Victorian Floods

During the February floods in Victoria UMS was heavily involved with the provision of restoration services to a number of customers.

A number of buildings in Bayside, Cardinia, Hobsons Bay, Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Ranges Councils were affected by the flooding, including kindergartens, sporting pavilions, libraries, aged care units and other community buildings.

In addition, UMS assisted Monash City Council with clean up and restoration of private dwellings for residents involved in their Home and Community Care program.

UMS provided a range of services including:

• Assessment
• Drying and De-humidifying
• Antimicrobial spraying
• Floor covering removal and replacement/recovery
• Electrical safety checks
• Restoration works. E.g. plastering, painting
• Plumbing works

All of these services were prioritised and managed by UMS with particular priority placed on the restoration of community services like kindergartens and residential facilities to minimise the impact on user groups and individuals.
