It’s a simple fact of life in South East Queensland that summer means storms. And with thunderstorms come heavy rainfall, damaging winds, hailstones, and flash flooding – all of which can add up to substantial property damage.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN REMOVING FLOOR COVERINGS AFTER FLOODING:

As your cleanup begins, the team at All Preparation Equipment is here to help. We can offer you expert advice on the equipment you’ll need to get your business back up and running as quickly as possible after storm damage. With that being said, here are some things that you need to consider before heading out to clean your property.

1. Is there any pooling of water on the surface?
2. Do you need a squeegee (link to 910mm squeegee) to help move water out of the property in view of it drying out?
3. Are the walls damaged by water?
4. What fixtures, fittings, or furnishings have been damaged?
5. What else from the property can be salvaged?

It’s important to remove any pooling of water and wet furniture, mattress, or household items quickly as if these are left, they can quickly grow mold and bacteria which can then cause further problems or health issues if not dealt with properly.

HOW TO REMOVE MOISTURE FROM CONCRETE FLOORS AFTER FLOODING

Moisture is a huge problem for any home or property owner. That is why it is one of the main concerns after a storm or flooding. Removing moisture from a concrete floor is a tedious task as it can't be exposed directly under the sun unless your roof was destroyed prior. The cheapest way to do so is by opening all the windows and allowing air to flow inside. This is where your ventilation comes into play. However, one cannot assume that air will always blow. During these times, let All Preparation Equipment help you with our efficient dryers and machines. Choose from our range of industrial drying fans and vacuums.
