When your York home or any other property has suffered from water damage, you need to take the right action to remove as much water and moisture quickly from within the property, to prevent long term damage to it's overall structure, as well as it's fixtures and fittings. This includes not only any wooden floors and timber components that are within your property, but the properties brickwork and masonry too!
Have an emergency? Unsure what to do next with your flooded York property?
The first step should be to ensure that the building is safe to be within, and prior to you starting any water damage clean-up or flood restoration. In particular pay attention to flooded basements, flooded lower level rooms, and of course the buildings electric supply. If your York home or commercial property has no power you should enquire with the relevant utility when this is likely to be restored.
Flood water present in your York property?
When the flood water has dropped down to a level where no more water is entering your property you can now start the job of "building clean-up and recovery". The flood water will need to be removed from within your property, and depending on the severity of the situation you may need the help of several pieces of specialist equipment. The first job is to "get rid" of any standing water - this will need bailing out or preferably be pumped out by way of using a suitable water pump.
Please Note: Electric powered water pumps can only be used if you have a "safe" electric supply. If you intend on using the standard electric supply sockets that are within your York property these should be checked out first by a qualified electrician due to any possible damage that the flood water may have caused.
If they have been certified as being "safe to use" then proceed carefully, otherwise you will need an "external" power supply that could be provided either from an alternative nearby building, or by way of using a suitable portable generator.
Next stage - clean-up!
After the flood water has been removed totally from your York property it is time to start the big "clean-up".
If you are insured we recommend you use your insurance companies claim service to get the property cleaned-up in the best way, and by a professional flood damage and recovery / restoration company. If you are not insured (or if your insurance company is taking it's time to respond) you need to start the clean-up job as soon as practically possible!
Because of bacteria usually always being present in flood water it is important to take precautions with regards to health and safety by the wearing of suitable protective clothing, by wearing masks, maybe safety glasses, and of course you need to to use the right detergents. Anything that has come into contact with dirty flood water will need to be cleaned and disinfected. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after each clean up session, and wash clothes used for cleaning on a separate wash cycle from your other clothes. Also take extra care around electric sockets, switches, and light units.
To assist you with the clean-up job you could temporarily hire a few items of specialist equipment from a tool hire shop such as a wet and dry vacuum cleaner, a pressure washer, a carpet cleaner machine, maybe a floor scrubber machine, and of course not forgetting a rubbish skip!
After the clean-up!
When the cleaning-up has been done it will be time to start the recovery and restoration of your York property. After you have disposed of any fittings and fixtures that were damaged beyond recovery by the flooding it is important to start drying-out your property as soon as possible. Hopefully you will have electric power to your building to provide a power source for some lighting, heating, and the use of specialist building dryer machines such as one or more dehumidifier machines. If there is still no electric supply should consider maybe the rental of a portable generator. Read more details on generator hire.
Drying the property out!
It is important that your flood damaged York property is dried out as soon as possible and in the correct way. As well as using a heat source (maybe one or several portable heaters?) you should opt to use a building dryer machine such as an electric powered dehumidifier. If possible site several within the property to speed-up this process - as long as you have a suitable electric supply to power them!
A dehumidifier machine removes excess moisture from within the air allowing your building (or flood damaged room within) to dry out in a gentle, but fast way. Different sizes and specifications of dehumidifier machines can be rented, offering different water extraction rates as well as the turnover of the air within the property as well. When looking to obtain dehumidifier hire York you should consider how many rooms in your home or York commercial property have been affected by water damage as well as what size they are.
This can help the dehumidifier hire company recommend the right machine to suit your individual needs, as well as the quantity required to do the job.
A typical heavy duty dehumidifier that is obtained from an equipment rental provider will normally extract around 40 to 50 litres of water per day from a room, depending on the factors and other considerations such as whether the property is heated and has a reasonable air-flow through it.
The air flow can be assisted by way of using one or more simple electric fans, heating could be provided with the buildings own central heating system (providing it is usable of course) as well as by the use of portable blower heaters or electric fan heaters. Large commercial dehumidifiers can extract even more water per hour, usually with an extraction rate of around 60 to 90 litres per day, again depending on circumstances such as room temperature and ventilation airflow within the room.
