REPORT

Damages:
 
Carpet:
  • The carpets have been stained due to the air conditioning unit above failing. 
  • Water emitted from the aircon unit and bled on to the carpet subsequently staining the carpet. 
  • The affected carpet will need to be replaced as the existing carpet cannot be cleaned.
  • We have utilised the client’s price as the recommended rate. There are very few companies who do this type of carpet (Sisal – natural fiber). 
Walls:
  • Due to the aircon unit failing the water ran down the walls causing drip and bleed marks to develop along the surface of the walls. 
  • In order to return the walls to their previous condition, the walls will need to be repainted with an end to end application.
