What you can expect
Depending on the severity of the situation and if there’s still flood water present, a typical approach to flood damage cleaning would be:
- Flood water extraction: Extract any remaining flood water from the affected area using the best water extraction technology available in the market. The use of wet vacs and water extraction pumps along with other innovative equipment make the flood water removal process extremely efficient.
- Sanitisation: This stage is recommended in any situation where a level of flooding has occurred but where sewage has contaminated flood water. Once this is completed, our water damage experts will perform testing on the surfaces to confirm a significant reduction in contamination. You can also request a physical copy of the results.
- Mitigation: Following a flood, it’s important to start the drying process as soon as possible. This mitigates the risk of any mould growing should damp remain once the flood water is extracted.
- Surveying: Once the flooded area has been thoroughly dried one of our surveyors will visit the property to assess the damage. There may also be a case for further drying based on the results of the survey.
At Ideal Response we work towards reducing the need to strip out elements of the affected flooded area in line with the requirements of insurers and our commitment to sustainability and Net Zero.
