Rapid Demo’s Emergency Services for Flood-Affected Properties

Why Flood Cleanup Demolition Can’t Wait

Floods in regional NSW leave homes filled with dangerous debris, unstable structures, and hidden health risks like mould and asbestos. As emergency flood demolition experts, Rapid Demo helps families in flood zones turn disaster zones into clean, safe sites – fast.

This guide explains how our 24/7 flood cleanup services protect your health, follow NSW laws, and speed up rebuilding.

3 Flood Damage Risks You Can’t Ignore

1. Asbestos in Older NSW Homes
   Over 32% of pre-1990 NSW properties contain deadly asbestos materials . Floodwaters smash these into airborne fibres that cause lung cancer. Our licensed emergency demolition teams:

• Seal contamination zones with thick poly sheeting
• Use negative air pressure systems to trap fibres
• Dispose at NSW-approved sites like Dial-A-Dump
  See service areas

2. Hidden Structural Collapse Risks
   Flood-affected buildings often look safe but hide:

• Rotten timber frames (even under fresh paint)
• Cracked concrete slabs from eroded soil
• Rusted steel supports in walls
  We scan properties with 3D ground-penetrating radar before using remote-controlled excavators for safe takedowns .

1. Toxic Soup Contamination
   Floodwater mixes:
   ☢️ Raw sewage
   ☢️ Farm pesticides
   ☢️ Industrial chemicals
   Our EPA-compliant process:
2. Test soil for Category 1 hazards
3. Separate recyclables (60%+ concrete/metal saved)
