What to do in the case of Fire or Flood Damage

In the event of a pipe burst, fire/smoke damage or following flood waters entering a property, there are a number of precautions which can be taken by the householder to limit damage and danger to occupants.

Fire or Smoke Damage

Following a fire or smoke damage occurrence:

Have an expert confirm the property is safe to enter
Switch off electricity, heating & water if necessary
Open windows for ventilation
Don't attempt to clean or move items as they may be damaged further
Discard of any food & packaging (noting the contents)
Cover carpeted areas and couches if possible, if these are used soot particles may become embedded in the material
Switch off all electrical appliances and do not use them until they have been approved for use by a professional contractor

Flood or Escape of water occurrence

Following a flood or an escape of water damage occurrence:

Switch off the electricity at the meter, heating & water if necessary
If water is thought to be unsanitary do not come into contact with it
Have a plumber carry out emergency repairs to leaking pipes
Remove small quantities of standing water with towels
When the flood waters have receded if possible lift couches, tables & chairs from the floor and place tin foil beneath the legs (this will prevent water from being absorbed further by the items)
