Damp proofing, wet rot, woodworm and property refurbishment services in Dorset and Hampshire
A flood can devastate any property, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the world if you take effective steps to stop the flood and protect your possessions. We asked our flood damage experts for their advice on how to fix up after flooding.
Before you do anything else, make sure that the flood doesn't get any worse by stopping the flow of water if you can. A lot of floods are caused by burst pipes, so turn off the main water line before proceeding any further.
With big floods in any property, switching off the power is a priority. Remember not to handle electrical appliances unless you know they’re safe and don’t stand in the water when you turn the electricity off, unless otherwise instructed by an electrician.
Take lots of pictures to show your insurance company of the damage and work out exactly how you’re going to proceed with the clean-up. If possible, save the most important items and belongings from the water, but try not to prioritise this whilst the property’s still being damaged.

Rising damp is an all-too-common issue that can affect homes of all shapes and sizes, especially older properties. It can cause problems like damp patches, mould, and even structural damage - issues that can be both expensive and time-consuming to fix.
