Commercial Flood Damage, Sussex

Situation

A Warehouse in Sussex experienced flood damage after heavy rainfall coupled with a nearby blocked culvert, flooded the entire ground floor of the building.  The flood water caused significant flood damage not only to the warehouse, offices, kitchenette and toilets but it also damaged nearly all their warehouse stock too, which would have a detrimental effect on their business.

Inspection

Combining forces, both our branches worked together to deliver the best service for our client and attended the site the same day following instruction.  After an initial assessment of the situation, we proceeded to compile an inventory for our client to provide to their Loss Adjuster, given the extensive damage to their stock. We then removed the contents and disposed of any damaged items, whilst decontaminating the building, to ensure the drying process began in a sanitary manner.

Much of the contents and rooms were also contaminated by mould, so we removed mould from the damaged rooms then sanitised the areas. We stripped out the kitchenette, carpet tiles, lino, damaged doors, skirting boards and architraves then decontaminated the affected areas.
