Why Professional Water Damage Cleanup Matters
Whether you have a minor leak or a flooded unit, it’s essential to act quickly when water damage is a threat to your property. Efficient water damage restoration in Adelaide can:
Mitigate Secondary Damage
Fast water removal limits swelling and warping in floors, walls and cabinets, thus reducing cupping, delamination and staining.
Minimise Mould and Odours
Thorough drying, ventilation and targeted sanitisation treatments help prevent mustiness and mould growth.
Preserve Fixtures and Belongings
Early drying improves your chance to salvage flooring, furniture and personal items through cleaning and deodorising.
Reduce Repair Costs
Acting early prevents ongoing damage as well as unnecessary replacements and major strip-outs.
Accelerate Recovery
Having a clear plan with regular moisture checks gets your space back to normal sooner.
Facilitate Insurance Claims
We take photos, moisture logs and concise reports to support faster decisions, and can liaise with your insurer if you wish.

How We Work
Site Assessment and Free Quote
We begin with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of water and flood damage to your property. This allows us to identify affected areas and determine restoration needs. Then, we create a tailored plan for restoration and provide a clear, obligation-free quote.
Water Extraction & Surface Preparation
Before detailed cleaning begins, we ensure the property is safe to work in, then use our specialised equipment to extract water and dry affected items and surfaces. This allows us to stop further damage and enables a smoother cleanup process.
Specialised Water Damage Treatment
Our certified technicians use advanced equipment and safe techniques in the cleanup process, which may involve restoring carpets, purifying the air, eliminating mould spores and more. Whether your property has suffered minor or major water damage, we approach every clean with precision and care.
Final Inspection and Insurance Support
After cleaning, we complete a final check to confirm safe moisture levels in your property. If required, we also provide detailed reports to your insurance company to streamline your claims process. For industrial and commercial clients, we can also arrange third-party testing for independent verification.
Insurance-Savvy Water & Flood Restoration
Navigating insurance claims can be as stressful as managing the water damage incident itself. O’Shea’s deals directly with your insurer to ensure that your claims process is as smooth and seamless as possible.
We can support you by submitting assessments, moisture logs, photos and restoration reports to your insurer, often within 8 business hours. With your authorisation, we can even liaise with them on your behalf so that you can focus on recovery.

They did a brilliant job of cleaning the site, everything has come up so much better than I expected.

Great lads, great job.

FAQs
What’s the difference between regular water damage restoration and flood cleanup?
Water damage can originate from a variety of sources, from a burst pipe or an appliance malfunction to flooding from heavy rain or storms. When the source of the water damage is flooding, this typically requires additional safety and sanitisation steps compared to standard water damage cleanup because stormwater and/or sewage may be involved.
At O’Shea’s, our team is trained and equipped to handle all types of water damage remediation, including flood cleanup. Rest assured that you are in safe hands with us.
How soon should the drying process begin?
As soon as possible. The faster the extraction and controlled drying process can begin, the less lasting damage there will be, as well as a lower risk of mould formation. For reference, mould can begin growing in damp areas within 24 to 48 hours.
How long does the water damage cleanup process take?
Most jobs take 2 to 5 days depending on materials and the extent of the damage. We provide a clear timeline after assessment. Contact us for a free quote.
Do you work after hours?
Yes. We provide after-hours flood cleaners and 24/7 response across Adelaide for emergencies and urgent cleanup.
How do you remove water from and dry out affected areas/items in the property?
We use specialised moisture detection instruments to identify the presence of moisture on floors and in walls and ceilings. If there is a large quantity of water present, we can extract it with portable and truck mounted units. Otherwise, we also have airmovers for fast airflow and dehumidifiers that remove moisture from the air, both of which contribute to the drying process.
How do you handle mould removal?
We use powerful ozone machines and air scrubbers to purify the air and remove both odour and mould spores, thus preventing the formation of mould and restoring safety and hygiene levels.
Is it safe to stay in the property during the cleanup?
For minor clean water incidents, it may be safe with precautions. For grey or black water, or if there has been extensive damage from any type of water, restricted access or temporary relocation is often advised.
Do you handle both residential and commercial water damage cleanup in Adelaide?
Yes, we do. At O’Shea’s, our team is experienced in remediating water damage in homes, commercial properties, public facilities, industrial sites and more. We can handle all types of scenarios and properties, and can tailor our cleanup services to meet your safety, budget and scheduling needs.
Can you help with insurance claims?
Yes. We offer insurer-ready documentation and, with your permission, can also communicate directly with your provider to help streamline your claim process.
