Building Conservation: Flood Damage |
| Flood Damaged buildings will take many months
or years to dry out following flooding. Further damage can be caused to
the building if the drying is not carried out carefully. Too rapid drying
can result in differential movement between materials leading to for instance,
cracking and spalling of masonry whereas if left to dry out too slowly
mould and timber decay may form causing further damage. EBS has years of experience in advising owners of flood-damaged buildings. Ensuring that the drying process is carefully managed to minimise damage to the building. EBS staff has been involved with environmental monitoring and drying out a range buildings following fire and flood damage including Hampton Court Palace, Windsor Castle, Cullen House, Guys Hospital and a range of public houses and historic buildings.

The solution EBS will carry out a detailed inspection of the property to identify the moisture distribution, the vulnerable materials and advise on the type of drying regime to minimise damage to the building and the time scale of the drying out period. |
