How dangerous is floodwater?
Anyone who encounters floodwater is exposed to various dangers. No matter what size the waves are, there is a possibility you may get swept away if you decide to leave your house during a flood. Flood water's surface is unlikely to reveal anything underneath it, which might include:
- Pests or wildlife
- Hazardous or projectile debris from vehicles or structures
- Chemical waste
- Waste from people and animals
- Electrical objects or fallen power lines
Pathogens and viruses from sewage, body fluids, and pests may be present in floodwater. Floodwater should never be touched to avoid becoming sick or hurt.
You should seek medical assistance immediately if floodwater debris injured or exposed your body to bloodborne infections. When exposed to floodwater, you may be at risk of developing:
- Skin rashes
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Wound infections
- Tetanus
- Leptospirosis
- E. coli
- Salmonella
How to prevent flood damage in the future
Homeowners have freedom over how to protect their properties from future flooding. If you live in a high-risk area, you must consider upgrading your home to lessen the possibility of flooding.
- Put in flood-resistant windows and doors
- Paving surfaces should be replaced with permeable ones
- Make a place for storing blocks, sandbags, and flood barriers
- Any appliances should be put on higher surfaces
- Put sump pumps in your pipes
- Swap out porous flooring materials for waterproof ones
- Place expensive or electrical items on high surfaces
- Your electrical outlets should be elevated above the ground
- Place drains everywhere around your home
- Move the water supply, fuses, and boilers upstairs
- Multiple floor levels should each have their own electrical circuit
- Improve your garage with flood-resistant doors and the proper sealants

What are the types of floodwaters?
The variety of floodwater in your house may affect the cleaning procedure, your safety, and what damaged objects may be recoverable. Knowing the various types of floodwaters will help you decide how much cleaning you require and if it is safe to enter your house again after a flood.
Clearwater
This kind of water may appear free of contaminants and transparent, but it poses a risk to your belongings and house. Even after a clearwater flood, mould may still develop. If the water encounters live electrical circuits, it can be extremely deadly.
Grey Water
There will be some pollutants in this water that can make you sick if you drink it or touch it. It is comparable to contaminated water sometimes found in toilets, sump pumps, dishwashers, and washing machines.
Blackwater
This is the most hazardous type of water since it has dangerous and contagious germs that can make you sick. Blackwater is completely polluted, and because it may not always be black or have any obvious contamination, it can be challenging to spot.
