We stand by our work and our customers and our objective is restore your premises to their pre-flood condition

The longer a flooded or water damaged premises stays waterlogged, the more damage is done to the structure, and the more expensive it is to restore to its pre-flood condition. Carpet damage is on the surface, but sub-floors, walls and ceilings start absorbing water within hours.

The first thing we will do is assess the damage and then put specialised equipment in place to extract the water and dry the premises as fast as possible, though this process might require a few days.

Flooding of structural elements such as sub floors, ceiling and walls can have serious consequences if they are not fully dried, including permanent weakness, collapse, and long-term mould and mildew problems causing offensive odours. we ensure that surfaces and subsurface are completely dry by monitoring with specialised equipment before restoring floors, walls, ceilings and any other damaged elements, such as built in cupboards, etc.

If the carpet can be saved, we usually lift it and dry it, often from both sides and the same time (a process called float drying). If the underfelt can be dried, we do that too, otherwise the wet underfelt is removed and replaced. When the carpet is dry, it is stretched to compensate for any shrinkage, and then re-laid by our professional carpet layers. Finally, we deep steam clean the carpet, deodorise it and treat for mildew. It will then look as good as it did before it was flooded.

We will be with you every step of the way. We will provide the assessment and documentation the insurance company requires. Rest assured we will make the process as easy as possible.

In most cases the cost of restoration and repair is covered by the insurance policy. We have been dealing with insurance companies for more than 20 years, and know exactly what they require to check and complete claims with minimum delay.

Rented or leased premises are usually covered by the landlord’s insurance company, or by the tenant’s own contents insurance policy , or by the body corporate. Kleen-Tech has had decades of experience in this area and will be happy to advise you. Just call Kleen-Tech and leave the rest to us.

If you are not insured, you will probably be personally liable for the cost of repairs. If this is the case, Kleen-Tech will stand by you and help you to work out a way of paying for the restoration. We know times can be tough and we won’t leave you in the lurch.
