Dedicated Flood Damage Cleaning Services

Our flood damage cleaning experts are available for clients across the nation, including Lydd.

A flood during severe weather is more likely to occur if you live near a river or the coast. Cleaning a flooded property without expert assistance might be unpleasant and dangerous. Floodwater may also draw pests like rats, mice, and flies. Contaminants and dangers brought by floodwater include biological waste and exposed electrical lines.

Our experts at ICE Cleaning will arrive within a few hours to perform emergency flood damage cleaning. We drain excess water from the area and clean all floodwater-damaged surfaces.

When you talk our team, please provide as much information as possible regarding the water damage, including any pictures or videos. We use this to provide our specialists with the information they need and to tailor our strategy to your needs. We offer a free, no-obligation quote and an on-site risk assessment to find any potential dangers.

Our professional cleaners will arrive on-site to carry out the cleaning procedure using modern equipment whilst wearing the proper PPE. All water-damaged surfaces in your home are dried and cleaned using pumps, drying equipment, and HEPA systems. We won't leave the job site until you are satisfied with the outcome.

What part of your home is most vulnerable during a flood?

Due to various factors, certain parts of your home are more vulnerable to flooding than others. The area's level or its lack of protection from rising waters may be responsible for this.

If you have a basement, it is likely that this space may flood if there is local flooding. This sometimes occurs since it is at ground level or at a lower elevation. A cellar with windows or inadequate construction could quickly become flooded. If your basement has a cavity drainage system, this is avoidable.

Flooding may occur in garages as well. In contrast to a house with sealed windows and doors, a garage door contains openings where floodwater might leak in. Installing drains around the space, mounting a flood barrier on the door, and maintaining clean gutters are effective ways to keep your garage from flooding.

What to do if a property you rent is flooded

If a flood that you were not responsible for damages your home, a landlord who owns the property will be liable for the repairs. Your landlord is responsible for repairing your home and ensuring water, gas, and electricity are operational.

If your house floods, you must notify your landlord, and you may need to find temporary accommodation until it is safe to live there once again. You must discuss the terms with your landlord, but they are not required to help you find housing. You can speak to your local council for urgent assistance or call Citizens Advice for more advice or information.

What are the risks of encountering floodwater?

Anyone who encounters floodwater is exposed to various hazards. There is a danger that powerful currents, no matter how shallow they are, might sweep you 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 animals
• Dangerous or sharp debris from vehicles or structures
• Chemical waste
• Waste from people and animals
• Electrical components or fallen power lines

Floodwater may be contaminated with infections and illnesses brought on by sewage, human fluids, or pests. Floodwater should never be touched to avoid becoming ill or injured.

You should seek medical assistance immediately if you were injured by debris in the floodwater or if it exposed you to bloodborne germs. When exposed to floodwater, you run the risk of developing:

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