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.

 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

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

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.

 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are truly skilled professionals. Outstanding work, very knowledgeable and experts at their job. Very friendly, personal and you can tell they care about fixing your home.

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.

FAQs About The Squeaky Clean Team's Richmond Water Damage Restoration Services

How quickly should I respond to water damage?

Immediate action is crucial. Water can cause significant damage within minutes and will continue to spread often leading to structural damage as it ‘wicks’ up walls and into skirting boards. Left unattended for longer periods can lead to mould growth and carpet de-lamination. Call the Squeaky Clean Team for emergency water damage restoration.

Does insurance cover water damage?

Most home insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage. In commercial environments the landlord will likely be responsible for structural repairs, and the tenants for content repairs including carpet. We work alongside all major insurance companies and can help navigate the claim process, providing all necessary documentation. We are also very good at managing the different parties – for example the damage may affect and involve tenants, property managers, property owners, body corporates and insurance companies.

How long does the water damage restoration process take?

The timeline depends on the extent of the water damage. Minor incidents may be resolved in 1-2 days, while more severe cases may take 5-7 days. Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption to your life or business.

Can you save my wet carpets?

In many cases, yes. With prompt action, our specialised equipment and techniques can often salvage wet carpets. However, this depends on the water source, contamination level, and how long the carpet has been wet.

How to do you prevent mould after water damage?

We use professional-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to thoroughly dry affected areas, followed by antimicrobial treatments to prevent mould growth. Our moisture testing ensures no hidden damp areas remain.

Do you work with insurance companies?

Yes, we work with all major Australian insurance companies and understand their requirements and processes. We provide a valuable service by responding quickly to mitigate water damage, which helps prevent costly secondary damage that can occur when restoration is delayed.

We streamline the claims process by providing comprehensive documentation including detailed damage assessments, photographs, and all necessary paperwork required by your insurer. Our experience working directly with insurance companies means we know exactly what information they need, making your claim process smoother and more efficient.

By acting quickly and providing thorough documentation, we help ensure you receive the coverage you’re entitled to while minimizing the overall cost and disruption to your property.

What areas of Melbourne do you service?

We provide water damage restoration services throughout all Melbourne suburbs and the Mornington Peninsula. Our central location in Moorabbin allows us to reach most Melbourne properties within 60 minutes.

What should I do while waiting for your team to arrive?

If safe to do so, turn off the water source and if affected the electricity. Remove valuable items from wet areas. Wooden and metal furniture legs resting on wet surface can cause damage – place in plastic bags. Do not use household vacuums on wet areas and avoid entering rooms with electrical hazards.
