Residential Water Damage Restoration in Hull

House types we see most

• Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Solid brick walls, lime plaster, suspended timber floors and a back extension. Slow to dry and easy to redecorate too soon.
• Interwar and postwar semis and council houses. Cavity walls, often with retrofitted insulation, and concrete ground floors. Some are non-traditional construction and need checking before we cut into them.
• Converted flats. One leak can reach several homes, and the question of whose insurance pays gets complicated.
• Newer homes. Plasterboard on studs and timber frames. Quicker to dry, but water spreads inside walls unseen.

What a home job involves

1. Make safe, stop the water and check the electrics.
2. Photograph and record everything before anything is moved.
3. Remove water and strip what can't be saved.
4. Dry the structure, with moisture readings on every visit.
5. Repair and redecorate once the readings say it's dry.

Living at home during the work

Many families stay put while drying equipment runs, particularly if the upstairs is dry and the kitchen and bathroom work. If they don't, most home policies include alternative accommodation. After the 2007 floods, the independent review found 6,300 people in Hull spent time in temporary accommodation, so insurers here know the drill.
