The Real Cost of Flood & Water Damage in Queensland

It's not just about restoration fees - understand the true hidden costs that can devastate your property and business

Hidden Costs Alert

The Hidden Costs You Don't See Coming

Downtime Costs

Every day waiting for a tradesperson costs you money. While you wait for unqualified or overbooked contractors, damage spreads, mould grows, and costs multiply exponentially. Professional response saves thousands in extended downtime.

Rebuild vs Restore Costs

Improper restoration means complete rebuild later. Cutting corners with cheap services often results in hidden damage, requiring full demolition and rebuild at 3-5x the cost of proper restoration. Do it right the first time.

Loss of Business Income

A closed business loses customers every day. Commercial properties lose $1000s daily while closed. Customers find alternatives, contracts are lost, and some businesses never recover. Quick professional restoration minimises closure time.

Reputation Costs

Extended closures damage your reputation permanently. In today's digital world, a business closed for weeks gets negative reviews, loses social media presence, and competitors take your market share. Some reputations never recover.

Sickness & Health Costs

It's not what you see now - it's the after effects. Mould exposure, contaminated air, and hidden bacteria cause respiratory issues, allergies, and serious illness months later. Medical costs and lost productivity far exceed proper remediation costs.

Our Pricing Philosophy

Our prices are fair and at market averages. Our service and knowledge is not free, nor is your health. When you choose Disaster Recovery, you're investing in:

  • 15+ years of expertise that prevents costly mistakes
  • IICRC certified professionals who protect your health
  • Insurance-approved processes for maximum claim success
  • Prevention of all the hidden costs listed above

Don't Let Hidden Costs Destroy Your Future

The real cost isn't our restoration fee - it's what happens when you wait or choose wrong. Protect your property, business, and health with professional service.
