- Standing-water extraction
- Moisture inspection and mapping
- Structural drying and dehumidification
- Carpet and floor-system assessment
- Contaminated-water controls where required
- Drying monitoring and documentation where agreed

Flood restoration may include extraction, contamination assessment, moisture mapping and monitored drying.
Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration
After the responsible emergency authority releases a fire-affected property as safe, ARS can assess accessible soot, smoke residue, odours and firefighting-water damage. Cleaning trials help match the method to the residue and substrate.
- Post-fire restoration assessment
- Soot and smoke-residue cleaning
- HEPA vacuuming and filtered air management
- Odour-source identification and treatment
- Water extraction and structural drying after firefighting
- Contents and material salvageability assessment
Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Melbourne
Fire restoration begins after authorised safe access and can include residue cleaning, air management and post-fire drying.
Mould Inspection and Remediation
Mould may be associated with leaks, condensation, inadequate ventilation, ground moisture or previous water damage. Effective remediation addresses both the contamination and the conditions allowing moisture to remain.
- Mould and moisture inspections
- Thermal imaging as a supporting tool
- Containment and HEPA-filtered air management
- Physical removal and detailed cleaning
- Subfloor and ventilation assessment
- Post-remediation review or independent verification where appropriate

Specialist Environmental Services
Biohazard Remediation
Sewage, bodily fluids and other biological contamination require restricted access, suitable protective equipment and incident-specific cleaning or material removal. View Biohazard Remediation Services.
Drug Residue and Clandestine Remediation
ARS provides authorised property assessment, surface sampling and remediation for suspected methamphetamine or illicit-drug residue. Active laboratories and police-controlled sites remain emergency-authority matters. View Drug Residue Testing.
Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation
Moisture, particulates, ventilation and building conditions can contribute to indoor environmental concerns. Services include indoor air quality assessments, subfloor ventilation and Energy Recovery Ventilation.
Our Restoration Process
1. Initial Triage
We gather the incident type, suburb, property use, affected areas, known hazards and any emergency-authority or insurer involvement.
2. Site Assessment
After safe and authorised access is confirmed, technicians assess accessible damage, moisture, contamination, materials and operational constraints.
3. Stabilisation and Controls
Initial actions may include extraction, work-area isolation, protection of unaffected areas, HEPA air management or other measures suited to the incident.
4. Investigation and Scope
Moisture readings, thermal imaging where useful, observations and project information help define the work. Repairs may require plumbers, electricians, engineers, roofers or other licensed professionals.
5. Restoration or Remediation
Approved work may include drying, cleaning, material removal, soot treatment, mould remediation or contamination-specific decontamination.
6. Monitoring and Handover
Accessible areas are reviewed against the agreed scope. Photographs, drying records, recommendations or reports are provided where included, with repair or verification needs identified where appropriate.
Residential, Commercial and Strata Properties
ARS supports houses, apartments, retail premises, offices, warehouses, hospitality venues and managed buildings. Larger or occupied projects may require staged access, work-zone isolation and coordination with owners, tenants, managers, insurers and licensed trades.
Insurance Documentation
Where agreed, ARS can provide photographs, moisture readings, drying logs, damage observations and restoration recommendations. These records may support assessment, but insurers determine policy coverage, authorisation and reimbursement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ARS available 24 hours?
You can call 1300 114 842 at any time for urgent triage. Attendance depends on location, site safety, access, project requirements and technician availability.
When should I call emergency services?
Call 000 or the relevant authority for fire, medical emergencies, gas, live electricity, structural instability, hazardous chemicals or any immediate threat to people.
Can all damaged materials be restored?
No. Salvageability depends on contamination, physical damage, heat or water exposure, material type and project requirements. Some materials require controlled removal.
Do you work with insurers and property managers?
Yes. ARS works with owners, managers, builders, insurers and loss adjusters. Documentation depends on the agreed scope, while claim decisions remain with the insurer.
Can thermal imaging find hidden moisture or mould?
Thermal imaging shows surface-temperature patterns and does not directly measure moisture or detect mould. ARS interprets it with moisture readings, observations and building information.
What areas do you service?
ARS services metropolitan Melbourne and selected surrounding areas. Call to confirm current availability for your location and project.
