Basement Floods

Basements are notorious for flooding, simply due to the nature of them being underground and therefore often beneath the water table. Additionally, they are often situated close to mains water pipes as well as sewage pipes, heightening the risk of basement floods should something go wrong.

Rapid Response to Basement Floods across the South East

The risk of flooding in basement spaces is particularly high due to being situated below ground level. In turn, the cost of basement flood restoration can easily skyrocket and combined with the increased rainfall of recent years, we predict that these types of floods will become more common. Fortunately, CPL t/a Rainbow Restoration are here to help. Our range of services include:

water extraction
specialist basement drying and cleaning
sanitising and mould removal
insurance building repairs
building reinstatement services
