Flood Damage Claims

Dealing with flood damage? We can help you with your water damage claim.

Experiencing water damage to your property can be a very traumatic and frightening experience. Flood damage can be the result of many factors like flash flooding, blocked drains, rivers bursting their banks etc.

No matter what the source, more often than not, flood water becomes contaminated with sewage and other pollutants. If you have experienced flood damage in your property, it is important that correct sanitation is carried out before water damage repairs take place.  Dehumidifiers can be installed after the strip-out to begin the drying process.

Comprehensive flood damage restoration advice and consultation.

If you have experienced flood damage at your property, your first instinct may be to have water damage repairs carried out as quickly as possible.  Insufficient drying and poor anti–fungal treatment can lead to wet and dry rot problems within the flood damaged property, long after the water damage has been dealt with.

When it comes to flood damage repair it is important to remove all affected plaster and timber work and to properly treat and dry out the premises before reinstatement works are undertaken. Balcombes have published a guide book ‘In the Event of a Flood; A Guide to Dealing with the Aftermath’.

Processing your flood damage claim quickly and efficiently.

Unexpected flood or water damage to your property can be a very stressful and upsetting experience.

Helping you to navigate a flood damage claim.

It is important to remember that anything you say to your insurance company at this stage may affect your flood damage claim. It is best practice to not dispose of anything until your property has been inspected by a loss adjuster (appointed by your insurance company). It is your responsibility to prove your loss so ensure that you do not disrupt your water damage claim by disposing of any evidence.

Your insurance company will employ a Loss Adjuster to ‘adjust’ your flood damage claim.  They are engaged by your insurance company to settle your claim as economically as possible.  Balcombes Claims Management are accustomed to dealing with flood damage claims.
