CASE STUDY: Water Tank Overflow Restoration and Drying Success

On 25 November 2025, Elite Restoration technicians attended a commercial property following a reported water tank overflow, classified as Category 1 clean water.

The incident affected multiple areas, including a carpeted lounge space and a concrete-floor storage zone.

Initial findings showed elevated moisture levels, confirmed through thermal imaging and moisture readings, with relative humidity recorded at 72%.

In the carpeted lounge area, wet flooring and active moisture presence were identified, particularly within the entry and lobby zones.

On the upper level storage area, localised water pooling was observed around stored items, while the concrete surface remained damp but was naturally draining.

Elite Restoration conducted a full moisture assessment, performed thermal imaging, and carried out initial water extraction to stabilise the affected areas.

To ensure complete drying and prevent secondary damage such as mould or odour, drying equipment was installed and left operational for six days.

Upon return, Elite Restoration confirmed that the carpeted areas had reached a dry standard consistent with Level 1, while the concrete flooring recorded a low moisture level of 3.4%.

All equipment was then removed, and the site was cleaned, leaving the property safe, dry, and ready for normal use.
