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!

They were honest, friendly, reliable, and offered a great price. The quality of their work was exceptional, and our place genuinely feels like new again.

I almost never write reviews, but this team absolutely earned it. 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!

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!!

Richard on behalf of the Squeaky Clean Team was phenomenal! He was responsive, efficient and effective but above all, so kind. 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.

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!

I am most happy to have the Squeaky team reaching out for extracting moisture from the timber floor during a one-off rain storm water ingress. 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.

Couldn’t recommend these guys more! So trustworthy and transparent. 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!

The squeaky team went above and beyond to help me out in a tough situation of a flooded apartment. Within 1 hour of calling Richard on a Monday morning he was at my apartment to fix the flooding, and walked me through the entire process to give me peace of mind. Absolute lifesaver, would recommend Richard and Chris to anyone who is in a bind.

Richard and his team are lifesavers. 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.

I am beyond grateful for Richard and his team. 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.

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.

The Squeaky Clean Team was fantastic. Experiencing a flood for the first time in my apartment was overwhelming, but Richard and Chris arrived quickly and immediately put me at ease. They were professional, efficient, and kind throughout the entire process. Their communication was clear, pricing was transparent, and the final cost was very reasonable. Not only did they do an excellent job restoring the carpet, but their expertise and efficiency made a stressful situation much easier to manage. I’m truly grateful for their service and highly recommend them!

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.

I had an urgent situation where my carpet got flooded on Boxing Day and I needed help at short notice. 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!

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!

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

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.

Had a really positive experience with the squeaky clean team. Called them at 7am on New Year’s Day after our apartment had extensive water damage and they were there by 10am. They were professional, talked me through every step of the process and did everything they could to fix the situation as quickly as possible. After a through 3 day job, my carpet is cleaner than before and I’m very thankful. Could not recommend them more!

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!

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 Water Damage Restoration Services

How quickly should I respond to water damage?
Immediately – water damage is a true emergency requiring same-hour response. Water spreads within minutes, seeping into carpets, underlay, walls, and subfloors. Within 24-48 hours, mold spores activate and begin growing. Delayed response causes “wicking” where water travels up walls and into skirting boards, causing secondary structural damage. What starts as a small leak becomes major reconstruction if you wait. Call 1300 682 563 immediately – we arrive within 60 minutes, 24/7, to prevent damage escalation.
Most home and business insurance policies cover sudden accidental water damage – burst pipes, appliance failures, hot water systems, storm damage, overflows. We’re preferred partners with all major Australian insurers (AAMI, RACV, CommInsure, NRMA, QBE, SunCorp, Allianz, Youi, Budget Direct) and provide comprehensive documentation including detailed photos, moisture readings, thermal imaging reports, and restoration plans. We handle direct billing and work closely with insurance adjusters to make your claim process seamless.

Water damage claims are rarely rejected, particularly when the damage and cause are documented properly from the start. We help manage this – including guidance on the correct wording insurers look for – which reduces the chance of delays or issues arising (For more detail see our Water Damage Insurance Claim Tips page).

Carpet is typically dry within 48 hours when we float dry – lifting the carpet to dry the underlay and subfloor directly, rather than drying from the surface only. Full structural drying (subfloor, walls, cavities) can take longer depending on the extent of the damage, which is why the complete restoration process typically runs 3- 7 days: emergency response and extraction happen within 60 minutes (Day 1), industrial dehumidifiers and air movers run continuously while we monitor moisture levels daily, and once everything reads fully dry we clean, sanitise, and restore affected areas. Large floods or concrete subfloors take longer. We only finish when moisture readings confirm it’s actually dry – rushing causes mould growth within weeks.

Usually yes, if we respond within 24-48 hours and water is clean (Category 1). We’ve successfully saved carpets in over 5,000 Melbourne properties since 2007 – all still mold-free – by acting fast with proper equipment. Clean water from burst pipes, appliances, or overflows has excellent success rates. Contaminated water from sewage or stormwater (Category 3 Black Water) typically requires carpet replacement for health and safety. We’ll assess honestly when we arrive and tell you straight away what can be saved.

Water extraction only removes standing water – it doesn’t dry anything by itself. Getting a property properly dry requires evaporation, which is why every job we do pairs extraction with air movers and dehumidifiers. If a company turns up with extraction equipment only and no drying equipment, that’s worth questioning – it’s a common reason “dried” properties develop mould later. Mould prevention requires complete structural drying, not just surface drying. We use industrial air movers creating 2,000+ CFM airflow to extract moisture from carpets, underlay, and subfloors. Commercial dehumidifiers remove 150+ pints of moisture daily from the air. Thermal imaging cameras detect hidden moisture in walls and cavities. Calibrated moisture meters verify complete drying scientifically – we only finish when readings confirm everything is dry. This proven process has kept all 5,000+ properties we’ve restored since 2007 mould-free.

Yes, we’re preferred partners with all major insurers and handle direct billing for water damage restoration claims. We provide comprehensive IICRC-compliant documentation meeting insurance requirements: detailed photos, moisture readings, thermal imaging reports, damage extent assessments, restoration plans, and daily progress updates. We coordinate directly with insurance adjusters, explain technical details, and ensure your claim is properly supported. Our experience with thousands of claims means smoother, faster approvals.

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.

Turn off water source if possible (mains, appliance, tap). Turn off electricity at mains if water is near outlets or electrical systems. Move furniture and valuables to dry areas if safe to do so. Take photos for insurance documentation. Don’t walk excessively on wet carpet – it pushes water deeper into underlay. Don’t try to extract water with household vacuum – you’ll damage it and barely remove any water. Call 1300 682 563 and we’ll provide specific safety guidance while our emergency team travels to you within 60 minutes.

While minor water incidents like small spills can be handled with towels and fans, most water damage requires professional restoration.

Here’s why:

When DIY Might Work:

  • Clean water spills under 1 square meter
  • Immediate action (within 1-2 hours)
  • Non-porous surfaces only
  • No electrical hazards present

 

When You Need Professionals:

  • Water category 2 or 3 (grey/black water from toilets, washing machines, or sewage)
  • Large affected areas (more than 3 square meters)
  • Hidden moisture behind walls, under floors, or in ceiling cavities
  • Structural materials affected (drywall, insulation, subflooring)
  • Potential mould growth (after 24-48 hours)
  • Insurance claims requiring professional documentation

 

Risks of DIY:

  • Hidden moisture leading to mould and structural damage
  • Health hazards from contaminated water
  • Insurance issues – improper restoration may void claims
  • Inadequate equipment – household fans can’t achieve proper drying
  • Secondary damage from incomplete moisture removal

 

Our Recommendation: For anything beyond a minor spill, contact professionals within 24 hours. We offer free assessments plus free video assessments to determine if DIY is appropriate or if professional restoration is needed to protect your property and health.

Emergency situations always require immediate professional help – don’t risk your safety or property value trying to handle major water damage alone.
