What I’ve Learned After 20+ Years Helping Melbourne Homes Recover from Water Damage
Sometimes people ask, “How did you get into water damage restoration?”
The truth? We didn’t plan it, life threw us into it.
More than 2 decades ago, our own family home in Melbourne flooded. We were overwhelmed, panicked, and worse couldn’t find help. That experience shaped us.
So we started Water Damage Restoration Melbourne, with one goal: make sure no other homeowner feels helpless during water or flood damage and we response within an hour for emergency. We are now one of the leading Melbourne's water damage restoration company that people can trust on.
Here’s what we’ve learned after 20+ years on the job:
✔Just because it feels dry doesn’t mean it’s dry. Moisture hides behind walls, under floors, inside cabinets and mould loves that.
✔ Your aircon and ductwork can spread mould spores. Most people forget to check this, but we always do.
✔ Trust your nose. That musty smell? It’s often the first sign of hidden damage.
✔ Take photos of everything. Insurance claims go smoother when you can prove every detail.
✔ Fix the root cause. After cleanup, improve drainage, repair roofs, clean gutters, because preventing the next flood is the smartest thing you can do.
