Skilled Flood Damage Cleaning Services

We’ll include our ICE SHIELD® service free of charge for all flood damage cleaning customers.

Grey and black water that is a danger to you will be extracted by our professional cleaners, who deal with various water damage. Our customer service representatives can coach you through what steps to take if you believe that sewage water has contaminated your home.

After your initial discussion with our service team, our experienced specialists will be there in person to conduct a risk assessment. We will start work immediately whilst wearing the proper PPE.

We utilise modern tools like extraction pumps, drying equipment, and HEPA filter systems to dry, sanitise, and clean your property. These techniques guarantee the complete eradication of bacterial viruses and diseases from your home.

What to do if your rental home has flooded

If you do not own the property you live in, a landlord will be responsible for repairs if a flood you did not cause devastates your home. Your landlord will be liable to fix any structural damage and ensure your water, gas, and electricity are working.

You must alert your landlord if your home is flooded, which may mean you must find temporary housing until it is safe to live there again. You will need to discuss the terms with your landlord, but they are not obligated to assist you in finding housing. For more advice or information, contact Citizens Advice or talk to your local council for emergency help.

Steps to take after a flood

Prepare yourself before returning to your property if your house suffered damage during a flood. First, make sure there is no standing water around the outside. Next, look for any loose electricity wires or gas leaks.

Before you re-enter the home, you should contact a building inspector to evaluate the property if you see any visible damage, such as cracked or chipped brickwork.

To avoid mental exhaustion and burnout, you must always take care of yourself and take frequent breaks. Before completing the following steps, speak with your insurance provider if you suspect your house may have sustained significant damage. Your policy may cover professional cleaning services for your home, belongings, and cars.

• If necessary, wear safety gear such as rubber boots, gloves, face masks, goggles, and waterproof trousers like waders.
• Document the damage with images for your insurance provider.
• Ventilate the home by opening doors and windows 
• Use dehumidifiers and air purifiers in the affected areas
• Remove wet and contaminated items to dry them out 
• Discard all contaminated food, water, medications, and cosmetics 
• Contact an experienced flood damage cleaning company

Does floodwater contain diseases?

Pathogens and diseases from sewage, body fluids, and pests may be present in floodwater. Although this sometimes isn’t the case with clearwater, it is best to keep your distance. Floodwater should never be touched to avoid becoming sick or injured.

If you were injured by debris in the floodwater and exposed to bloodborne germs, you should seek medical assistance immediately. When encountering floodwater, you run the risk of developing:

• Skin rashes
• Gastrointestinal illness
• Wound infections
• Tetanus
• Leptospirosis
• E. coli
• Salmonella
