A staggering 9 million homes across the UK are at risk of flooding. This stark statistic highlights the widespread impact that flooding can have on communities and individuals. From coastal erosion and rising sea levels to overflowing rivers and sudden bursts of heavy rainfall, the causes of flooding are diverse and often unpredictable.
Whether it's a burst pipe in a residential property, a flash flood overwhelming a city centre, or rising groundwater affecting a rural village, the consequences are equally devastating. Homes, businesses, and infrastructure can be severely damaged, leaving behind a trail of disruption and distress. The aftermath of a flood presents not only physical challenges but also potential health hazards due to contaminated water and the risk of mould growth.
Flood water can contain a variety of harmful substances, including sewage, chemicals, and debris. These contaminants can pose serious health risks, such as infections, skin irritations, and respiratory problems. It is crucial to avoid direct contact with flood water and to wear protective gear during cleanup efforts.
Rentokil Specialist Hygiene follows a comprehensive process to ensure the effective restoration of your property following flood damage. Here's how we tackle the problem step-by-step:
Once the flood levels outside the property have receeded we can remove any excessive water using puddle pumps and wet dry vacuums.
We can remove and disposal of any salvageable items affected by flooding including damaged flooring to prevent mould and rot.
Flood water can contain contaminants with raw sewage and pollutants. Our experts will clean and disinfect your premises to remove contaminants and reduce the risk of fungal growth.
Speedy drying process using dehumidifier units to thoroughly and quickly remove moisture from your property and help prevent mould growth and structural damage. If necessary we can remove malodours, neutralising the smell of damp & mould.
Flood restoration is the process of returning a property to its pre-flood condition after it has been damaged by water. This involves a multi-step process that typically includes:
A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land which is normally dry and can be categorised depending on the water source, the length of time it takes to flood and the location itself. Each type of flood has its own unique set of challenges, threats and damages, so each flood requires a tailored response. The different types of flooding include:
Flood water can contain sewage, bacteria, chemicals, and other hazardous materials that pose serious health risks. Exposure can lead to infections, respiratory problems, and other illnesses.
A professional post-flood cleanup service is the quickest and most effective way to recover following recent flooding. A flood restoration service will not only provide an expert response to effectively remove debris after a flood, but will ensure your property is safe from the threat of structural damage and is decontaminated to help reduce the health risks.

There is a range of things that you can do to begin to repair the damage left behind by floods. Flood cleaning is a dangerous task and there are some crucial steps you need to be aware of before you or anyone else begins the process of clearing up after extensive flooding. Here's what you need to know:
First, be safe - Before you do anything, switch off your electricity supply at the mains and do not touch any outlets. Consulting a qualified electrician is advisable.
Protect yourself - Flood water can often contain sewage, chemicals and animal waste, so wear protective clothing (including gloves and wellington boots) if you're in contact with it or contaminated items.
Prevent further damage - Equally shovel mud and silt deposits away from both sides of the wall, as removal from one side only could compromise the structure.
Clean - Clean all affected areas, including floors, walls, doors and surfaces with disinfectant to avoid odours or mildew.
Drying out - If you have gas or oil central heating then keep it on at around 20-22 degrees for steady drying.
It can also help to be aware of a potential flood warnings within your area, so you can put in place preventative measures such as sandbags and flood barriers.

Flood insurance coverage varies depending on the policy. It's crucial to contact your insurance provider to determine the extent of your coverage.
Safety first! Disconnect the power and avoid contact with flood water. Contact your insurance company and a professional flood restoration service like Rentokil Specialist Hygiene immediately.
The duration of the restoration process depends on the severity of the damage. It can range from a few days to several weeks. Our team can help to answer specific questions you may need to understand with flood damage restoration.
While it might be tempting to handle the cleanup yourself, it's strongly recommended to hire professionals. Flood water can be dangerous, and specialised equipment is often required for effective restoration.
Has the carpet or upholstery in your commercial premises been affected by flooding? Whether from water damage or localised flooding, carpets and upholstery can be difficult to clean and dry by yourself without the use of specialised equipment. Following water damage, it is recommended that any carpets and upholstery that are wet for more than 48 hours need to be removed and disposed of. To save them, have professional commercial carpet cleaning using a professional cleaning company to restore your furnishing as quickly as possible.
Floodwater can be full of contaminants which can impact the air quality of your premises, posing a serious health risk to the air you breathe. As part of our flood clean-up service, we will use ENVIROPure air purification units to deliver clean, purified air.
ENVIROPure air purification units help to remove malodours, allergens and bacteria in the air and are designed with a HEPA filter to tackle bacterial and fungal matter in an indoor area, and an activated carbon filter that helps tackle volatile organic chemicals within indoor air. Additionally, colour indication at the front of the unit gives you an instant insight into the air quality surrounding it, displaying real-time data that measures temperature, humidity, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and airborne dust particles.
