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

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.

Upfront payment ensures we can immediately deploy the right resources, equipment, and expertise to your property. This allows us to provide rapid response without delays in procurement or staffing.
Are these fees covered by insurance?
Most insurance policies cover professional restoration services. We provide detailed documentation and work directly with insurers to help maximise your claim approval.
What if additional work is needed?
Any additional costs will be communicated upfront before work commences. We provide detailed quotes and never proceed without your approval.
