Thorough cleaning and decontamination is required following any type of flooding incident. In this project, we restored a residential outdoor area affected by standing water, debris, and contamination.
This project involved a residential property affected by flooding, which left standing water, debris, and contamination across the outdoor surfaces. Immediate action was required to ensure the area was safe and to prevent further structural or health issues.
Flooding leaves behind more than just visible water. The affected surfaces were contaminated with dirt, bacteria, and residue, making it unsafe for use until a full flood damage clean up was carried out.
Our team carried out a thorough cleaning and decontamination process. This involved removing standing water, pressure washing affected surfaces, and applying treatments to neutralise harmful bacteria and contaminants.
We also used our Water Removal and Water Extraction services to ensure all excess water was removed before drying and disinfection.
As part of the moisture survey, we performed Salts Test Analysis to check for chlorides and nitrates. This helps diagnose pre existing issues before carrying out water damage building drying, improving the drying strategy and reducing the risk of recurring damp problems.
The result was a safe, clean, and fully restored outdoor space. The surfaces were disinfected and dried to reduce the risk of mould growth and long term damage.
This case highlights how knowing how to clean up after flood damage with the right tools and methods ensures effective and lasting results.
For flood incidents, prompt water extraction and professional drying are essential to protect the property and reduce secondary damage.
