What shall I do if my building is flooded?

A flooded home or workplace can feel impossible to deal with. From water extraction and reducing the risks that contaminated water can bring to the build up of mould and water damage, it can feel daunting to even know where to start. But at Kleen Tech, we take away of the stress, leaving you time to concentrate on more important matters. Our flood restoration service will bring your home or office to as close to pre-water damage condition as possible, meaning that you don’t have to deal with the hassle of arranging one job after the next – we will manage the job from start to finish, minimising downtime, disruption and costs.

What to do when your house floods?

First, ensure your safety by checking for electrical hazards and structural damage. Then, call Kleen-Tech immediately for inspection and to start restoration to minimize damage. Remove items from wet areas to aid water extraction and prevent mould. You can assist by removing water with buckets or towels before Kleen-Tech arrives. We will then complete the drying, provide documentation, and handle the remaining restoration, including flooring and insurance claims assistance.

Sewage Cleanup Mulgrave

Sewage cleanup can pose a significant challenge for homeowners and businesses. Let us handle the mess for you!

Understanding sewage cleanup

Sewage Cleanup Mulgrave is important when sewage damage occurs due to various causes. These may include heavy rainfall overwhelming drainage systems, plumbing or sewer line blockages, damaged pipes, or faulty fixtures such as toilets.

Furthermore, these situations often carry a high risk of contaminants. Immediate cleanup and mitigation are therefore essential to help prevent further damage to your Mulgrave property.

The sewage cleanup process

1.⁠ ⁠Seek professional help

Due to the high risk of contamination in affected areas, professional remediation and cleanup are strongly recommended. Kleen-Tech offers expert sewage cleanup services in Mulgrave, adhering to the best practices set by the IICRC.

2.⁠ ⁠Prioritise safety

Given the presence of harmful contaminants, bacteria, and pathogens, safety is of utmost importance during sewage cleanup. Reducing exposure should be the top priority, and ensuring proper PPE, such as non-porous coveralls, boots, gloves, and masks, is essential for anyone entering the affected space.

3.⁠ ⁠Contain the area

Minimise initial damage by containing the affected zones. This might involve fixing plumbing issues or diverting sewage overflow away from unaffected areas.

4.⁠ ⁠Removal of contaminants

Eliminate standing water and bulk contaminants as a first step. Use double bags for non-salvageable items to ensure safe disposal. Kleen-Tech can remove these materials off-site for proper disposal.

5.⁠ ⁠Santise affected areas

A multi-step process should be used to thoroughly sanitise the space. Start with anti-bacterial and steam treatments. Follow up with detailed cleaning and disinfecting methods to restore cleanliness in your Mulgrave property.

6.⁠ ⁠Installation of mitigation drying equipment

Set up air movers and dehumidifiers to reduce the risk of secondary damage like mould formation. These devices should run for a few days, with moisture testing conducted to ensure the property is completely dry.

7.⁠ ⁠Second and further sanitising treatments

Kleen-Tech ensures a comprehensive approach by performing multiple sanitising treatments to eliminate any remaining contaminants from your Mulgrave property.

8. Assessment

After initial remediation, prepare a report outlining necessary follow-up actions, such as repairs and further investigations. This will aid in processing insurance claims and guide any future work needed.
