Moving Furniture and Contents

Moving Furniture
Moving furniture and contents in a water damaged affected property is quite often a big job.
Wooden furniture construction is quite varied. From solid to plywood to compressed wood. Whilst solid wood can mostly be restored, the damage to other wood types may be permanent.

FACT CHECK:
Wooden furniture will not be affected by water.
It is fair to say that damage can, at times, be quite extensive. The longer wooden furniture and other contents stand in water, the more like they will become permanently damaged.
Melbourne Flood Emergency Process
Our technicians will look at the extent of damage of all rooms in your property. Quite often, only part of your home is affected by flood or water. This allows us to move affected items to dry parts of your property. Generally, this makes drying or removal of carpets much easier. The same principal applies when it comes to removing floating floors.
We also have a specialist removal service for the more serious water damage cases. From time to time, furniture and contents are stored offsite. This happens where extensive restoration work is required. We will even get rid of permanently damaged contents for you. Our rubbish removal service is there to give you peace of mind.

Water damage properties are sometimes a chaotic mess. In many instances, bookcases and wall units are heaving with contents. Make sure your pets and small children are not in the way. If, at all possible, move them to a secure part of your property.
Move as many small items as possible off water affected floors or carpets. It could be a tile floor part of your property or a porch or a garage. Stay calm. Water damaged properties are unnerving. Not for us. Our specialist Melbourne Flood Emergency technicians are fully trained. They have the equipment and experience to look after you.
The 3 Different Types of Water Damage
CLEAN WATER DAMAGE
This is the easiest type of water damage for us to deal with. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to get an accurate idea of the extent of your water ingress.
Professional inspection will show you the true damage.
Contaminated water may pose a health threat to you and your family. Making sure the water is clean helps us complete the appropriate workplace safety assessment.
GREY WATER DAMAGE
The classification of this water damage class is perhaps the most complicated. The water can initially be quite clean.
Our technicians will look at factors to determine the water classification.
As the days go by the contamination will increase to the level where it is classed as black water instead of grey.
BLACK WATER DAMAGE
This is the most severe type of water damage. It causes significant damage to contents and structures. Most of the damage cannot be restored.
This level of water damage is best left to the professionals.
Black water can have a distinct odour. There are quite often visual markers present, thus making correct classification easy.
