When it comes to recovering from flood and water damage, time is of the essence. Cleanup should begin as quickly as possible to avoid floors from buckling. Because a flood can leave behind debris and dangerous contaminants, it’s best to call a professional who offers timely flood damage repair. Water damage, such as a burst pipe that requires basement flood damage repair, also has a unique set of challenges that might require a professional—especially if there are electronic devices involved in the flood. So how do you deal with flood damage? There are some things you can do right away to minimise your damage.
Ten things you can do right away (wear protective gloves and gear, of course):
Five things you definitely should not do:
The most common issues that we see include:
It might not feel like it at the moment but, if your home or business has experienced a flood or water damage, all is not lost. Northern Restorations’ professional flood damage repair has helped many people in West Yorkshire and northern UK get their lives back to normal.
We also offer responsive commercial flood damage repair services. We understand that businesses have their own unique set of challenges to overcome.
Whether for homes or businesses, our flood and water damage experts employ several methods to restore properties. The first step is to assess the extent of the damage to determine the appropriate course of action. This is an important step because, before a plan is formed, we need to identify the source of the water to evaluate the level of contamination as well as check for any structural damage.
The next obvious step is to remove any standing water and excess moisture from the building. Our specialists can bring a range of specialised equipment to optimally extract water, including pumps, dehumidifiers, and air movers. It’s critical this step happens as soon as possible to avoid irreparable structural damage to walls, wood floors, and joists. This also helps reduce the risk of mould growth.
Once the water is removed, our flood damage repair experts begin drying and dehumidifying all affected areas. This may involve using heaters, fans, and other equipment to speed up the drying process. How long does it take to dry a house after a flood? This process can take a few weeks to ensure a thorough enough job to prevent mould from growing inside walls, nooks and crannies.
After everything is dried, your Northern Restorations team thoroughly cleans and disinfects all surfaces and contents to remove any bacteria, mould, or other contaminants that may have accumulated.
The final step is to restore your property to its pre-damaged condition, depending on the severity of the damage and the materials used in the building. This may involve repairing or replacing damaged structures, such as drywall or flooring, as well as any electrical or plumbing systems that were affected by the water damage.
Repairing drywall involves cutting out sections that got waterlogged or mouldy. After removing the damaged drywall, our experts inspect the framing to ensure it is not damaged. If there is damage, the framing will also need to be replaced. We then install new drywall, creating a seamless wall that will match the surrounding walls once painted.
If your hardwood flooring is waterlogged, mould-ridden, or warping beyond repair, it may have to be removed and replaced. We’ll also check your subfloor to ensure it’s not damaged. Waterlogged wall-to-wall carpet should be replaced because mould can otherwise thrive underneath.
The key to repairing ceramic, stone, or porcelain tiles damaged by flood is to check the substrate, such as concrete or backerboard. If there is damage, the substrate will need to be repaired or replaced and new tiles installed. The final step is to grout the new tiles and seal them to prevent future water damage.
Throughout the restoration process, our skilful flood damage repair specialists will work closely with you to ensure repairs are completed as quickly as possible and to your complete satisfaction.
