Understanding Water Damage

Regardless of the cause, we can quickly act and help you assess problems or issues the water damage produced and start the mitigation and recovery process. Before emergency repairs are started, we remove any salvageable items and will work closely with your insurance provider.

If your business has experienced water damage, please call us immediately at  01375 847522 Water intrusion caused by a flood or a burst pipe can spread quickly throughout the building, permanently staining carpets, upholstery, books and other valuable items. Wooden furniture can swell, or begin to disintegrate, while unprotected metal surfaces can tarnish. Mould and bacteria can also grow quickly and generate sharp and/or unpleasant odours, in addition to putting you and your employees at severe health risks. Water can also cause structural damage to buildings, and if left unaddressed, doors, windows, frames, and walls can begin to warp or break. Therefore it’s important to address the problem quickly to prevent further damage. Be mindful of the unseen damage that water can leave behind as you may begin to notice discolouration in walls or unpleasant odours.

Working the Problem

After flood damage, the first step is to make sure any affected areas are dried properly and quickly. We use specialized equipment to force dry air into such areas. Before the dehumidification process begins, we make sure that the sources of the issues are dealt with. This can include areas that have water flowing into a building, leaks, plumbing and roof. We will also assess the extent of the damage and contamination to put together a repair plan.

It’s important to lower the humidity of a damaged area to prevent the damage from spreading further.

The Recovery Process

Once we assess the damage, salvageable items are carefully removed and then restored in our secure facility. We make sure to sort out printed media such as books and documents as well as computers, hard drives, and optical storage media. Everything is professionally packed, bar coded and stored in one of our warehouses before we return it to you once the restoration process is complete. Our professional document recovery services make it possible to restore documents that, until recently, would have been written off as a total loss.

We know that as long as your business is not operating, the impact increases daily and in some cases by the hour. Our professionals are trained to work quickly and efficiently to get you back in operation and in as little time as possible. Once urgent repairs have been completed, we make sure that the premises are free from contaminants and that all air ducts and HVAC systems are operational and clean.

Frequently Asked Biohazard Questions

What are the health hazards of water damage?

Water in your workplace is usually categorised as follows:

  • Clean Water (CAT 1): This is water from your home’s plumbing system. Sources for this water include your sink, water heater, and washing machine. This water is generally clean and poses little risk.
  • Gray Water (CAT 2) – This water might come from your dishwasher or bathtub and can cause illness.
  • Black Water (CAT 3) – This water is highly contaminated and usually comes from the toilet or sewer system. This water is dangerous to your health and all surfaces that contact black water must be thoroughly cleaned, disinfected or in most cases replaced.

How do you treat contaminated water from the toilet or sewer?

Most hard surfaces like tile and vinyl can be cleaned and sanitized. Porous materials like drywall, insulation, particle-board, and panelling normally are removed.

How do you dry hardwood floors?

We use a commercial drying system designed specifically to dry hardwood floors. If we cannot dry your hardwood floors we will remove the damaged wood and dry the sub-floor prior to replacing the hardwood.
