AFTER A FLOOD Switching on electricity and gas after a flood can be very dangerous, so it's important to get services checked by an expert. Modern wiring can withstand a short period of flooding, but if a property has been flooded for more than a few hours, it will probably need rewiring - downstairs at least. "My experience of flooding is that if water gets in, it never dries out completely, the plug sockets get saturated and have to be replaced and dampness goes into the c...ables," says Knight. An electrician will also give junction boxes, socket outlets, light switches and ceiling connections a thorough check to ensure there is no water trapped inside them. Of course it's not just water that can cause damage. "My plug sockets had dried poo inside them," says Dhonau of her 2000 flooding. Raw sewage and surface water rose to about 3ft. Her Flood Recovery Guide also advises making sure the gas is checked out as the meter, flues or ventilation systems might be damaged, even if appliances appear to be unaffected. When it comes to rewiring, placing sockets further up a wall can help protect a property from future flood damage. See more
