EMERGENCY FLOOD AND WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION, PERTH
Water damage spreads faster than it looks. A burst pipe, a failed hot water system, or an overflowing washing machine can saturate walls, floors, and skirting boards in hours. Cleaning Crusader provides 24/7 emergency water damage restoration across Perth, with rapid on-site response, professional extraction equipment, and insurance-ready documentation on every job.
24/7 RAPID RESPONSE
Our team attends every emergency job personally. We mobilise immediately when you call.
INSURANCE-READY REPORTING
Professional moisture mapping, before and after documentation, and insurer-ready reports.
ISO-ALIGNED PROCESSES
Every job follows ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 aligned safety and quality standards.
HOW WE RESPOND TO WATER DAMAGE IN YOUR HOME OR PROPERTY
Every water damage job is different. The scope, materials affected, and volume of water all determine the approach. What does not change is the process we follow from the moment we arrive.
Immediate On-Site Assessment
On arrival, we take moisture meter readings across the affected area to map exactly where water has travelled. Water consistently moves further than visible damage suggests, sitting behind skirting boards, inside wall cavities, and under floor coverings well beyond the obvious wet zone.
Skirting Board Removal Where Required
One of the most common causes of ongoing structural damage after a water incident is moisture trapped behind skirting boards. Even when the visible floor and wall surface appears dry, water accumulates in the cavity behind the skirting. If this is not addressed, mould grows inside the wall undetected.
Drying Equipment Deployment
We deploy a combination of high-profile blowers, low-profile blowers, and dehumidifiers, placed strategically across the affected zone based on the moisture map. Equipment type and placement is determined by the layout, materials, and volume of water involved.
Ongoing Monitoring Until Safe
We do not pack up when the floor looks dry. Moisture meter readings are taken throughout the drying period to confirm that structural materials have returned to safe moisture levels. The drying process can take anywhere from one day to several weeks, depending on the extent and materials affected.
PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT FOR WATER EXTRACTION
PROFESSIONAL MOISTURE METER
Used on arrival and throughout the remediation process to map exactly where water has penetrated. Readings are taken across floors, walls, ceilings, and skirting boards to identify the full extent of the affected zone, including areas that appear dry to the eye.
Why this matters: Without accurate moisture mapping, drying stops when the surface looks dry, not when the structure is actually safe. Moisture trapped inside materials causes ongoing damage long after the visible wet area is gone.
HIGH-PROFILE BLOWERS
Snail-shaped, high-volume air movers that push large quantities of air across walls, ceilings, and open floor areas. They are used where maximum airflow is needed to accelerate evaporation from surface and structural materials.
Key specification: One high-profile blower draws the same power as approximately three low-profile units, making them best suited to larger, open areas where power supply is not a constraint.
LOW-PROFILE BLOWERS
Flat, compact air movers that operate at significantly lower power draw than high-profile units. This allows multiple units to run simultaneously across a large job on a standard power supply, making them ideal for scaling drying operations across multiple rooms or floors.
Key specification: Up to three times as many low-profile units can operate on the same power supply as a single high-profile blower. This is critical for large-scale residential and commercial jobs.
COMMERCIAL DEHUMIDIFIERS
Work in combination with the blowers to extract moisture from the air as it evaporates from wet materials. As blowers accelerate evaporation, dehumidifiers remove the resulting airborne moisture, preventing it from reabsorbing into adjacent surfaces.
Why this matters: Blowers and dehumidifiers must be used together. Blowers alone increase airborne humidity, which can cause moisture to migrate into dry areas of the property.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you respond to natural disaster flooding?
No. Cleaning Crusader specialises in internal water damage events caused by plumbing failures, appliance failures, roof leaks, and similar internal incidents. We do not respond to natural disaster or external flood events. If you are unsure whether your situation is covered, call us directly and we will let you know immediately.
How quickly can you be on-site?
We operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Jed attends every emergency job personally. We mobilise as soon as you call. Response time depends on your location across the Perth metro area and current job commitments, but emergency callouts are always prioritised.
My walls and floor look dry. Do I still need professional assessment?
Yes. Water travels much further and deeper than visible surface damage suggests. Moisture commonly sits behind skirting boards, inside wall cavities, and under floor coverings well beyond the visible wet zone. A surface that looks and feels dry to the touch can still carry moisture levels that will cause mould to form inside the wall structure. Professional moisture meter readings are the only reliable way to confirm whether an area is genuinely safe.
How long does water damage remediation take?
It depends entirely on the scope of the incident. A smaller internal water event affecting one room may be resolved in one to two days. A significant burst pipe incident affecting multiple rooms, walls, and structural materials can take several weeks to fully remediate to a safe moisture level. We will give you a realistic timeline after the initial assessment.
Will my insurance cover the cost?
Most home and building insurance policies cover internal water damage events. We recommend contacting your insurer as soon as the incident occurs. Our documentation and reporting is prepared to the standard insurers require. If your policy covers the work, our report provides everything needed for your claim. We can also liaise directly with your insurer on request.
Can you help with mould that has already appeared?
Yes. Mould remediation is offered both as a standalone service and as part of the flood restoration process. If mould has already formed as a result of a water incident, we treat it as part of the remediation scope. We cover mould on walls, ceilings, floors, and skirting boards.
Do you remove carpet after water damage?
Where carpet and underlay can be salvaged through extraction and professional drying, we will do so. In cases where the carpet is beyond recovery or poses a hygiene risk, we can assist with removal as part of the remediation scope. This is assessed on arrival and discussed with you before any action is taken.
Do you cover wooden floors?
Wooden and timber floors are assessed individually on arrival. We do not exclude them from our scope, but our approach to wooden floors is determined by the type of timber, the extent of saturation, and the condition of the floor at the time of assessment. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
What documentation do you provide at the end of the job?
We prepare a complete report covering the initial moisture readings and zone mapping, the remediation process and equipment used, monitoring visit records, before and after photographic evidence, and final moisture readings confirming the area has returned to safe levels. This report is formatted for insurance submission.
Do you work with strata and property managers?
Yes. We are experienced in working directly with strata managers, property managers, real estate professionals, and body corporates. We understand the documentation and compliance requirements of managed properties and structure our reporting accordingly. Contact us to discuss how we can support your portfolio.
