Our carpets came up a treat, they not only look great but they smell amazing too. Our carpet cleaner (I missed his name) did such a great job and was super efficient. Arranging the job was super simple too. And every person from the team that we communicated with were all so lovely. I’ve had carpets cleaned several times over the years and not only was this easily the best job, it was also affordable. Thanks so much!

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!!

Forget about booking carpet steam cleaners that advertise, “cheapest and best”, The Squeaky Clean Team is truly the BEST! Their technician was gentle and thorough with my carpet. He removed the stains. He took no shortcut, attending to all corners and tight spots as well. In a few words, they transformed my old wool carpet. I’m enjoying walking on my “new” carpet now!

I originally called the team to treat a faint urine smell, but they went above and beyond. They noticed a stubborn stain I’d spent hours unsuccessfully trying to scrub out myself and offered to treat it at no extra cost. The results speak for themselves—most of the stain is now gone! They were prompt, friendly, and offered a very fair price. I especially appreciated how accommodating they were with moving furniture and working around my schedule. Highly recommended!

They were great. Richard came out and did a brilliant job. Even got out stains from when I moved in 5 years ago that I was told were to tough to get out without even being asked. He was a pleasure to deal with and helpful, even asked if I would like to clear some areas to get to more of the carpet for cleaning. I highly recommend this service and I will use them again without question.

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!

Washing Machine Flooded

Melbourne Prone To Flood Damage

If your home has flooded in Melbourne, Australia, you’re certainly not alone.

We also have pipes that burst, bathtubs that overflow and washing machines that leak! Squeaky Clean Team is equipped to handle such emergencies and offers fast and efficient emergency flood damage carpet cleaning and structural drying services. Whether your home or workplace has been damaged due to heavy rainfall, grey water damage, burst pipe or flash flood, we’re here to help!

With our skilled technicians and state-of-the-art equipment, we can rapidly restore your home back to its pre-flood condition in no time. Trust Squeaky Clean Team to provide top-notch services and help you overcome the stress and discomfort of flood damage.

My Washing Machine Has Flooded My Home — Help!

Now that you’ve reached this page, you’re probably standing in a very soggy & possibly soapy room— panicking. A flood caused by a washing machine can cause a huge amount of damage. And not just to your carpets and flooring.

After you’ve stopped the water gushing out of your washing machine, your next call should be to our flood damage team on 1300-682 563. Act fast, and there’s a very good chance we’ll be able to save your carpets, flooring and your sanity! Our hotshot team of fully trained and certified cleaners will apply all their skills and experience to restore your carpets to their showroom condition.

Why Trust Us To Dry You Out

Our team of flood damage restoration experts has a proven track record of excellent customer service. We’ve dried out Cricket Australia’s offices, as well as those for the Multiple Sclerosis & St Vinnies. We’re also the preferred restoration company for Gary Peer & other local Real Estate Companies.

But don’t just take our word for it — check out our many positive reviews. As you see, we’re very adept at remaining calm and effective in the most stressful situations. And we’ve seen everything, so there’s no need to be embarrassed about your dirty little secret! check out our many positive reviews.

But you need to address water damage quickly, this is even more crucial for contaminated black water from a toilet, or the damage can become costly to fix. Call us on 1300 682 563 and let our water damage restoration experts work their magic!

Our team deals with the aftermath of home floods caused by faulty washing machines! Our team can’t work their magic until you’ve dealt with the root cause of the flood. So, before you call our team of water damage restoration experts, here’s a quick to-do checklist (if you haven’t already):

  • Switch off your washing machine if it’s safe to do so.
  • Turn off the water at the mains. It’s amazing what people will (or won’t) do when they’re gripped by panic.
  • Turn off your electricity and/or gas supplies. Water, electricity, and gas are a dangerous combination!
  • Remove anything that is sitting on the flooded flooring. This includes furniture, rugs, and anything that might get damaged or stained by the floodwater.
  • Call us. If you don’t attend to water-damaged flooring, quickly, secondary damage occurs and that’s when things get expensive! Why Do Washing Machines Flood Homes?

Believe it or not, washing machines are the single biggest cause of home floods in Australia. We switch on this water-filled machine and get on with the rest of our day. But because most of us don’t sit there watching the full washing cycle, we only realize there’s a flood when our carpets and flooring are drenched.

