Several thousand homes on the Nerang River floodplain, including in Carrara, escaped flooding in 2017 because Hinze Dam cut peak outflows, the Queensland Government said. Don’t wait for the next warning to learn your risk. Look up your address on the City’s flood maps now, as they aren’t meant to be relied on during an event. If rain does get in, deal with wet carpet early. Queensland Health says carpet that has been waterlogged for more than two days may need removal.

Before you contact us, pin down where the water came from and if it’s still coming. Note what’s wet and how far up the walls it reached. Mention your insurer if you’ve already contacted it, and say if you’re renting. We’ll then refer you to a local restoration business that works in Carrara, with your go-ahead.
