Plymouth & Devon · 24/7
Flooded by a storm or surface water? We come out any hour across Devon, pump the water out, and dry the place properly so it does not rot or go mouldy.
A coastal city on the Plym and the Tamar, Plymouth and the surrounding Devon towns face real flood risk from heavy rain, surface water running off the hills, tidal surges and overwhelmed drains. When it happens, fast, thorough work is what stops a flood becoming months of disruption.
A floor that looks dry on top can still be soaked underneath. Skip the drying stage and you invite rot, warping and mould weeks later. We measure moisture properly and only sign off when the readings are right, which also protects you if you ever need to prove the work to an insurer or buyer.
This trips people up when they claim. Water that comes in from outside, off Plymouth Sound, down the Plym or Tamar, or through drains overwhelmed in a downpour, is handled as flood. That is separate cover from the escape of water that deals with burst pipes indoors. Many Plymouth policies include flood cover through Flood Re. If you are not sure which one your claim falls under, our water damage insurance guide explains the difference.
Treat flood water as contaminated. Keep contact to a minimum, stay off the mains electrics in any flooded room, and wash well after clearing up. Floodline runs 24 hours for warnings and advice on 0345 988 1188. Then call us to pump it out and dry the property.
Flood claims can be stressful. We document the damage thoroughly, provide clear reports and photographs, and can liaise with your insurer directly so the claim moves while we get on with the work.
Mould starts growing within 24 to 48 hours of a leak. The sooner drying starts, the less damage and the lower the cost.

Yes. Flood water is often contaminated, so we extract it safely, disinfect the area and dispose of contaminated materials correctly.
We use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers and measure moisture in walls and floors, not just the surface, so the structure is dried all the way through.
Flood damage from the sea, rivers, drains or heavy rain falls under flood insurance, which is separate from the escape of water cover for burst pipes. Many Plymouth policies include flood cover through Flood Re.
Often yes. Flood water can carry sewage and other contaminants, so keep contact down, stay off the mains electrics in flooded rooms, and let professionals extract and disinfect it.
