Restoration company Steamatic Australia will start operating in WA this week.

The expansion follows the acquisition of Perth-based WA Restoration, a family-owned business that has been offering recovery services since 1997.

WA Restoration will tomorrow formally become part of Steamatic Australia, which has more than 25 service response centres nationally. The business works with insurance companies and loss adjusters providing critical post-disaster restoration services.

Based in Victoria, Steamatic Australia uses the brand under a licence agreement with US-headquartered Steamatic.
