5,000+ Melbourne properties restored — every single one still mould-free
Since 2007, The Squeaky Clean Team has completed more than 5,000 emergency water extractions across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula — from single bedroom apartments flooded by burst pipes to multi-floor commercial buildings hit by sprinkler malfunctions.
We’re IICRC certified, work directly with major Australian insurers, and use truck-mounted extraction equipment powerful enough to remove 95% of water in a single visit. Our technicians carry thermal imaging cameras to find hidden moisture that standard equipment misses — protecting your subfloor, walls and skirting boards from damage you won’t see until it’s too late.
Every job we take on comes with one commitment: your carpet extracted, dried and restored properly — or we come back until it is.
Not every wet carpet needs replacing — but the type of water event usually decides how quickly you need to act. If any of the following have happened, it’s worth calling us straight away:
The sooner the water’s out, the better your chances of saving the carpet, underlay and flooring underneath — and the lower the risk of mould, bacteria or odour setting in.
Our technicians use moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify all affected areas, including hidden moisture pockets in underlay and subfloors.
Using powerful truck-mounted or portable extraction units, we remove 95% of water from your carpets and underlay — far more effective than shop vacuums or rental equipment. Our industrial extraction equipment removes up to 85% more water than consumer-grade wet vacuums, dramatically reducing drying time and significantly lowering your risk of mould growth.
We implement the specialised “float drying” technique where appropriate, lifting the carpet to dry the underlay and subfloor directly, rather than drying from the surface only. This requires carpet laying skill most restoration companies don’t have in-house, which is why it’s rarely offered even though it’s the faster, more thorough method. Carpet is typically dry within 48 hours as a result.
Our commercial grade dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air, preventing it from reabsorbing into carpets and minimising humidity that promotes mould growth.
We apply professional grade antimicrobial treatments to prevent mould and bacteria growth, then verify complete drying with moisture meters before finalising the job.
If it’s safe to do so, a few quick steps before we get there can help limit the damage:
