It is very inexpensive and due to the absorbent quality of the rebounded foam it is almost impossible to salvage without unacceptable risk of mould. Rubber underlays are possible to salvage depending on construction. In many cases they are left until last because other more valuable items are being saved by the flood restoration Sydney team.
