-specific training. They carry minimum $20 million public liability insurance and follow IICRC S500 and S540 standards. Equipment includes truck-mounted extractors, commercial dehumidifiers, and contamination testing gear.
