The Importance of Identifying the Type of Flood Water

Being able to identify the type of flood water that has affected your property is an extremely important step. Both for keeping the inhabitants of the property safe and the cleanup process. There are three types of flood water, two of which pose significant risks to health and safety. Identifying the type of flood water inside your London property will inform your decision making in terms of safety. It will also give you an accurate idea of what type of leak or event caused the flooding. The three types of flooding are:

Clean Water: Floodwater originating from clean water sources, typically connected to your property’s plumbing system. This water is devoid of bacteria and viruses; however, it should be handled cautiously during flood damage cleanup.

Grey Water: Waste generated primarily by kitchen appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines, as well as from faucets and showers. Greywater generally poses no health risks to humans, pets, or plants. It is typically non-toxic and free from diseases. But it’s important to note that it is still wastewater and not considered sanitary.

Black Water: Any water that has encountered faecal matter. Dealing with any sewage leaks, spills, or backups should be approached with extreme care. Black water is highly toxic and contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and disease-causing pathogens.

Why You Need a Flood Damage Expert

Failure to deal with the resulting damage of a property flood quickly or correctly can have far reaching and potentially very severe consequences. These consequences affect both your property and the inhabitants of it. It is important to understand that the longer flood damage goes untreated, the more likely it is for secondary damage and long-term damage to occur. Similarly, failure to correctly deal with the flood damage can have similar results. This makes hiring reputable flood damage experts that can arrive on site quickly even more important.

Mould and fungal growth are a very common form of secondary damage that can occur because of flood damage. Flood water is full of harmful bacteria and the damp conditions created by the water create a perfect environment for mould and other types of fungal growth to occur. The airborne spores can be very dangerous, causing respiratory issues to people exposed to them. Mould and fungus can also damage important structural points inside your property. Causing potentially catastrophic and expensive damage to your London property.

Electrical hazards and damage are also forms of secondary damage that can occur after an unexpected property flood. The high moisture content and potential damage to the wiring and electrical sockets inside the property can lead to these issues occurring. As well as more issues happening over time.
