Services Available Across Our Coverage Area

Mould inspection and remediation

Assessment considers visible growth, moisture conditions, affected materials and the likely extent of contamination. Remediation may include source control recommendations, containment, HEPA air filtration, controlled material removal and detailed cleaning. Learn about mould removal in Melbourne.

Water and flood damage restoration

Water can migrate beneath flooring, into wall cavities, cabinetry, insulation and structural materials. Services may include extraction, moisture mapping, dehumidification, structural drying and documented monitoring. View water damage restoration services.

Fire and smoke restoration

After the responsible authority releases a property as safe, ARS can assess accessible soot, smoke residue, odour sources and firefighting-water damage. View fire and smoke restoration services.

How Attendance Is Confirmed

  1. Call or submit an enquiry. Provide the suburb, property type and service required.
  2. Describe the incident. Explain when it occurred, what areas are affected and whether damage is still spreading.
  3. Identify immediate hazards. Mention sewage, chemicals, electrical risks, structural damage, fire residue or vulnerable occupants.
  4. Confirm access and authority. We may need owner, manager or insurer details before work begins.
  5. Receive the next-step advice. ARS will advise whether inspection, emergency mitigation or further information is required.

Residential, Commercial and Managed Properties

ARS works across houses, apartments, offices, retail premises, warehouses, educational facilities, strata properties and other accessible sites. Each project is scoped according to observed conditions rather than a fixed package.

Where insurance is involved, ARS can provide agreed restoration documentation and communicate about the scope of work. Claim approval and policy coverage remain decisions for the insurer.
