Flood and water damage Restoration Process
Below are steps usually involved in the flood and water damage restoration process:
1. Safety Assessment
Flood damage restoration ensures the safety of the occupants and restoration workers. A detailed safety assessment is conducted to identify hazards, such as electrical or structural damage, contaminated water, or mold growth. Professionals trained in flood restoration know how to navigate these risks and take appropriate precautions.
2. Water Extraction
Standing water from the property must be removed. Industrial-grade pumps, vacuums, and other specialized equipment are used to extract the water efficiently. All visible water is removed and further water damage to the structure and contents of the property is protected.
3. Moisture Detection and Assessment
After the visible water is removed, moisture may still be present in walls, floors, and other structural elements. Moisture detection tools, such as moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, are used to assess the extent of moisture intrusion. This step points out the areas that require further drying and restoration.
4. Drying and Dehumidification
Proper drying and dehumidification are crucial to prevent secondary damage, such as mold growth and structural deterioration. Air movers, dehumidifiers, and specialized drying techniques are employed to remove excess moisture from the affected areas. Our professionals closely monitor the drying process to ensure that moisture levels are brought back to acceptable levels.
5. Mold Remediation
Mold quickly develops in damp environments following a flood. Mold growth is a major health risk and can further damage the property. Mold remediation involves identifying and treating areas affected by mold growth. Our professionals use techniques to safely remove mold and prevent its reoccurrence.
6. Structural Repairs
Floods cause significant damage to the structural components of a property. Structural repairs may be necessary to restore the integrity of walls, floors, ceilings, and other affected areas. Our professionals can assess the damage and carry out the repairs, ensuring that the property is structurally sound.
7. Cleaning and Sanitization
Floodwaters carry contaminants, bacteria, and other hazardous substances. Thorough cleaning and sanitization are crucial to eliminate these contaminants and ensure a safe and healthy living environment. Our professionals use cleaning agents and techniques to sanitize affected surfaces, furniture, and belongings.
8. Restoration and Reconstruction
Once the property is cleaned and sanitized, the restoration process begins. This involves repairing or replacing damaged materials, such as flooring, drywall, insulation, and electrical systems. Our professionals work to restore the property to its pre-flood condition, ensuring that it is safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.
Things to Do Immediately During or After a Flood
  • Evacuate if you are told to do so.
  • Stay tuned to local news for updates on flooded areas, road closures, and re-entry points.
  • Avoid flooded areas and standing water.
  • Water may be contaminated or electrically charged. If you see downed power lines, report them to the power company.
  • Floodwaters can contain raw sewage, bacteria, viruses, and other germs that can cause disease.
  • Watch for critters such as snakes, raccoons, possums, and insects that may have “moved” into your evacuated home, since they too look for shelter and relief from floodwaters.
  • Clean and disinfect everything that has come into contact with floodwaters.
  • Do not drive through floodwaters.

    Where there’s water damage, there’s always a risk that mould will start growing. In fact, you only have 48-72 hours to get your property dry. That’s not a lot of time, and it will be difficult to do without professional drying equipment that is used correctly. The sooner you can get started recovering your property, the better your chances of a simpler, less expensive restoration.

    You and other family members’ safety is of the utmost importance. You should move to a higher part of your home and call for assistance, or if possible, leave the property by a safe, dry route. Call 999 immediately if anyone is in danger and needs rescuing.
    Once you have vacated the property, you will need to notify your landlord or insurance company that the property has been flooded. They should then arrange emergency/temporary accommodation for you.
    Once you have been told it’s safe to re-enter the property, you will need to document everything you see, so that you can show your insurer the extent of the damage. Once the damage is properly documented you should next contact Alpha Building Restoration Ltd to assess and repair the damage.
