Flooding & Sewage Back Up Cleaning

Flooding and Sewage Back Ups can wreak havoc on Melbourne business and homeowners. Flood water damage to your home or work premises must be cleaned up and dealt with as a priority. Any type of floodwater damage in your home is unexpected and unfortunate; be it backed up water drains, water over flow or rainwater flooding. To prevent you property from suffering unwarranted Flood Water Damage to you floors, walls, structural elements of the property, and the possibility of bacteria, mould and odour, its it imperative you organise Flood Water Damage cleaning and restoration services quickly.

Melbourne Forensic Cleaning has formulated an easy-to-follow guideline for all Brisbane residents, homeowners and business owners providing advise on what to do in a flooding or sewage back up emergency.

 

Sewage Clean Ups Melbourne1.  Follow Flood Alerts

Websites such as www.bom.gov.au provides real-time and up-to-date emergency information for Melbourne and Victorian residents, specifically for those properties that may be affected by creek flooding or water in certain suburbs

2.  Create a Flood Kit

You flood kit should include a torch, warm or spare clothing and blankets, a first aid kit including any prescribed medications or prescriptions, bottled water and non-perishable food. Melbourne Forensic Cleaning also recommends you keep a copy of your insurance documents in your flood kit.

3.  Take Extra Care

We’ve all heard the ads, ‘If it’s flooded, forget it’, which should always be adhered to. Just 15cms of fast-flowing water has enough energy to knock an adult off their feet and as little as 30cm can sweep a vehicle away. Do not enter floodwater unless it is an absolute emergency. If you become stranded, do not attempt to wade through floodwater. Instead, call emergency services to await rescue and/or evacuation.

4.  Find a High Place

If you are caught outside when flooding threatens or is imminent, find the highest possible ground to wait out the flood. If you’re inside, move any essential items either upstairs or to higher points, including you flood kit.

5.  Turn Off the Gas, Electricity and Water Supplies

If you property if threatened with flooding, turn off the supplies. Do not touch, move or turn off any electrical items if water has already entered your property

 

After The Flood

1.  Only enter your property when the emergency services have confirmed that it is safe to do so

2.  Be careful – if there is still water present it can hide dangers such as structural damage, debris and contaminated waste

3.  Take photos of any damage and contact you insurance company

4.  Call Melbourne Forensic Cleaning
