Following a flood, buildings and fatories may have sustained significant damage. Proper care and repair are crucial to prevent further damage and maintain the structure’s integrity.

Post-Flood Maintenance Steps

• Electrical System: Verify if the electrical system is functional and identify any damaged components.
• Plumbing System: Inspect pipes and plumbing fixtures for leaks or damage.
• Contents and Equipment: Evaluate the condition of items inside the building to determine if they can be salvaged or must be discarded.

Cleaning

• Remove Debris: Dispose of damaged items and clean away mud and debris from floors, walls, and ceilings.

Repairs

• Structural Repairs: Consult with a structural engineer for repairs to any cracks or damage to the building’s structure.
