No matter how big the flood or what type of building, when it comes to water damage, time is of the essence, The quicker the water is extracted, the less damage there will be, with the possible exception of basements or excavated garages.

Before entering a flooded basement or excavated garage;
1.Turn off the electricity, preferably at the meter. Don't risk electrocution!
2.Check outside walls for possible cave-ins, evidence of structural damage or other hazards.
3.Turn off gas or fuel service valves.
4.Open doors and windows or use blowers to force fresh air into the basement.

Pumping a flooded basement

For safety reasons, do not use an electric pump powered by your own electrical system. Instead, use a petrol-powered pump, or one connected to an outside line. The State Emergency might help with pumping.

More damage may be done by pumping flooded basements too soon or too quickly. Water in the basement helps brace the walls against the extra pressure of water-logged soil outside. If water is pumped out too soon, walls may be pushed in or floors pushed up.

To help prevent this kind of structural damage:
Remove about a third of the water each day. Watch for signs of structural failing.

If the outside water level rises again after the day's pumping, start at the new water line.

Don't rush the pumping; the soil may be very slow to drain. Whatever is submerged in the basement will not be damaged further by delaying the pumping.

Water Removal/Extraction

Whether it's a flood, leak or burst pipe, water damages can't wait until morning. The longer water sits on your carpet and upholstery, the larger the danger to your health.

KCJ Propertyrestorations team of trained experts will be ready 24/7, with top of the line equipment to extract water from your carpeting and upholstery, and special drying agents to ensure complete water removal.

After your water emergency has been contained, KCJ Propertyrestorations technicians will sanitize the area to avoid risk of further contamination due to leftover moisture. Improper water clean-up, without sanitization, can lead to mould infestations and health risks.

Standing water is a big health risk, and flood waters are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. Flood waters contain viruses, mould and bacteria that can easily become airborne. When combined with the sewage and toxins found in flood waters you have a dangerous combination.

Even after flood waters recede, the residue left behind contains the same bacteria, viruses, moulds and other contaminants. This sludge poses a serious threat, but cleaning it up without the proper precautions can cause lung disease and infection from inhaled particles.

Don't put your health at risk by cleaning dangerous particles from your home and carpet, call the professionals. Take advantage of the state of the art equipment and high safety standards of KCJ Propertyrestorations of Brisbane to ensure that you and your family will be safe from the dangers of water damage.

Small Leak, Big Trouble!
Water emergencies are more than flooded basements and burst pipes. Even the smallest leak can cause major damage in your home. Small leaks are the largest cause of mildew and mould in your home, which can lead to severe breathing problems in adults and children.

Content Inventory and Packout

In severe cases of water damage, your contents may have to be packed up and moved to another location for cleaning and storage. This allows your property to be restored more easily without further damage to the contents.

With our contents pack-out service, we will inventory the contents in your home and then carefully package and move your belongings to our safe warehouse facility. Your furnishings will undergo a thorough cleaning and deodorization process.
After your contents are cleaned and restored, they will be stored until your property repairs are complete or until you have made other housing arrangements.
Smoke odour can be difficult to remove due to its penetration and absorption into building materials. KCJ Property Restorations staff have the knowledge, products and equipment to permanently remove these stubborn odours. We stand behind all of our work and products.
