How It Works

Our Simple, Hassle-Free Process

When water invades, our systematic approach ensures every step is taken to protect your property and health. Here’s how we efficiently manage water extraction and drying.

1

Content Classification

We carefully assess and relocate all salvageable items to a safe area within the property or arrange secure off-site storage to protect them.

2

Structural Containment

We install professional containment barriers to isolate water-damaged areas and prevent moisture or mould from spreading.

3

Essential Safety Measures

We secure the site by addressing electrical hazards, turning off power if necessary, and minimising slip risks to ensure immediate safety.

4

Initial Documentation

Before starting any work, we capture detailed photos, videos, and moisture readings for insurance purposes and accurate reporting.

Quick Response

Leak or Flood? Here’s What to Do First

Discovering unexpected water is stressful — but taking the right steps quickly can drastically reduce damage. Your first call should be to us.

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

Before anything else, phone our 24/7 emergency water extraction team on 0456 003 004. We’ll dispatch trained specialists immediately to begin professional water extraction and structural drying. Your safety and property’s recovery are our top priorities.

⏱️ While You Wait: How to Protect Your Property

Our team typically arrives within 45 minutes across Greater Melbourne. Meanwhile, here’s what you can safely do:

  • Turn Off the Water Supply (If Safe): Locate and shut off the main valve or appliance supply to stop the water flow.
  • Switch Off Electricity in Wet Areas: If water has reached electrical points or appliances, cut power to those zones from your switchboard.
  • Move Light Valuables: Carefully relocate rugs, books, electronics, and other damage-prone items to dry areas.
  • Avoid DIY Mopping or Vacuums: Household tools can worsen water absorption into floors and carpets. Leave extraction to the professionals.
  • Don’t Use Heaters or Fans: They cause uneven drying, risking hidden moisture and damage. Industrial systems ensure even, safe results.
  • Take a Few Quick Photos: If safe, snap photos or videos for insurance records and to help our team assess the situation quickly.

Case Study

Hidden Leak & Mould Prevention in St Kilda

Real stories of fast water removal and moisture control that helped homes and businesses prevent further damage and recover quickly after leaks, floods, and burst pipes.

Before After

The Challenge

A slow, undetected leak behind a wall in a St Kilda home led to significant dampness and the start of mould growth, impacting indoor air quality.

Our Solution

After identifying the leak source, we performed targeted water extraction from the affected wall cavity. We then implemented specialised dehumidification and structural drying techniques to thoroughly dry the hidden areas, using thermal imaging to confirm moisture removal.

The Result

The home's moisture levels were restored to safe standards, the mould growth was contained, and further structural damage was prevented, ensuring a healthy living environment for the family.
