CALL (02) 9977 7788When water damage strikes, every minute counts. Here's why Sydney homeowners trust Chem-Dry Action to restore their homes fast.
Water damage doesn't wait for business hours. Our experienced team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for all wet carpet repair and restoration across all Sydney suburbs — commercial and domestic.
We use professional-grade air movers and dehumidification equipment to speed-dry wet carpets, underlay and subfloors. The sooner we act, the better — reducing the risk of mould, bacteria and permanent damage.
Water damage creates the perfect environment for mould and bacteria to thrive. We disinfect all affected carpets, underlay and surfaces to prevent secondary contamination and protect your family's health.
We assess, remove and replace damaged underlay where necessary, and re-pin or re-stretch carpets back onto the smooth edge after drying — leaving your floors looking and feeling as good as new.
Water damage restoration is often covered by home contents insurance. We are a preferred supplier in Sydney for major insurers and can assist with documentation and claims to make the process as smooth as possible.
From a single wet room to a whole-house flood, we handle it all. We come out at a time that suits you — no waiting around. We also hire out air movers and dehumidification machines for customers who prefer to DIY.
Our proven process ensures your home is restored safely, thoroughly and as quickly as possible.
Take action on the day. The sooner you act, the less damage occurs and the lower the restoration cost.
Get a plumber or builder to carry out repairs if necessary before restoration begins.
Our technicians are IICRC certified and follow water damage restoration best practice standards.
Move contents to a dry, unaffected area. If making an insurance claim, photograph and document the damage.
We use professional air movers and dehumidifiers — typically required for 2–4 days until carpets, underlay and subfloor are completely dry.
Once dry, we re-pin or re-stretch carpets back onto the smooth edge and replace any damaged underlay.
Full carpet cleaning and sanitisation to remove bacteria, mould spores and any residual contamination. Re-position furniture.
Full restoration complete — your home is clean, dry, safe and back to normal as quickly as possible.
Not all water damage is the same. Before any restoration work begins, it's important to understand the type of water involved, as this determines the appropriate treatment and safety precautions.
Clean Water — This may come from a cistern leak, bath overflow or burst pipe. The safest category to deal with and the most straightforward to restore.
Grey Water — Washing machines, dishwashers or sink overflows can cause this type of flooding. Contains some contaminants and requires proper disinfection.
Black Water — Sewage backup or river flooding. This is the most hazardous category. We strongly recommend you do not attempt to dry black water affected carpets yourself. Carpets affected by sewage should be removed and disposed of immediately by professionals.
If you walk on a carpet and water appears where you step, the carpet is most likely saturated. Our technicians use moisture probes to accurately assess the extent of water damage where it is not immediately obvious.
Lifting the carpet and inspecting the underlay and subfloor is an effective way to determine the full size and extent of the damage:
If the carpet backing shows visible black mould on the hessian, or the carpet is old and rippled (indicating backing delamination), replacement is the better option.
Chem-Dry Action offers a complete 24-hour emergency water damage restoration service for both domestic and commercial properties across all Sydney suburbs. Our comprehensive service includes:
Drying machines are typically required for approximately 2–4 days before carpets, underlay and subfloor are completely dry. We also hire out air movers and dehumidification machines for customers who prefer to manage the drying themselves.
