Flood & Water Damage Restoration
Rapid water extraction, moisture assessment and structural drying to help prevent secondary damage and restore affected properties.
From burst pipes and leaking roofs to stormwater and flooding, SaveourHome provides professional water damage restoration across South East Queensland.
Water can travel beneath flooring, behind walls, into cabinetry and through building materials long after visible surface water has been removed.
Without appropriate assessment and drying, trapped moisture can contribute to material deterioration, odours, microbial growth and mould development.
Our approach is not simply to remove visible water. We assess the extent of moisture intrusion and develop an appropriate restoration and drying strategy for the affected property.

Our Water Damage Services
From extraction through to documented drying, each stage is matched to the water event and the materials affected.
Emergency Water Extraction
Removal of standing or excess water where appropriate.
Moisture Assessment & Mapping
Moisture detection equipment is used to assess affected building materials and help determine the extent of water migration.
Structural Drying
Professional drying equipment including air movers and dehumidification can be installed to promote controlled drying of affected structures.
Affected Material Removal
Where materials cannot be appropriately restored, controlled removal may be undertaken to expose affected areas and facilitate drying.
