When a tornado wreaked havoc on a dual-living property on the Gold Coast, the damage was extensive and overwhelming. The aftermath included widespread water intrusion and subsequent mould growth, making the home unsafe and uninhabitable. Steamatic Gold Coast stepped in with a clear goal: to restore the property swiftly and safely, ensuring the family could return home without delay.
The Challenge
The dual-living property presented several complex obstacles:
Significant Damage: The event caused damage to 24 rooms within the property over 2 levels. Mould had infiltrated particle board subfloors, which had to be removed to facilitate the sanding of the floor joists.
Recurring Water Intrusion: New water ingress occurred during the remediation process which added complexity and urgency to the project.
Containment Requirements: To prevent further contamination, large areas of the home were isolation with specialised containment measures.
Coordination with Rebuilding Works: Close collaboration with the builder was essential to align restoration and remediation, ensuring the family could return home as quickly as possible.
The Solution
Steamatic Gold Coast remediated the water and mould-affected dual-living property.
Exceptional project management coupled with dedicated communication with the builder, ensured remediation and rebuilding works progressed smoothly and without delays.
Innovative techniques and equipment deployed ensured the particle board subfloor dried, preventing further damage and mould spread.
A temporary floor was installed on the first floor, allowing technicians to safely sand down the upper floor joists in preparation for restoration.
Containment and hygiene measures were implemented. A large containment zone was established to isolate affected areas, ensuring mould spores did not spread to unaffected parts of the property.
Comprehensive cleaning and decontamination processes were carried out, adhering to industry best practices.
Hygienist clearance was achieved, ensuring the property met strict hygienist standards and providing confidence that the home was fully restored.
The Outcome
Steamatic Gold Coast’s quick action, innovative techniques, and strong collaboration with the builder led to a successful and timely remediation. The property was restored to a safe and habitable state, allowing the family to return home with peace of mind.
