Services Available Across Our Coverage Area

Mould inspection and remediation

We assess visible mould, dampness and affected materials. The work may include containment, HEPA filtration, detailed cleaning and removal of materials that cannot be saved. We also explain any moisture-control work needed. Learn about mould removal in Melbourne.

Water and flood damage restoration

Water can spread under floors and into walls, cupboards and insulation. We may extract water, map affected areas and set up drying equipment. Moisture readings track progress against the project drying goals. View water damage restoration services.

See our Melbourne apartment water-leak restoration case study for an example of moisture investigation, hidden mould remediation and structural drying beneath affected flooring.

Fire and smoke restoration

Once the relevant authority has released the site and access is safe, we assess accessible soot, smoke residues and odour sources. We also check for water damage from firefighting. View fire and smoke restoration services.

Indoor environmental and specialist services

Other services include indoor air quality assessment, biohazard cleanup, drug-residue testing and clandestine laboratory remediation. We review each request to confirm the scope, access and availability.

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

We work in houses, apartments, offices, shops, warehouses, educational facilities and strata buildings. The scope sets out the affected areas, planned work and access limits.

Where agreed, we provide work records and communicate with the authorised insurer or property manager. The insurer decides policy cover and claim approval.
