A burst pipe. A flooded flat. Wet carpets. Panic mode. Don’t worry — you’re not alone.

Water damage is overwhelming, but quick action can limit the destruction.
Here’s what to do next:

Step 1: Shut off the Water Supply
Prevent further flooding by closing the main valve.

Step 2: Turn Off Electricity to Affected Areas
Water and electricity do not mix. Be safe and shut off power near the flooded zone.

Step 3: Call The Kleening Guy Immediately
We offer 24/7 emergency water extraction across Cape Town.
Our team arrives quickly to remove water, dry out your space, and prevent mold
and long-term damage.

Why Speed Matters
Within 24–48 hours, damp carpets and flooring can develop mold.
Drying the surface is not enough — we use specialized extraction tools to remove
water trapped underneath.

Step 4: Document the Damage
Take photos and videos for your insurance. This helps with claims and estimates.

Step 5: Let Professionals Do the Rest
We’ll handle:

• Extracting water from carpets, underlays, hard floors
• Drying and deodorizing the area
• Preventing secondary damage (warping, mold, mildew)
• Supporting you through the cleanup process
