Consultant Flood Damage Cleaning Services

We use only the latest, industry-leading tools and equipment to carry out our flood damage cleaning services in Cranbrook.

Our certified cleaners, who deal with various floodwaters, will handle grey and black water that is too hazardous for you to clean. If you suspect that sewage water has polluted your house, our customer service staff can walk you through the steps to protect yourself.

Following the conclusion of your initial contact with us, one of our qualified experts will attend in person to perform a risk assessment. Following that, we will begin working with appropriate PPE.

We use modern technology like extraction pumps, drying equipment, and HEPA filter systems to dry, disinfect, and clean your property. These methods ensure that infections and bacterial viruses are not present in your house.

Is flood water dangerous?

Floodwater presents various risks to anyone who interacts with it in any way. If you choose to leave your home in a flood, there is a chance you may get swept away by strong currents, regardless of how shallow they are.

Cars and parts of buildings are easily carried by strong flow, and you are unlikely to see what is beneath the surface of flood water, which may include:

• Pests or wildlife
• Harmful or sharp debris from cars or buildings
• Chemical waste
• Human and animal waste
• Electrical items or downed power lines

What can you keep after a flood?

After a flood has devastated your home, you may be concerned that your items are unsalvageable. However, some can be saved and restored. These processes may be costly depending on the severity of the damage and the type of material it is but can be worth it in the end.

If you have returned to your property within 48 hours after a flood, you may be able to salvage most of the furniture and the building's structure. After 48 hours, however, items may be too contaminated to save and must be thrown away. Bacteria will have thrived across your furniture, and mould may grow quickly.

You must contact emergency professional cleaning services to salvage your home and items. Clothes can be disinfected and cleaned by an experienced clothing cleaning company. However, food, water, medicine, cosmetics, and children’s toys will be too risky to keep after a flood. You must dispose of them right away.
