What Counts as Flood Damage

Flood damage covers more than burst rivers and storm surges. In Melbourne, it’s just as often a flash flood after a summer storm, stormwater backing up through drains, a burst water main flooding your street, or rainwater pooling in a basement or garage. If the water’s come from outside your property rather than a single internal leak, it’s flood damage — and it needs a faster, more thorough response than a standard water damage job.

The Squeaky Clean Team has been restoring flooded homes and businesses across Melbourne since 2007. Flood water spreads fast and mould takes hold faster, so acting in the first few hours makes the biggest difference to both the damage and what it costs to put right.

Our Flood Restoration Process

Step 1 — Emergency Response & Assessment:

We arrive within 60 minutes to assess the extent of the flooding and plan exactly what’s needed.

Step 2 — Water Extraction:

We remove standing floodwater fast, prioritising the areas most at risk of further damage.

Step 3 — Stabilising & Drying:

Industrial dryers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from floors, walls, and subfloors — typically 2 to 4 days, depending on the extent of the flooding.

Step 4 — Re-Evaluation & Restoration:

A final check for hidden moisture, then we restore or reconstruct whatever the flood damaged, so your property’s back to normal.

Residential & Commercial Flood Restoration

Flooding in your home is stressful enough without wondering if you’re doing the right thing. We handle the whole process — extraction, drying, and restoration — so you can focus on your family, not the mess.

For businesses, flood damage means lost trading time on top of the damage itself. We work to get you operating again as fast as safely possible, with full documentation for your insurer along the way.

Insurance Claims Made Easier

Flood damage claims can be some of the most complex — which is exactly why we work directly with Melbourne’s major insurers. Restoring your property quickly, and documenting everything as we go, helps prevent the secondary damage that drives up claim costs and slows down approval.

What Happens If You Wait

Floodwater doesn’t sit quietly. Within 24–48 hours, mould spores can begin developing, timber flooring can start to warp, and what could have been a straightforward extraction and dry-out becomes a much bigger reconstruction job. The longer flooding sits, the more it costs — in both money and health risk.

If your property’s affected, don’t wait to find out how bad it’ll get. Call us on 1300 682 563 — we’ll be there within 60 minutes.

After a plumbing issue flooded our carpets, they came out and did an incredible job. If we ever face another problem like this, they will without a doubt be my first call. I highly recommend them to anyone!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Last Sunday my apartment unfortunately got flooded. I contacted 2 other service providers but all they cared about was charging me a lot of money.

When I contacted the Squeaky Clean Team, Richard was incredibly helpful and to the point with the different options they provide, and what would be best for my situation. Easing my panic.
He came by really quickly to inspect the situation and went to work straight away, he even gave me an awesome discount!
it took 5 days to completely dry and reseat the carpets but all worth the professionalism that Richard and his team brought. I would highly recommend their services to anyone!!

Made us feel like we had someone in our corner after our first carpet flooding incident away from home! Chris who came out to relay the carpet was also exceptional. We would strongly recommend the Squeaky Clean Team and would use their services if needed again in a heartbeat. Thank you again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had Richard and Chris help out after washing machine leak that flooded my carpet. While I was getting very expensive quotes elsewhere, I called up The Squeaky Clean Team and they came back with a much more reasonable price as well as walking through multiple options (and subsequent costs) for potential solutions to the issue. Richard took my phone call quite late at night and was very supportive & calming after I was quite stressed, then made sure to come immediately the following day.  Overall they are very honest and skilled guys, with the right solutions, reasonable prices and very easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend for any cleaning or emergency related issues!

They arrived within hours of phone call .

They are very professional and friendly in the process of rescuing my floor board.

I highly recommend the Squealing Team. They are very efficient.

Had some carpet flooding and Richard and Chris arrived within a few hours and walked me through the problem and what we should do to fix it. They talked me out of spending more money on a service I didn’t need, and their pricing was so much more affordable than other providers. Really grateful for their attentiveness and generosity. Will definitely be coming back for any future carpet needs!

I was confronted with an awful situation when a plumber (247 Plumbing Melbourne in Windsor - never use!) flooded my house with sewerage. Richard and his team from the first call, helped calm me down and were swift in actioning a thorough fix up and clean of my house. Over the coming days they continued to check in, undertook another full clean and throughout every step of the process, remaining supportive, professional and calm. Highly highly recommend.

