The first step is establishing containment to prevent cross-contamination. This involves setting up negative air pressure zones using HEPA-filtered air scrubbers and sealing off unaffected areas. Our technicians operate in full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as required for handling biohazards.
Standing blackwater and solid waste are removed using high-volume extraction units, like our truck-mounted hydro-jetters and specialized submersible pumps designed for high-solids content. We ensure the complete removal of all visible contamination from both permeable and non-permeable surfaces.
Porous materials that have absorbed Category 3 water, such as plasterboard, carpet, underlay, and non-structural wood, must be cut out and removed. Per the S500 standard, these materials cannot be effectively sanitized and must be discarded according to local regulations. Our team will cut drywall to a clean line, typically at least 300mm above the flood line, to prepare for drying.
After removing contaminated materials, all remaining structural elements, like framing and concrete slabs, are meticulously cleaned. We apply a hospital-grade botanical disinfectant, not a high-fragrance masking agent, to neutralize pathogenic bacteria and viruses.
We deploy a specific configuration of commercial-grade LGR (Low-Grain Refrigerant) dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers. We monitor the drying process with non-invasive moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, aiming to bring timber framing below the 16% moisture content threshold required by the QBCC before any reinstatement can begin.