But why is this so common? Well, it’s because the humble washing machine is a giant vibrating hulk of machinery filled with water. Sooner or later, it’s going to blow, or more commonly the waste pipe pops out of the sink! (yes this is the most common cause of washing machine floods) The damage this can cause can be significant unless you call the experts from the Squeaky Clean Team as soon as possible to start mopping up and getting fully dry.

Not all heroes wear capes! Our fully trained and certified operatives actually wear smart overalls. And they know exactly how to deal with flood damaged carpet, as well as the after- effects of floods caused by washing machines.

We’re here to save your carpet and ensure your home flood doesn’t cause long-lasting damage. We provide a 24/7 water damage service in Melbourne and the surrounding areas. We know how distressing water damage in a home can be. That’s why we take full control of the situation when we arrive. Take a breather, have a cup of coffee (or something stronger) and try to relax

— we’ve got you covered.

Don’t delay. Call us on 1300 682563, and we’ll work quickly to minimise the water damage in your home.

Our Five-Step Approach To Washing Machine Flooded Homes

We bring a range of specialist equipment to every job, so we’re ready for every eventuality.

But the first thing we’ll do is suck out the excess water from the room. But this is only the beginning. While your place might look dry, there’s always hidden moisture in carpets and floors after a flood. So, we take a five-step approach to drying you out fully:

Step 1: Assessment
As soon as our carpet flood damage experts arrive at your place, they’ll begin an urgent assessment of the damage. If your washing machine is upstairs, the water has probably gone through the floor and caused damage to the room below. Water may also have escaped through doorways and into walls.
Step 2: Extraction
While this might sound a little technical, it basically means sucking the excess water out of your home. We use both portable extraction machines & the latest truckmount cleaning systems to suck water from saturated carpets & floors. We then move on to the next stage.
Step 3: Air Movers
Circulating air around a flooded room is essential – it’s the key to completing the drying process. That’s why we use strategically placed industrial-strength air blowers to encourage the movement of air around the affected rooms. As the air moves around the room it picks up moisture from the wet surfaces. The moisture in the air is then sucked out using large dehumidifiers.
Step 4: Dehumidify

A flood, particularly one caused by hot washing machine water, causes humidity levels to rise. And when this happens, the excess moisture in the air can get into walls, flooring and furniture — causing mould and long-term structural issues.

To prevents bad odours and mould from developing over time it is crucial that all the unseen moisture in the affected room be removed. We use a series of powerful dehumidifiers to quickly reduce the humidity levels & moisture from a flooded room.

The dehumidifiers suck the moisture out of the air that’s being circulated by the air movers. We measure the moisture in the affected surfaces to make sure they’re dry before we remove the drying equipment.

Step 5: Steam Clean
Once our team of water damage experts are happy that all the moisture has been removed, they can get to work on restoring your carpets to their showroom condition. They do this with specialized steam cleaning equipment and dedicated cleaning agents.

Our Flood Damage Services Aren’t Just For Carpet

While our team of flood damage restoration experts spends a lot of time saving carpets flooded by overflowing baths, other surfaces may be affected & we specialize in restoring the following too:

Carpet

The faster we act, the greater the chance of saving your carpets from an early grave!

Wood flooring

Water absorption can cause warping, splits, and irreparable damage.

Concrete

Water absorption can cause cracks and undermine the strength and stability of concrete.

Laminate flooring

Quick action is crucial. When water permeates the joins between laminate lengths, the damage is often permanent.

Skirting boards and door jambs

Time plus water equals absorption and permanent damage.

Walls and wall cavities

Rising damp, humidity and stagnant flood water can cause permanent damage to walls.

Ceilings

Water travels downwards (blame Sir Isaac Newton!). This can cause catastrophic damage to floors below. And that can lead to serious costs if you live in an apartment complex.

Richard and Chris did an amazing job restoring my carpet back to its original condition after a flood from an appliance. Would highly recommend Richard for any carpet repairs. His reassurance and reliability was second to none!!

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!

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

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 & The Squeaky Clean Team have saved the day for us and we are forever grateful! 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!

Excellent service and work. Upstairs toilet leaked and flooded bedroom and lounge. The floors were smelling and soaking wet. The Squeaky Clean Team quickly assessed the damage and work started straight away. True professionals with all the correct equipment to get the job done thoroughly and give piece of mind. Very happy with the results and service from the team. I highly recommend. Thanks again Squeaky Clean Team!

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

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.

Carpet Cleaning Melbourne one of the best! 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!
