Our flood recovery process
Our flood recovery service follows a structured process to remove water efficiently and dry affected areas thoroughly.
Identifying and Stopping the Source
If the flooding is caused by something other than weather, the first step is identifying and stopping the source of the leak. This may involve contacting a plumber, and if required we can connect you with trusted plumbers to resolve the issue quickly.
Assessing the Damage
We remove as much furniture as possible to fully assess the affected areas and identify the extent of the flooding.
Water Extraction
Using truck-mounted extraction equipment, we remove excess water from carpets and affected areas as quickly as possible.
Professional Structural Drying
High-quality drying equipment is installed to accelerate the drying process for carpets, underlay, fabrics, and surrounding areas. Once the equipment is in place, we return daily to check moisture levels using professional moisture meters, ensuring the affected materials dry properly. Equipment is only removed once moisture levels return to normal dry parameters.
When carpet or flooring needs to be removed
Depending on the type of water involved and the extent of the damage, some materials may need to be removed to ensure thorough drying. If the flood or leak was the result of clean or grey water, often we can clean and dry and replace in the property.
However if there are sewage-contaminated carpets or severely damaged materials these will require removal and new carpets/flooring installed. When this happens, we work alongside trusted contractors to assist with removal of contaminated carpet and furniture or uplifting of tiles or hardwood floors so we can do the structural drying. If authorised by your insurance company, fittings such as skirting boards may also be removed to allow proper drying.

Sanitising and microbial treatments
Floodwater can introduce bacteria and contaminants into carpets and fabrics. As part of our flood recovery service, we provide professional microbial treatments to sanitise affected areas and help ensure your property is clean and safe once drying is complete.
Insurance claims assistance
Flood damage often involves insurance claims, and we understand how stressful this process can be.
Extreme Carpet Cleaning is licensed to work directly with insurance companies and can assist with the required documentation and reporting. We can also help guide you through the insurance paperwork so the process runs as smoothly as possible.
