Flood Damage

One of the most devastating things that can happen to your home or business is flood damage. When flooding happens it is extremely upsetting, however that is only the beginning. If many properties are flooded at the same time there can be problems in appointing contractors who can deal with flood damage and the quality of repairs can suffer as a consequence.
In Carlisle in Cumbria severe floods occurred in January 2005, over 2 years after the floods subsided there were still builders and skips on Warwick Road. Many of the residents suffered because the dated construction practices employed meant that in some cases the unfortunate residents were stuck in caravans and B&B’s for over two years.

Case Studies

River flood damage

In 2007 our senior surveyor was called to one property in central Carlisle where a firm of flood recovery specialists (who also happen to be a firm of carpet cleaners!) were insisting they could not arrange replastering of a flood damaged house they had pulled to bits until it had sufficiently dried out. The home owner had been hearing this same old excuse for months and decided to get a professional opinion. Our senior surveyor was duly instructed and carried out calcium carbide tests at several key positions throughout the house. The resultant readings were normal, the house was in fact within the normal expected moisture levels for a house of this type and was able be replastered immediately. Our surveyor asked the home owner exactly how tests had been done by the other firm, the home owner pointed to the tell tale signs of where the test samples had been taken, our surveyor was amazed to discover they had been carrying out tests below the damp proof course (where most old properties are continually damp anyway), the home owners had consequently been out of their home for several months due to an inexperienced contractors error. Who knows how long that would have continued had our experienced surveyor not been called in.
