The problem with many of the current drying systems is that rooms have to be sealed whilst drying takes place. This can be very inconvenient and delay the whole reinstatement process. Many of the targeted drying systems that are designed to speed up drying are easy to puncture or damage or cause trip hazards. This […]
Drying a floor that has been flooded or affected by water damage can be a lengthy process. It can also cause inconvenience as it may involve sealing a room completely which means occupants having to relocate. For any business or home that has suffered flooding or water damage, it can be costly to relocate. This […]
Flooding in the UK is becoming more and more common. Work is being done to understand why flooding has increased and how to prevent it, but until a solution is found more homes and businesses will continue to be affected. As the cost of flood damage keeps increasing year on year, insurance premiums keep rising. […]
Winter has arrived in the UK and already the flood warnings have begun. Year on year properties across the country are affected by severe flooding, whilst residents question why more isn’t being done to protect homes and businesses. Many argue that our flood defences just aren’t adequate and that more should be put in place […]

When it comes to flooding we often focus on the major task of drying out buildings. Whilst this is certainly a priority, there is also the potential to salvage individual furniture items. If you do decide to take the time to save individual items then there are some things you need to consider. Can it […]
Often when we suffer severe flooding the focus is on homes that have been damaged and the residents that suffer as a result. What can get overlooked are the devastating effects that floods can have on businesses too.
