We remove standing water fast with high-powered vacuums and extraction equipment to limit moisture spread and damage.

Industrial air movers, carpet blowers, and dehumidifiers are strategically placed for efficient, even moisture removal.

We monitor carpet and subfloor moisture levels daily, adjusting equipment as needed for controlled, complete drying.

Final Moisture Verification

Once carpets are dry, we sanitise and deodorise to remove bacteria, odours, and allergens, leaving your home clean and safe.

Quick Response

Damp Carpet? Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Wait

Wet carpets can trap moisture beneath the surface, leading to bad odours, mould, bacteria growth, and damage to underlays and floorboards.

📞 Step 1: Call Maintenance World Instantly (24/7)

If your carpets are wet from a leak, flood, or overflow, call our 24/7 emergency team on 0456 003 004. We’ll dispatch experienced specialists to begin water extraction and carpet drying immediately, preventing lasting damage.

⏱️ While You Wait: How to Protect Your Property

We usually arrive within 45 minutes across Greater Melbourne. Until we do, here’s how you can help minimise damage:

Turn Off the Water Supply (If Safe): Stop the water source to limit carpet saturation.
Move Small, Light Valuables: Shift rugs, books, and electronics away from wet areas.
Avoid Walking on Wet Carpets: Prevent further spread of moisture and protect the carpet backing.
Don’t Use Household Vacuums or Heaters: Regular equipment can cause damage and uneven drying.
Take Quick Photos: If it’s safe, snap a few images for your insurance claim and our team’s assessment.

Case Study

Saving a Lounge Room Carpet in Doncaster

See how we saved water-damaged carpets through efficient drying, mould prevention, and rapid restoration across residential and commercial properties.

The Challenge

A burst washing machine hose flooded the lounge room, leaving the carpet, underlay, and subfloor saturated. The homeowner was concerned about mould growth and the cost of replacing both the carpet and timber flooring beneath.

Our Solution

Within 40 minutes, our team arrived on-site and performed immediate water extraction using high-powered vacuums. We lifted sections of carpet, placed specialised under-carpet drying systems, and positioned industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the carpet, underlay, and subfloor evenly. Moisture mapping and daily monitoring ensured no hidden dampness remained.

The Result

The entire area was professionally dried within 48 hours, preventing mould growth and odours. The carpet was salvaged without shrinkage or discolouration, and the subfloor was fully protected. The client avoided costly replacement and was supplied with a drying report for their insurance claim.
