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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my house floods?
If it is safe to do so, stop the water source if possible and contact a professional restoration company immediately. Rapid response can significantly reduce damage and help prevent mould growth.
How quickly should water damage be treated?
Ideally, within the first 24 hours. The sooner drying and restoration begin, the lower the risk of secondary damage.
Can a wet carpet be saved?
In many situations, yes. Professional extraction and drying can often restore water-damaged carpet, depending on the source of the water and the extent of damage
Can water damage cause mould?
Yes. Mould growth can begin within days if moisture remains trapped in building materials.
What happens if water gets into the walls?
Water can become trapped within wall cavities and insulation. Professional moisture detection equipment is often required to identify and dry hidden moisture.
Can O'Shea's assist with insurance claims?
Yes, we can.
We can provide assessment information, compliance documentation, and restoration reports, and we can liaise directly with insurance assessors, claims managers, and others to assist throughout the entire claims process.
Rest assured, we have experienced staff to support you from the beginning of the process, right through to completion.
