Common Questions About Our Services

We’ve answered thousands of questions over the years. Here are the ones we hear most often:

What equipment do I need to hire for DIY water damage drying?

You need both air movers (carpet dryers/fans) AND dehumidifiers working together – one without the other won’t work. Air movers create airflow to extract moisture from carpets and structures. Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air. Running air movers alone just moves wet air around without removing moisture. Running dehumidifiers alone works too slowly. You also need moisture meters to verify complete drying scientifically, not guesswork. Our packages include the proper ratio of equipment with meters.

How long do I need to hire drying equipment?

Most water damage requires equipment running continuously 24/7 for 3-5 days. Small carpet-only floods might dry in 2-3 days. Concrete subfloors or larger areas take 4-5 days. Equipment must run continuously day and night – never turn it off. Many DIY failures happen because people turn off equipment overnight to save electricity, which extends drying time and causes mold growth. Moisture meters confirm when drying is complete, preventing guesswork.

Can I switch to professional service if DIY becomes too difficult?

Absolutely yes – we’re here to help either way. Many people start DIY then realize the project is bigger than expected. Call 1300 682 563 anytime and we’ll assess where you’re at, take over if needed, and adjust our approach based on what you’ve accomplished. There’s no judgment – water damage often looks smaller initially than it actually is. Your property and family’s health matter more than pride. We genuinely want you to succeed, whether DIY or with our help.

What's included in your equipment hire packages?

Package #1 (small jobs): 1 dehumidifier + 3 air movers for carpets and small areas. Package #2 (ground floor up to 50m²): 4 dehumidifiers + 12 air movers for whole house ground floor. Package #3 (large commercial up to 200m²): 15 dehumidifiers + 50 air movers for large commercial spaces. All packages include moisture meters, setup guidance, and 24/7 phone support. We’ll recommend the right package based on your specific water damage.

Do you deliver equipment or do I pick it up?

Both options available. We deliver across Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula within 60 minutes for emergencies. Delivery fees vary by location: inner Melbourne, eastern suburbs, and Mornington Peninsula. Pickup available from our Moorabbin location for best rates. Same-day delivery available 7 days a week including weekends for urgent situations. Emergency equipment delivery responds as fast as our professional service.

Why should I hire from you instead of a hardware store?

Our industrial equipment is 10 times more powerful than consumer rentals. Hardware store carpet dryers produce 200-400 CFM – our air movers generate 2,000+ CFM. Consumer dehumidifiers remove 20-30 litres daily – our commercial units extract 55+ litres. We include professional moisture meters (hardware stores don’t offer these). We provide free setup guidance, professional placement techniques, 24/7 support, and honest advice about DIY feasibility. We’re the only company in Melbourne offering moisture meters with equipment hire – essential for verifying complete drying.

What support do you provide for DIY equipment hire?

Complete professional support: Free consultation to assess if DIY is appropriate for your situation (we’ll honestly tell you if professional service is better), equipment recommendations based on your specific damage, setup guidance with professional placement techniques, operation instruction, 24/7 phone support throughout hire period, moisture meter training to verify complete drying, and professional backup if needed. If you feel you’re in over your head at any time, call us and we’ll take over professionally. Our 110% Care Factor means we genuinely want your DIY project to succeed.
