Equipped to Handle Urban & Rural Floods

Rural and urban areas pose different challenges when it comes to flood response, challenges we have the experience and equipment to tackle. Likewise, our versatility means we take on jobs of all sizes: from a flooded bedroom to an entire field that needs to be drained and irrigated.

Residents of Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, however severe the flooding, should keep in mind that acting fast is essential; the longer standing water is present, the more serious the extent of the damage can be as water sets into foundations, or absorbs hazardous pathogens that add an extra dimension to flood response. A flooded home can be an incredibly stressful and even traumatic experience; flooded businesses also have to think about loss of income. So choose Northants Waste Control to help you get the situation in hand, minimising long-term damage and ensuring things get back to normal ASAP.

What You Can Do in a Flood Situation…

While you may lack access to the high-powered equipment and vehicles that we use in these situations, there are still a few flood response measures we’d recommend residents of Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire take:

  • Disable Utilities – If you can safely reach access points for utilities – but always ere on the side of caution – then shutting off gas, electricity and water supplies is a good idea. Never touch electrical sources while standing in water.
  • Relocate Valuables – If flood water isn’t posing an active risk to safety or rising to dangerous levels, move essentials and valuables to higher ground to save them from serious damage.
  • Wash Hands – Flood water can contain contaminates, especially when it’s risen up through a sewage system. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly following any contact.
