What To Do When You Find Your Property is Flooded
We May Ask Some Questions
When Did The Flood Happen? Have you just arrived back from holiday and walked in to a flooded home, office or property? This is not uncommon. Carpet and building structures soak up liquid over time, this means the longer the time that has elapsed the deeper the liquid will be. We adjust our drying strategies depending on the amount of time that has passed since the flood started.
Has the flooding stopped? You may have noticed the flood before and discarded it as an unknown cause and left it at that. Until it happened again. This can be due to a leak or overflowing that only occurs under certain circumstances. You will need to be sure that once we start to dry your property that it will not flood again.
What is the extent of the flooding? How many rooms, floors, and the size of the area is important to make sure we turn up with enough staff and equipment to remove the standing water and dry the affected space and materials quickly.
What is the source of the flooding? Depending on the source of the flood it can change the actions we take to remediate. See below for the categories and the correct methods of remediation.

- Mostly a combination of all the above items however third parties may be required to safely treat, remove, dispose or assess the materials within the flooded property
Step 2 - We're on our way. Protect your contents from further damage & take photos
Now that we are on our way and the flooding has stopped you can start to move your personal items out of the affected area into a safe location. Before you do so please take photos of the pre-existing condition of all the items, with our specialty software we will even send you a unique link to be able to send the photos directly to our flood inspection and monitoring software. If your contents are wet and damaged please leave them in a room that we will be able to put our dehumidifiers and air blowers in to dry theses contents for you.
We will need as much of your furniture off of the wet carpet as possible so we can dry the carpet effectively. If you have photos, pictures, art or expensive items hanging on the wall they should be taken down and stored safely as the machines produce a decent amount of air that may dislodge them.
If it is a grey or black water flood, the items may be unhygienic to restore and keep, therefore it may be best to dispose of theses items. Remember to take photos for insurance purposes.
