When severe stormwater flooded the Stan Cash Furniture Store in Brooklyn, our team was immediately called to mitigate the damage and ensure minimal disruption to the business. Stormwater had infiltrated the property through the main entrance doors, affecting an extensive 400m² area of carpet. The challenge was clear: restore the space quickly to avoid significant loss of trade and minimize downtime for the business.
Stormwater Flooded – Stan Cash Furniture Store
We responded swiftly, deploying a professional team to extract the water from the affected area. Recognizing the importance of thorough sanitization, we applied a specialized sanitiser and browning treatments across the entire 400m² carpeted area to combat potential health risks and prevent staining. Our team then set up a combination of 25 air movers and 7 dehumidifiers, strategically placed to maximize drying efficiency. Over the course of three days, we closely monitored moisture levels, adjusting equipment as needed to ensure optimal results.
At the completion of the drying process, we treated the carpet again to prevent browning, then proceeded with a meticulous buffing and steam cleaning of the entire area. Although the restoration efforts were successful, we noted that the carpet had unfortunately delaminated and recommended its replacement. This case highlights our commitment to going above and beyond by not only restoring the space but also providing expert advice to safeguard against future issues. In cases where full restoration is impossible, we ensure our clients are informed and prepared for the next steps.
The Squeaky Clean Team Approach
Richard and Louise Reid founded The Squeaky Clean Team in 2007 with a straightforward idea: be the service you’d want to hire when things go wrong.
That means answering the phone at 2am, not an answering machine. It means telling you honestly if your stain won’t fully come out, rather than promising what we can’t deliver. It means staying until the job is actually done.
After 5,000+ Melbourne restorations, our track record is our best reference:
- 60-minute emergency response, 24/7, for Melbourne metro
- IICRC-certified technicians
- Thermal imaging used on every job
- Daily moisture monitoring and documentation
- Preferred partner with AAMI, RACV, QBE, Suncorp, Allianz, and more
- 100% mould-free record across all 5,000+ restored properties
We don’t say “best in Melbourne”. We say: call us, check our reviews, and judge for yourself.
