Flood restoration guide FAQs
What should I do first after water damages my carpet or home?
Make the area safe, stop the water source if it is safe to do so, keep clear of electrical hazards and arrange an assessment. Prompt extraction and controlled drying can reduce secondary damage.
Can a wet carpet be saved after a leak?
Sometimes. It depends on the water source, how long it remained wet, whether the underlay and subfloor are affected, and whether the carpet can be cleaned and dried safely.
When should a ceiling leak be treated as urgent?
Treat a ceiling leak as urgent when there is active dripping, bulging or sagging linings, staining near electrical fittings, or any concern about the source of water.
