Flood Damage Advice


Have the electrics been checked following flood damage?

Water flows unpredictably from overhead leaks. Get electrical systems checked by a competent person following any flood damage. Richfords can arrange this for customers affected by flood damage.


Has storm water or sewage entered the property?

Storm or river-water flooding may contain sewage. Be very careful with personal hygiene following this type of flood damage. Consider relocating persons with weak immune systems, children and the elderly until the building is decontaminated.


Are important documents or photographs wet following flood damage?

For safekeeping these can be polythene wrapped, frozen and dealt with later. This will also prevent mould (mold) growth.


Is furniture standing on wet carpets?

Use saucers to prevent water soaking further up legs.


Need practical help at any time following flood damage?


Do you need practical advice at all times?
