What to do after a flood

If you are trapped or stranded on your property after a flood, you should contact emergency services for rescue. If you accidentally touched or ingested any floodwater, you must visit a hospital or emergency clinic for an assessment.

However, if you are returning to the property after evacuation, you must not enter your home unless it is safe to. Before returning, you should talk to emergency services to ensure it is not dangerous. There may be standing water around your home that has caused power lines to become loose or leak gas.

If you spot any damage around the exterior like chipped or cracked brickwork, a building inspector must evaluate the property first to assess if it is safe to enter. You can also talk to your insurance provider and follow their advice before proceeding with the following:

• Protecting yourself with rubber gloves, boots, face masks, goggles, and waterproof trousers
• Recording evidence of damage for insurance
• Discarding contaminated water, food, medicines, and cosmetics
• Removing wet and dirtied items to dry out
• Ventilating the home with open doors and windows
• Use dehumidifiers and air purifiers in ventilated rooms
• Contact a professional flood damage cleaning company near you

What issues can follow when water floods your home?

A home with poor ventilation and retains warmth can become a hotbed for bacterial and mould growth after a flood has invaded the premises. There may be an amount of humidity and excess moisture across the home other than the flooded or water-damaged rooms.

If floodwater stagnates in your home, mould might grow on the walls, ceilings, floors, and furniture. This accelerates if the property remains damp and warm, and mould growth will require immediate remediation.

As well as mould, there is the possibility that surfaces have become a breeding ground for infectious viruses such as salmonella and E. coli. These pathogens can multiply quickly without immediate decontamination and make your home an unsafe area to enter.

The health risks and dangers of floodwater

Floodwaters are dangerous to traverse due to the hidden risks lurking beneath the surface. The water might be deeper than you realise, and the current could be strong. There is also the possibility of debris and dangerous contaminants such as:

• Pests or wild animals
• Human or animal waste
• Chemical, biological, or radioactive waste
• Downed power lines or exposed fuse boxes
• Sharp or solid debris

• Skin rashes
• Gastrointestinal illness
• Wound infections
