Drying buildings in Newcastle
Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Valley sit in a humid subtropical pocket where the east coast lows come ashore. The region's mix of heritage terraces in Cooks Hill and Hamilton, lakeside homes at Warners Bay and Belmont, and heavy industry at Kooragang and Tomago gives local restorers an unusually wide spread of jobs.
The June 2007 Pasha Bulker storm flooded thousands of homes across Newcastle and the Hunter, the April 2015 storm did the same in Dungog and Maitland, and Maitland and Singleton flooded again in 2022. Every winter, prolonged rain and coastal humidity drive mould claims across the lake suburbs.

Frequently asked questions
Do you deliver to the Hunter Valley and Port Stephens?
Yes. Freight covers Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Cessnock, Singleton, Nelson Bay and the rest of the Hunter. Most deliveries arrive two to three business days after dispatch.
Which unit do restorers in Newcastle usually buy first?
The 70L is the most common first purchase. Its Panasonic compressor and 550 CFM airflow handle a flooded lounge and kitchen, and it still fits in a van with three or four air movers.
Can your equipment handle industrial jobs?
Yes. The 90L unit removes up to 105 litres a day under test conditions and the HEPA air scrubbers filter 500 CFM, so a fleet will dry and clean warehouse and factory floor space.
