Emergency Escape of Water Response

An escape of water is any unplanned release of water inside a building, including failed pipework, appliance connections, tanks, heating systems and internal plumbing fittings.

Water Extraction After Water Damage

Water extraction removes free-standing water and water that can be mechanically recovered from affected surfaces or materials.

Burst Pipe Water Damage

A burst pipe can release a large volume of water in a short period and affect several rooms or floors before the supply is isolated.

Ceiling Leak Water Damage

A ceiling leak may originate from a bathroom, appliance, pipe, roof or tank above.

Appliance Leak Drying

Appliance leaks can be sudden or remain concealed behind fitted units for an extended period.

Flood Damage Drying

Flood damage can involve a large water load, several rooms and a mixture of construction materials.

Pipe Leak Water Damage

A pipe leak does not need to be dramatic to cause extensive damage.

Leaking Radiator Water Damage

Radiator leaks may come from valves, pipe connections, corrosion or concealed heating pipework.

Boiler and Heating System Leak Drying

Boiler and heating-system leaks can affect cupboards, kitchens, plant areas, flooring, walls and rooms below.

Water Tank and Loft Leak Drying

A loft tank or upper-level plumbing failure can release water above insulation and ceilings before the incident is discovered.

Bathroom Leak Water Damage

Bathroom leaks may come from supply pipes, wastes, baths, showers, toilets, basins or failed connections.

Internal Drying After a Roof Leak

A roof leak can affect insulation, roof timbers, ceilings, walls and upper-floor finishes.

Category

Assessment and structural drying

Moisture surveys, monitored drying programmes and equipment matched to the affected building materials.

Residential Water Damage Drying

Water damage in a home can affect far more than the visible surface.

Commercial Structural Drying

Commercial structural drying is the controlled reduction of moisture retained within the building fabric of a business or managed property.

Moisture Surveys and Water Damage Assessments

A moisture survey establishes where water has travelled, which materials are affected and whether further investigation or drying is required.

Moisture Mapping and Monitored Drying

Moisture mapping records conditions at defined points so drying progress can be judged consistently over time.

Dehumidification and Air Movement

Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air, while air movers increase airflow across wet surfaces and through selected spaces.

Underfloor and Subfloor Drying

Water can remain beneath a floor after the surface has been wiped, extracted or appears dry.

Concrete Floor Drying

Concrete can retain moisture after the surface appears dry, particularly where water has remained beneath coverings or moved across a slab.

Screed Drying After Water Damage

Floor screed can retain moisture beneath coverings and within insulated floor systems after a leak.

Timber Floor Drying

Timber flooring can absorb moisture, swell, cup, distort or trap water within the floor build-up.

Plaster and Plasterboard Drying

Plaster and plasterboard respond differently to water depending on construction, exposure time, contamination and whether insulation or voids sit behind them.

Basement and Cellar Water Damage Drying

Basements and cellars can be difficult to dry because they are below ground, have limited ventilation and may contain dense masonry, concrete and stored contents.

Category

Residential property services

Drying for flats, HMOs, landlord, tenant, vacant and multi-unit residential situations.

HMO Water Damage Drying

Water damage in an HMO can affect several occupants, bedrooms, shared bathrooms, kitchens and common areas.

Water Damage Services for Landlords

A landlord dealing with water damage needs to control the source, protect the property, communicate with the tenant and establish whether the work is private or insurance-supported.

Vacant Property Water Damage Drying

A leak in a vacant property may remain undiscovered for hours or days, allowing water to travel through several rooms and materials.

Multi-Unit Water Damage Drying

Multi-unit water damage affects more than one flat, room, tenancy or property zone.

Insurance Claim Drying Support

A water-damage claim may involve the policyholder, insurer, claims handler, loss adjuster, plumber, drying contractor and reinstatement contractor.

Commercial Insurance Water Damage Drying

Commercial water-damage claims require clear authority, scope, access and communication between the policyholder, property team, insurer and loss adjuster.

Drying Progress Reports

A drying progress report explains how the programme is developing between the initial assessment and completion.

Drying Completion Reports

A drying completion report summarises the monitored areas, final recorded conditions, equipment removal and any remaining limitations.

Controlled Removal of Unsalvageable Materials

Controlled removal is the planned opening-up or removal of materials that cannot reasonably be retained, prevent access to concealed moisture or have lost the condition needed for safe reinstatement.

Water Damage Reinstatement

Reinstatement is the repair phase after the affected structure has reached an appropriate condition for the agreed work.

Reducing Mould Risk After Water Damage

Mould risk increases when building materials remain damp and conditions support growth.
