water pump hire

Flooding can occur both indoors and outdoors for a variety of reasons. Indoor flooding is often caused by leaks in the roof, pipes bursting, appliance overflows and other water system failures. Outdoor flooding happens most often when heavy rains overwhelm drainage systems and cause nearby rivers, lakes, or the ocean to overflow onto the land. With a reliable pump hire, it can eliminate any damage or any hindrance to everyday business.

What to do when your office or facility leaks/floods?

If you experience flooding in your office or facility, it’s important to act quickly to minimise damage. The first priority should be safety – evacuate any flooded areas and do not enter standing water where live electrical wires may be submerged. Try to stop the water source if possible, by shutting off valves, unblocking drains, etc. Move furniture, electronics, files and valuables out of the flooded area so they are not damaged. Contact maintenance staff if the leak is inside the building, or the city public works department for exterior flooding. Report any serious flooding to your insurance provider promptly.
