Totally Blocked Drains – FAQ’s
Flood Pumping and Cleanup – Frequently Asked Questions
What is flood pumping and cleanup?
Flood pumping and clean-up refers to the process of removing water and cleaning up the damage caused by flooding, typically caused by heavy rainfall, overflowing rivers or other bodies of water, or coastal storm surges.
How does flood pumping work?
Domestic and commercial flood pumping is a process used to remove water from flooded homes or small residential properties. This process typically involves the use of a submersible pump or a portable pump that can be easily moved around the house.
The pump is placed in the flooded area and connected to a hose that transports the water to a safe location, such as a nearby drainage system or retention pond. The pump is operated by a professional, who ensures that the water is being pumped out effectively and safely.
Before starting the process, the electric power supply to the flooded area will be cut off to avoid any electrocution hazard.
The pump operator will assess the extent of the flood, the size of the area affected, and the type of pump required for the job. The water will be pumped out until the area is dry, and the affected surfaces will be disinfected and cleaned to prevent mould growth.
At Totally Blocked LTD, our emergency engineers are fully insured and qualified to restore your property from water damage.
What equipment do you use for flood pumping and cleanup?
We use a variety of equipment including submersible pumps, trash pumps, and vacuum trucks to remove water from flooded areas. We also use specialized cleaning and disinfecting equipment to clean and sanitize affected areas.
How long does the flood pumping and clean-up process take?
The duration of the process depends on the extent of the flooding and the size of the affected area. Typically, the process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days to complete.
How can I prevent flooding in my home or business?
There are a few steps you can take to prevent flooding in your home or business such as installing sump pumps, sealing foundation cracks, and making sure your gutters and downspouts are clear. Additionally, it is a good idea to have a flood plan in place in case of an emergency.
What is the cost of emergency flood clear-up?
The cost of our emergency clean-up service is dependent on the severity of the flood damage and the extent of the clean-up. Prior to starting work we can provide you with an accurate cost of any remedial work. However, our aim is to deliver the best possible service at a price that doesn’t break the bank.
What are the health and safety issues around flooding?
Depending on the type of floodwater and the flood’s severity, different health and safety issues may exist after flooding. As a result of interacting with untreated sewage and other contaminants, floodwater can become contaminated. The risk of contracting viruses, bacteria, and fungi are among the dangers of coming into contact with any kind of floodwater. To prevent any direct contact with floodwater, it is safest to use protective clothes, such as waterproof boots and gloves.
Flooding may disrupt gas, electrical, and appliance systems, increasing the risk of explosion and electrical shock.
Water damage can also weaken a building to the point where the walls and ceiling give way. To evaluate the degree of any damage, it is crucial to conduct a thorough inspection of the property.
Is it essential to use a professional company for the clean-up?
Strictly no, however using a professional company to deal with a flooding emergency is the best way to ensure it is done both safely and effectively. Using drainage experts will ensure debris and waste is removed effectively and safely while protecting your property from structural damage.
