The water that came through the flood of mid-February, carried with it biological contaminants which in turn affected many businesses, properties and homes in the Townsville region. The flooding event, brought with it high humidity, creating a conducive environment for mould growth. These two factors can be hazardous to the health of the occupants and are highly recommended that they be remediated as soon as possible. NLR set up operations in Townsville quickly, helping residents, businesses and property owners restore their property to make-safe/pre-loss conditions. NLR has already completed over 100 claims to flooded properties in the Townsville region. #What We Do Pressure cleaning Due to biological contaminants, we offer pressure cleaning to remove as much of it from concrete and brick surfaces as possible. Removing Porous materials Where building materials are not recoverable and are biological contaminated Anti-microbial treatment Using specialised anti-microbial solutions, Technicians treat the floors, walls, ceilings and surfaces, to help kill and remove biological contaminants from the floodwaters as well as the subsequent mould. Contents management NLR understand that the floodwaters and mould have affected many items in households, businesses and properties. Technicians are able to remediate affected contents and itemise any items that are non-restorable. This can include furniture, clothes, linen, objects etc. Upon authorisation, NLR Technicians can dispose of affected contents. All items are included in a detailed and itemised report. Drying equipment Specialising in water damage restoration, NLR has a fleet of drying equipment. After cleaning the biological contaminants, air movers are installed to move the air, in combination with Dehumidifiers to take the moisture out of the air, this effectively and safely dries the property, even though floorboards, walls and ceilings. For large water damage loss such as warehouses, shopping centres or businesses, NLR has large desiccant dehumidifiers with units of 2000 and 5000 CFM (cubic feet per minute), that can dry very large areas in low temperatures.
