When you call one of our helpful customer service specialists, we will create a bespoke plan to suit your needs. We will ask for pictures and videos to determine the amount of water damage and provide you with a free, no-obligation quotation.

How to act after a flood
If you are trapped or stranded on your property once a flood has passed, you should contact emergency services for rescue. If you touched or ingested any floodwater, you must visit a hospital or emergency clinic for an assessment.
However, if you are returning to the property after evacuation, you must not enter your property unless it is safe to do so. Before returning, you should talk to emergency services to see if it is safe. There may be standing water around your home that has caused power lines to become loose or leak gas.
If you spot any damage around the exterior, like chipped or cracked brickwork, a building inspector must evaluate the property first to assess if it is safe to enter. You can also talk to your insurance provider and follow their advice before proceeding with the following:
- Protecting yourself with rubber gloves, boots, face masks, goggles, and waterproof over trousers
- Recording evidence of damage for insurance
- Discarding contaminated water, food, medicines, and cosmetics
- Removing wet and dirtied items to dry out
- Ventilating the home with open doors and windows
- Use dehumidifiers and air purifiers in ventilated rooms
- Contact a professional flood damage cleaning company near you
What can happen after water floods your home?
A home with poor ventilation and retains warmth can become a hotbed for bacterial and mould growth after a flood has invaded the premises. There may be an amount of humidity and excess moisture across the home other than the flooded or water-damaged rooms.
If your property is not drained of these elements, mould might grow on the walls, ceilings, floors, and furniture. This could accelerate if the home remains damp and warm, and mould growth will require immediate remediation.
As well as mould, there is the possibility that surfaces have become a breeding ground for infectious viruses such as salmonella and E. coli. These pathogens can multiply quickly without immediate decontamination, making your home unsafe.
