Our Flood Damage Clean Up Process in London

Flooding is one of the worst situations that can happen to a London office building or home; the destruction that water can cause is heart-breaking. With our specialist teams on hand, we can be onsite within 60 minutes of your call and start the pumping procedure to eradicate all of the water out of the building.

The entire premises will need to be evacuated, preferably before our technicians arrive onsite so they can get started straight away to minimise further damage caused by the toxins festering in the water. 

Once all of the water has been pumped back out of the building, our project manager will have the opportunity to assess the extent of the damage. We will record any structural damage we see, along with any object we believe will either need to undergo a drying and disinfecting procedure or will need to be disposed of.

Our technicians will do their absolute best to salvage as many items as possible, but depending on the type of water that came along with the flood, sometimes the object poses too much of a health risk if kept. 

It is imperative to ensure the entire area that was affected is thoroughly dried and dehumidified to avoid the possibility of black mould growing and from any type of foul odour. Both of which pose a significant health risk if inhaled for a long duration.

Common Types Of Water That Occurs Within London Floods

As we have been in the business for over a decade now, we have unfortunately been called out to several London emergency flood situations. However, it has allowed us to understand the different types of floods there are that usually occur within London.  We have narrow down the main types of flood cases to three, the first being greywater;

Greywater
This type of water will contain various kinds of microorganisms. They pose a moderate risk to human health if ingested. Greywater cannot be allowed to sit and must be dealt with immediately by a professional, no matter how small the flood; otherwise, it can quickly turn into black water.

Blackwater
More often than not, black water damage has stemmed from groundwater flooding or sewage waste. One of the most common reasons for black water to be flooding through your London apartment or office building is due to a toilet blockage.

This type of water is hazardous to human health, faeces matter and other biohazardous toxins will be within this type of water. A professional flood damage London specialist needs to be called out immediately to pump the blackwater back out of the property to minimise the amount of damage caused. 

Clean Water
More often than not, this type of water is from a leak, usually within the kitchen. This water is not any cause for concern when it comes to human health, but can still cause structural damage to the property.