Not only were they quick to reply, their assistance in explaining every step of the cleanup, what needed to be done and the the extra support to assist me with the insurance claim was above and beyond. I instantly felt relaxed and the initial anxiety of dealing with the flooding was put to rest from the moment we began talking. Then came the after care and follow up to ensure all insurance issues were meet.
Thank you all so much.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called asking about carpet drying after a washing machine flood incident  soaked my bedroom! A lovely and very helpful man who to my very pleasant surprise seemed to know exactly my situation picked up! He guided me through all my options-including the machines I would need to hire to do the job myself, and how to position them- this also included telling me how to pull up the carpet and offering to look at photos!!! Best experience I could have asked for. If I could afford professional drying and cleaning I’d hire these people 100 times over

Called Richard on Monday night with a flooded washing machine, he talked me through the process over the phone and offered advice and options purely to help me. The next day the Squeaky Clean Team were at our house fixing our partially flooded house. Communication was clear and problem solved and carpets even steam cleaned for a reasonable price! Would absolutely recommend the team for anyone needing cleaning or solutions to clean up water leaks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I accidentally left the bathtub running, which flooded the bathroom and part of the hallway carpet on the second floor. This, unfortunately, caused a leak in the ceiling on the first floor. Needless to say, I was in a panic! Thankfully, I randomly found the (amazing) Squeaky Clean Team on Google, and they literally saved the day. I called them around 11 PM on a Sunday night, and by 8 AM Monday morning, they were already at my home addressing the issue.

Richard, an absolute superstar, reassured me and thoroughly explained the situation and the steps needed to resolve it. We had to leave the large dryers running for two days to properly dry the carpet and ceiling. Chris (another team superstar) came back the following day to ensure everything was working as expected and returned on the last day to remove the dryers and reinstall the carpet.

Their prompt response (so crucial during floods), kindness, and availability truly make them the dream team! I couldn’t have asked for better help.

Richard was prompt coming to the property immediately and did an excellent job. Richard had to make a few visits to ensure the area was completely dry before removing the equipment. Everything was hassle free and all costs very reasonable. Highly recommend Squeaky Clean if you ever find yourself in need of a carpet water extraction. Thank You Richard and Chris!

We called Richard after discovering a flood in our home; washing machine leak that had spread through 3 rooms, including our main bedroom and the wooden floor under the stairs. Richard turned up when promised and in 30 minutes set up a system and put our minds at ease. Richard has touched based a number of times since. We could not be happier. We are now so relieved we got the experts in to save a potentially very bad situation. Thank you Richard!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My house was flooded with water all over the floor from toilet leaking. I called Richard and he helped me to sorting out the necessary steps to deal with the problem. At the time I was not sure about my insurance policy and he was not hesitate to give me advice of how to dry the house. Eventually I found my insurance and asked Richard and his team to come to my house and dried the house and removed the floor board that was damaged. Richard is very patient, kind and helpful during the whole process. Highly recommended

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard is truly a life saver! He came to our aid when a pipe burst in our apartment and the water fully soaked our carpet and went down two floors. He not only helped us get the carpet fully dry but also consoled us and supported us as we were renting and new to the country. He is a blessing and we highly recommend his services. Richard and his team are true professionals and he provided the best advice in the situation and not only spoke to our property management but all the other tenants and helps with body corp. If there is flood or water damage the squeaky clean team is the way to go 100%!
We thank them wholeheartedly and will always return for any future work if we need to. You don’t have to think twice before going to this company for your job.

After a through 3 day job, my carpet is cleaner than before and I’m very thankful. Could not recommend them more!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a huge water leak after moving into my apartment when the removalists misconnected my washing machine. Richard immediately came to the rescue and repaired all the damage which included drying up the wooden floorboards and carpet of my apartment, my neighbours and the common area. Throughout the process Richard lifted a huge amount of stress and anxiety off my shoulders by not only repairing the damage that was done but helping me resolve this matter with body corporate and VCAT. Through Richards recommendation to take this matter to VCAT I have now managed to win and settle my case. Throughout the 4 months post the floorboard and carpet drying Richard was there throughout the whole process to provide advice and support as it was my first time applying to the tribunal and I would not have been able to win my settlement without his expertise and knowledge. Richard's service is above and beyond and I can't thank you enough for all your help. I would not hesitate to recommend Richard and his team to anyone.

We hd a flooded carpet in front of our washing machine last night at 10pm.  We just googled for a 24/7 service and Carpet Cleaning Melbourne popped up. Richard was very patient, he guided us properly and he gave his advice freely just because he wanted to help. Instead of charging us a fortune he told us not to panic overnight and deal with the problem the next morning. He gave us solutions and we fixed the issue immediately. Very responsive very attentive.

Needless to say we will be recommending him to family and friendship and will be using his services in the future because he is a great person and not just another faceless business that wants to rip you off.

Thank you Richard!

