Have peace of mind that you have help and an Allie throughout the water damage drying and remediation process.
Where Does Mould Usually Grow?
Answer: Mould grows in warm, dry, and dark places. It can grow on just about any material. After water damage, mould often develops at the damaged site, behind walls, or on a leaky pipe. However, airborne spores released by decay can travel throughout your home and cause outbreaks in other areas. Mould remediation and dehumidification are necessary after a flood.
Do My Carpets Need To Be Lifted?
Answer: Carpeting with an underlay should be lifted in corners to fit air mover blower, fan dryers under the carpets, and underlay to dry the subflooring, especially behind skirting boards.
The Plumber Asked, Where Is My Crawlspace?
Answer: Your crawlspace is the area beneath your home where contractors access your plumbing and wiring systems. Gravity draws excess water into the crawlspace in case of a leak or flood. Since this area is without sunlight, excess dampness can lead to mould growth.
Therefore, calling a water damage expert from At Steam ‘n’ Dry Flood Restoration Auckland Services is crucial if your crawlspace is wet. Indeed, a fast response is critical in mitigating structural damage and preventing mould growth.
Will The Subflooring And Walls Dry?

What Happens During The Water Damage Restoration Process?
Answer: When our technician arrives at your home, the first step will be to stop the water damage source. Indeed, your technician will inspect the damage, test for mould growth, and create a remediation plan. This plan may involve water extraction, mould remediation, drying, dehumidification, basic cleanup, and structural repairs.
How Long Will It Take To Respond To My Flood?
Flooded carpets, walls, and subflooring need urgent professional help to avoid unhealthy mould growth. Also, mitigate secondary damages.
Why Are Carpet Dryers, Air Movers, And Dehumidifiers Used?
Answer: Water can be absorbed into the drywall, baseboards, and sub-flooring when water damage occurs. Drying these surfaces requires high-velocity air mover carpet, dryer hire, blower fans, and commercial 90-litre per day capacity dehumidifier rental. As a result, it accelerates the release of absorbed water into the air. Indeed, it is necessary to place dehumidifiers to remove excess moisture to help protect property and create conditions for fast, efficient drying.
What Is Covered By Your Insurance?
Major New Zealand insurance companies generally have two basic types of insurance policy coverage. Indeed, building policies cover everything typically secured to your home building, such as your home or building structure, walls, skirting boards, cabinetry, and fixed-down carpets.
Subsequently, content Insurance covers everything not attached to the building, such as furniture and personal belongings.

Will The Water Stain Be Removed?
Answer: Yes, in about 97% of floods, the carpet staining is wholly removed
The Flood Repair Guy Said I Shouldn’t Use My Hands To Test If My Possessions Were Wet. Why Not?
Answer: The main reason is that you don’t get electrocuted in wet areas. Even if an item appears dry, it may be moist enough to conduct a charge and shock you if touched.
Another reason is that feeling something could better indicate how wet or dry it is. About 60 per cent of your body is composed of water, so a touch test may not be valid. Indeed, at Steam ‘n’ Dry Flood Auckland Services, the technicians use moisture meters to determine if an item or area is dry accurately.
Do My Homeowners’ Build Insurance Policy Cover Flooding?
Answer: New Zealand homeowner’s insurance policies do cover flood remediation.
What Should I Do After Finding A Water Leak?
Answer: Even a small water leak can cause significant damage to your home if left unaddressed. If you’ve noticed a leak, take these steps immediately:
- Switch off the water source, typically near your water meter.
- Use towels to contain the water and prevent it from spreading.
- If the water damage is extensive, temporarily deactivate your home’s power by switching off the electricity. In addition, cables and appliances can become volatile when exposed to water, so do not enter a flooded room if it contains electrical devices.
- Move any water-damaged items to a dry place.
- Contact Steam ‘n’ Dry Flood Restoration Auckland Services to schedule a water damage cleanup. Indeed, our team is available 24/7 for emergency cleanup.
Can I Get Personal Property Insurance Policy Coverage As A Renter?
Answer: Yes! You can get content insurance to cover the contents of your home, apartment, or business.
Why The Smelly Odour?
Furthermore, an odour Most building materials absorb some degree of moisture. But when over 18% moisture, those materials begin to erode and release tiny organic compounds into the air.
Moreover, this decay is an ongoing process until the water can escape or dry, which means the smell could linger for quite some time. Likely, the odour indicates that your home needs some structural repair.
How Do I Know My Wall Cavities Are Correctly Dry?
Answer: Our moisture meters and infrared resters read 4 cm into surfaces. Therefore, we can see when it is properly dry. Also, I know where to target the drying equipment.
Can I Use My Dehumidifier?
Answer: Small home dehumidifiers will not get the relative humidity low enough to draw the moisture out of walls, structure, flooring, and carpeting. Thus, it avoids hidden mould growth, such as within jib wall cavities.
How Long Will It Take For My Property To Dry?
Answer: Each material in your home is different. The type of content, the amount of moisture, and the amount of time the content flooded will determine how long it takes to dry. Generally, 3-5 days is a rule of thumb. There are three days for the carpet alone, four days if there’s underlay, and five days if the water has got within the wall framing.
Another critical factor is the tools and techniques used to dry your materials. Indeed, we can mitigate the overall damage at Steam ‘n’ Dry Flood Auckland Services and possibly salvage your belongings using dehumidification and other proven techniques.
Will My Insurance Policy Cover – Water Damage?
Answer: Yes, your policy should cover your flood damage, drying, and repairs, assuming that the cause of the water damage is a covered peril. Of course, some extenuating circumstances may cause your insurance carrier to deny your claim—for instance, if the water damage occurred due to your negligence.
If your home suffered water damage from a recent flood, pipe leak, or another cause, contact Steam ‘n’ Dry Flood Restoration Auckland Services and ask about our water damage restoration services. We can extract the water, repair the damage, and help you file a claim with your insurance company.
Can I Claim Insurance For My Flooded Home?

What Are The Most Common Causes Of Water Damage?
Answer: There are numerous causes of water damage, from torrential rainstorms to pipe leaks. If your home has suffered water damage, you must identify the root cause of the problem to prevent similar issues from arising in the future. It’s essential to schedule a visit from a water damage cleanup expert with the knowledge and tools to identify and fix the problem immediately.
How Might A Flood Damage My Home?
Answer: Repairing your home after a flood is more complicated than it might seem. If the water damage is extensive, your property may need comprehensive foundation, framing, walls, and floor repairs.
Mould growth can also damage your home after a flood. Indeed, mould flourishes in moist areas, so it’s a primary concern after water damage. Of course, our Steam n Dry Flood Auckland Services team can assist with water damage cleanup, dehumidification, and mould remediation. We can also help with restoring water-damaged possessions.
Will My Carpets Dry By Themselves?
Answer: No, carpets will not dry when placed on a flat surface with underlay. To expedite proper drying, specialised equipment such as an air mover blower fan carpet dryer, like the one I recently installed, is necessary. This ensures that moisture is effectively removed, preventing any potential mould growth.
Is Dehumidification Necessary?
Answer: Yes. Most people associate water damage with severe floods and pipe leaks, but excess moisture in the air can be just as destructive as pooled water. Indeed, humid air can damage your home’s walls, floors, furniture, and other structural components. Dehumidification effectively reduces air moisture, thus mitigating damage to your home and preventing subsequent mould growth.
We ensure that you won’t encounter any future health issues caused by long-term mould, mildew, or odour problems. Once the drying process for the walls, structure, and carpet is complete, we conduct moisture tests. Our drying process adheres to Auckland Council guidelines, guaranteeing the maintenance of a dry and healthy environment.
