All this cold weather lately means that your pipes are more at risk of bursting ❄️

If the water in your pipes freezes, the additional pressure of the expanding water means that cracks can appear in your pipes.

Here are a few simple ways to help stop it happening at your place this winter.

If you do end up with water damage from burst pipes, we can help get your place dry in no time.

No matter what time you call, day or night, a real person picks up the phone at JAE Dunedin. Not a voicemail, not a call centre, an actual person ready to help.

📞 Call us on 03 488 0038

Our Flood Restoration technicians are available 24/7 for any water damage emergencies.

Think carpet cleaning has to wait until summer? Think again.

JAE uses superior technology for its steam cleaning with powerful extraction, which means more dirt gets cleaned away, and less moisture is left in your carpet. Minimal moisture means faster drying, even in the colder months.

We also have optional drying equipment that can be used to help speed things along further if needed.

A few extra tips to help your carpets dry faster after a clean:
- Open windows and doors when you can to keep air moving
- Use fans or a dehumidifier in the room if you have one
- Avoid walking on damp carpet or putting furniture back too soon
- Turn on your heat pump or heating to help circulate warm, dry air

Fire and smoke damage doesn't just affect your home - it can affect the things you treasure most.
It might look like a simple wipe-down will fix soot and smoke damage, but restoring items after a fire is far more complicated than it seems. Different fires leave behind different types of residue, and understanding what you're dealing with is key to restoring an item correctly, without causing further damage.
This piece is proof that with the right expertise, even fire-damaged treasures can be brought back to life.

When it comes to flood restoration we always get asked how long will it take?

The honest answer is - it depends on a lot of factors. Here's some of what actually drives the timeline:

Localised or widespread? A burst hot water cylinder in one room dries out a lot faster than a natural disaster flood that's swept through the whole house.

How much water, and how clean is it? A small leak is a different job to a room full of contaminated flood water - contaminated water needs extra care to make sure everything's fully dried and treated, not just dry to the touch.

What it's soaked into. Carpet, underlay, timber floors and walls all hold onto moisture differently, so each material needs its own drying time. In more serious cases, like what you can see in Jerry's job here, there may also be some repair work required, but often for smaller flood jobs we are able to successfully dry out materials.

Disaster Experts 🚨
JAE have many years of experience with flood disaster restoration. In the event of a state of emergency it's all hands on deck - we'll send technicians from around the country to the affected area/s and increase our office support to help as many people as quickly as we can.

We also use the latest drying and monitoring technology, to ensure we complete the jobs as quickly and effective as possible.

Did you know steam cleaning works by pumping hot water deep into your carpet fibres to release dirt, then extracting the water and grime to leave your carpets fresh and clean?

Our powerful van-mounted equipment packs serious power, which means minimal water is left behind, so your carpets dry faster and are ready to enjoy sooner.

We also have drying equipment that can be used to expedite the drying process, particularly in the cooler months.

Why stop at the carpets?
It’s great to see one of our regular carpet cleaning customers just as satisfied with our blind cleaning service. When it comes straight from the customer that the blinds look brand new, you know you've done a great job!

Thanks for the glowing review, Lynne 🌟
