When water floods your property, it can feel chaotic. Floors get soaked, walls start absorbing moisture. The thing is, water damage moves fast, and not acting quickly can make everything worse.
At Flood Services Canberra, we provide water extraction to protect your property and stop damage from spreading. Whether it’s a burst pipe, stormwater, overflowing appliance, or something unexpected, our team is available to help 24/7.
If you need help, we are the right team. We’ll get the water out and restore your property.
When it’s left untreated, water can:
When water seeps into timber, it starts to swell and bend. Our team sees this all the time. The longer the water sits, the more the boards lift and cup. Fast extraction helps stop this early, giving the flooring a much better chance of being saved.
Plasterboard absorbs water like a sponge. Once it’s saturated, it weakens, sags, and can even crumble. We work quickly to remove moisture before it reaches that point, keeping your walls stable and reducing the need for replacements.
Water and electricity are a dangerous mix. Moisture can enter outlets, wiring, and switches, creating serious safety risks. Our team identifies affected areas and makes sure everything is handled safely while the extraction and drying take place.
That damp, stale smell? It’s a sign that hidden moisture is sitting in your floors or walls. We extract the water properly and dry the structure so those odours don’t settle in and linger long after the incident.
Mould can start forming within 24–48 hours. That’s why we treat every job with urgency. Our team extracts water fast and dries all affected areas to avoid the conditions that mould needs to grow.
Wet materials increase humidity and release airborne particles that are not good for your health. Our team doesn’t just extract the water and dry the area, we also provide air purification to clean the indoor air. This helps restore a comfortable environment for you and your family.
When water damage spreads, the cost of fixing it can climb quickly. Our goal is to step in early, extract the water properly, and prevent those long-term issues from developing.
That’s why the first and most important step is proper water extraction. Not mopping. Not waiting. Not hoping the sun will dry it. The right equipment and hiring a reliable water extraction company in Canberra make all the difference.
We start by checking where the water has travelled, how much has pooled, and the materials affected. This helps us choose the right extraction method and equipment straight away. No guesswork. No delays.
Then, we get to work. We use powerful extraction machines that remove water far more effectively than mops, domestic vacuums, or towels ever could. Our team moves from room to room, pulling out as much water as possible in the shortest amount of time.
Surface water is only part of the problem. Moisture sits in carpet underlay, grout lines, timber joints, and concrete pores. We apply targeted extraction techniques to reach these areas, helping prevent long-term damage and mould growth.
Water settles in corners, along skirting boards, and behind furniture. We move items carefully and use specialised tools to extract water from tight spaces so nothing is left.
After removing all the water, we go over the area for a final check. We make sure we’ve removed as much water as possible before drying begins.
We check how far the water has spread, not just on the surface but within walls, floors, and subfloor layers. Our advanced tools help us pinpoint hidden moisture that can’t be seen with the naked eye.
Carpet, timber, concrete, and tiles, each react differently to water. We inspect how each surface has been affected to implement the safest and most effective way to extract water without causing more damage.
If the water carries bacteria, chemicals, or organic matter, we adjust our approach. Your safety comes first, so we assess what’s needed to protect your environment during and after extraction.
If moisture has soaked into timber frames, plasterboard, or subfloors, we consider the stability of the affected area. This step helps prevent long-term issues like rot or warping.
We determine what can realistically be restored. Some materials respond well to extraction and drying. Others will need to be removed. We’re honest about the options so you can make confident decisions.

Yes. Hardwood floors can be saved if water is removed quickly. Our team uses high-grade extraction equipment and controlled drying techniques to remove moisture from the wood and subfloor. This prevents warping, cupping, and long-term structural damage.
Proper extraction combined with drying and deodorising treatments can eliminate odours caused by water damage, including musty smells and mildew.