My wife and I woke up to one of our rooms being completely flooded with water by a bidet in the ensuite that wasn't fully closed. It's a horrible feeling. Thankfully we found Richard online, called him and he arrived within the hour. He and Stuart were absolute professionals and did an excellent job at drying and restoring the carpet. Richard even gave us one extra turbo dryer on top of his usual equipment without charging us any extra. His guy Billy fixed the underlay and carpet. The Squeaky Clean Team took care of everything expertly from start to finish and saved us from any headaches and fixed this mini disaster without problems or hassles

Afterwards, Richard gave us a free steam clean on the house as well. I would not hesitate to highly recommend The Squeaky Clean Team to my family, friends or anyone who needs flood carpet drying or steam cleaning. These guys are the best at their job so you're definitely in safe hands. You would'nt trust your precious house to just anybody so go with the professionals and experts.

Our Trusted Industry Partnerships

The Squeaky Clean Team has established itself as Melbourne’s premier flood damage restoration service, earning the trust of diverse business clients including real estate agencies, charitable organisations, and medical facilities. Our exceptional service has positioned us as the preferred supplier to a number of corporate clients.

We’re not a preferred partner of any insurer and we don’t do direct billing. What we do is prepare a full report and submit our invoice to your insurance company the insurer pays you, the policyholder, and you pay us once that comes through. We’ve helped customers through claims with AAMI, RACV, NRMA, QBE, Suncorp, Allianz, Budget Direct and every other major insurer, with no issues.

What happens when you call

When you call, the first thing we do is ask a series of questions and explain in detail how we’re going to solve your problem. If you’ve got insurance, we’ll explain exactly what to do and how to deal with it — for example, what happened to you probably isn’t a “flood” in your policy’s terms, it’s a “liquid escape,” and that distinction matters because it’s the wording your policy actually uses. We’ll take you through, step by step, exactly what to do with your insurer so you’re not out of pocket. Call us and we’ll solve your problem as quickly as possible.

No insurance?

Most of our site talks about insurance because most jobs involve it — but if you’re not insured, don’t let that stop you from calling. We offer a complete, affordable turnkey service either way: we’ll solve the problem quickly and cost-effectively, the same way we would for an insured job, just billed directly to you instead of through a claim. Plenty of our reviews are from customers who paid for the job themselves and were glad they called.

No scare tactics

When you call The Squeaky Clean Team, you won’t get scare tactics about mould to pressure you into hiring someone. We ask the right questions and give you as much real information as we can over the phone, so you can make your own call. Our reviews back this up — we’ve solved problems for people that other companies couldn’t. Try us first, or try us last after everyone else has said no: either way, we’ll solve the problem.

FAQs about Flood Damage Restoration

How much does flood restoration cost in Melbourne?

Cost depends on how much water’s involved and how long it’s been sitting — a same-day response to a small flooded area might be a few hundred dollars, while extensive flooding with reconstruction can run into the thousands. We provide a written estimate before any work begins, and if your insurer’s covering the claim, we bill them directly.

How long does complete flood restoration take?

Water extraction usually happens within the first hour of us arriving. Drying takes 2 to 4 days depending on how much moisture has gotten into floors and walls. Full restoration, including any reconstruction, can take longer depending on the extent of the damage — we’ll give you a clear timeline once we’ve assessed your property.

How quickly do you respond to flood emergencies?

Within 60 minutes, 24/7, anywhere in Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula. There’s a callout fee (higher after hours), or send photos for free video assessment. Flood damage is a true emergency – every hour that contaminated stormwater sits in your property spreads bacteria and causes exponentially more structural damage. Call 1300 682 563 immediately for emergency flood cleanup.

What is the difference between flood damage and water damage restoration?

Water damage usually comes from a single source inside your property — a burst pipe or an overflowing appliance. Flood damage comes from outside — storm flooding, stormwater backup, or a burst water main — and often affects a larger area with more contamination risk, which is why it needs a faster, more thorough response.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency flood response across Melbourne?

Yes. We’re onsite within 60 minutes, any time of day or night, across metro Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. Flooding doesn’t wait for business hours, so neither do we.

Will my insurance cover flood damage restoration?

Can you save my property after severe flood damage or will everything need replacing?

It depends on response speed and contamination level. We’ve successfully restored over 5,000 water-damaged properties since 2007, including severe flood damage. Quick response (within 24-48 hours) dramatically increases what we can save. Clean stormwater caught early allows saving more materials. Heavily contaminated water (sewage mixed with floodwater) requires more replacement for health and safety. We’ll assess honestly when we arrive and tell you straight away what can be saved versus what needs replacing. Our priority is your family’s safety and your property’s long-term integrity.
