Flood Water 101

When floodwaters come into your London home, whether it be from a summer storm or major flooding events, they contain contamination. 

Floodwaters are considered category 3 waters. 

What is category 3 water? 

Category 3 water contains anythings from bacteria, chemicals, sewage, and debris or dirt from the outside. If water gets in your London or Somerset home from flooding make sure to keep your family and pets away from it. 

What to do with your home in category 3 water?

The best way to handle category 3 water is to call a water damage restoration specialist. We are certified and trained with protective equipment and gear to get the water removed from floors, walls, and ceilings that have been contaminated. After the water is extracted, materials and structure that it touched will have to be promptly removed. 

Call the professionals to help with the floodwaters that have contaminated your London or Somerset home.
