Fast Water Damage Restoration for Flooded Carpets

A burst pipe, overflowing bath, leaking shower, washing machine failure or heavy rain can quickly flood your carpets and cause serious damage if not treated promptly. The faster the water is removed, the greater the chance of saving your carpet, underlay and flooring while preventing mould and unpleasant odours.

At Fletchers Carpet Steam Cleaning Melbourne, we provide fast, professional water extraction and drying services to help restore your carpets after water damage. Whether the flooding is minor or extensive, our experienced technicians will assess the affected areas and recommend the most cost-effective solutio

What To Do Before We Arrive

If it is safe to do so:

  • Stop the source of the water if possible.
  • Remove furniture and valuable items from the affected area.
  • Use towels to soak up as much excess water as you can.
  • Avoid walking on the wet carpet any more than necessary.

The sooner you contact us, the better the chances of preventing permanent damage.

Common flood sources we respond to

  • Burst pipes — particularly common in Melbourne winters when older copper pipes split.
  • Washing machine hose failures — silent disasters that often run for hours before discovery.
  • Dishwasher leaks and overflows — slow leaks under the floor that surface as carpet damp.
  • Hot water service failures — typically 100+ litres of water released suddenly.
  • Storm water and rain ingress — through windows, doors and damaged roofs.
  • Toilet and shower overflows — clean-water flows handled the same way as plumbing leaks; sewage backflows require specialist contamination protocols.

Our Water Damage Process

  • When we arrive, we will:

    • Inspect the affected areas and assess the extent of the water damage.
    • Use professional moisture meters to determine how far the water has travelled beneath the carpet.
    • Extract as much water as possible using powerful truck-mounted extraction equipment.
    • Install professional air movers and drying equipment where required to dry the carpet, underlay and flooring.
    • Help minimise the risk of mould, mildew and unpleasant odours.

    We pride ourselves on providing a fast, reliable and affordable alternative to many larger water damage restoration companies.

Anti-microbial treatment to prevent mould

After water extraction, we apply a hospital-grade biocide to the carpet, underlay and subfloor surfaces to prevent bacterial and fungal growth during the drying period. This is the single most important step in stopping that lingering musty smell from ever developing. Without anti-microbial treatment, even properly extracted floods can develop odour problems within weeks.
