Flood Damage Restoration

Roofing

The cause of roof leaks can vary, ageing is the most common cause. Homes with old and ageing roofs can deteriorate resulting in an unnoticeable and unwanted leak.

Storms and wet weather conditions can cause roof tiles, caps, and flashings to become loose, crack and break. Poor ventilation creating condensation can also contribute to a roof leak.

Our professional technicians can resolve your leaking roof. If your roof is constructed from tiles, metal surface or other roofing materials you can trust the team at NZRS to solve your leaking roof problem.

Burst Pipes

Whilst flooding in the home is often due to unresolved clogs in pipes, burst water cylinders, backed-up sewage pipes and heavy rainfall, the most common cause of flooding is a leak or burst water pipe.

Old age, freezing temperatures and other faults can cause fractures and ruptures to form in water pipes, valves, and other water connections. If a water pipe bursts you may encounter water rising on flooring or flowing down your ceilings and walls in just a few minutes.

When you are dealing with an indoor flood it is most important to take quick, decisive action to mitigate further damage.

If a water pipe has burst and water is leaking inside or outside your house, then find the water main and turn the water off at the main before taking any further action. This will stop any further water flowing though the pipes.

As there will be water in your home it is essential to contact a water and flood restoration company to assist with extracting water and to identify and mitigate further water damage. NZRS act quickly to salvage and restore your flooded property. We carry an IICRC licence.

Storm Damage

Storms can wreak havoc with minimal warning, often causing damage to homes and buildings. During and after the storm, flooding can occur due to the heavy rainfall, tidal surges, and damage caused by wind.

If your property has been damaged by a storm and you notice water where it should not be, it is recommended to contact water remediation professionals to assess and restore the property from the effects of storm related flooding.

Demolition

Flooding can cause extreme and severe damage to homes and commercial structures. In some cases, flooding can cause the structure to be unsafe where a full or partial demolition may be the only option.

Flooding can be hazardous as the floodwater can contaminate every item in the property whilst damaging structural materials. These items and materials can absorb the contaminated floodwater leaving the property unsafe and uninhabitable.

NZRS offer demolition services for flood-damaged properties. We can plan and assist with the required council consents to proceed with an environmentally safe demolition of your property.

Wall Drying

Water damaged walls caused by storms, flooding, burst pipes or other unforeseen circumstances require immediate attention and drying methods.

Walls and other structural materials need to be dried out in a timely manner to prevent deterioration, warping and mould growth. Mould can form within 24-48 hours after flood damage, so it is essential to act fast.

NZRS use specialised moisture meters, water extraction equipment, commercial grade drying fans and dehumidifiers to prevent further damage and restore the walls to the best possible condition.

Flooring

In some cases, floor flooding may not seem as concerning as a ceiling flood or water damage to walls, however, floor floods can be disastrous if not evaluated and managed by flood restoration professionals.

A floor flood may appear to be an easy DIY clean-up job depending on the severity of the flood, this is not always the case as the damage can be unseen or invisible to the eye that may result in costly repairs down the track.

The floodwater can be absorbed into the hardwood floor causing the wood to expand leaving permanent damage such as mould or bacteria.

Carpets also absorb the floodwater, often requiring quick water extraction techniques using specialised equipment and lifting the carpet to dry and prevent further damage to the foundation materials below the carpet.
