Pro Trade South Wales has over ten years of combined experience dealing with water and flood damage in homes and commercial properties. In that time we have helped thousands of customers recover from every kind of flooding, clean water, grey water and the nastier black water. We bring the hands-on experience, the modern cleaning and drying kit, and a real commitment to getting you back into your property as quickly as possible.
The destructive power of water
Water is one of the most destructive things that can get into a building. Too much moisture, or a flood left standing, damages structure and contents fast, and it is worse still when the water is dirty or the clean-up is delayed.
Act quickly and you can cut that damage right down, especially in the first 24 to 48 hours. That is why we have friendly, dedicated staff ready to take your emergency call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. From furniture to the structure itself, we are here to save as much as we possibly can. We also work closely with a number of insurance companies to keep the whole process quick and straightforward.
Common causes we deal with:
- Broken pipes
- Sewer backups
- Sump pump failure
- Flooding
- Appliance failures
- and plenty more besides
Fire damage restoration
Fire damage restoration is the work of repairing and restoring a property hit by fire, smoke, and the water used to put the fire out. It takes several careful steps to make the building safe, stop further damage, and bring it back to the state it was in beforehand.
The key stages are:
- Assessment and inspection. We work out the full extent of the fire, smoke and water damage, then build a restoration plan around it.
- Board-up and tarping. Openings like windows and damaged roofs are secured to keep the weather and intruders out.
- Water removal and drying. Water from the firefighting is extracted, and dehumidifiers dry the affected areas.
- Soot and smoke removal. Specialist equipment and cleaning agents lift soot, smoke and odour out of surfaces and the air.
- Cleaning and sanitising. Furniture, carpets and belongings are cleaned, and surfaces disinfected to clear any lingering toxins.
- Repairs and reconstruction. Walls, ceilings, floors and other structural elements are repaired or rebuilt.
Timing really matters here. Move quickly and you head off secondary problems like mould, corrosion and permanent staining, which is why professional restoration is the safer, more efficient route back to normal.
Expert flood restoration: drying and reinstatement in Monmouth
When floodwater hits, every second counts. Recent events in Monmouth have shown just how devastating rising water can be, and they are a sharp reminder that professional help is not a nice-to-have. It is what protects your property's structure and its long-term value.
We handle complete flood restoration, from the first emergency response right through to the final reinstatement, so you can get back to normal and on with your day.
The immediate aftermath
When water floods a commercial or residential space, it soaks into every porous material it touches and leaves behind silt and dangerous contaminants. The damage is immediate, and left alone it only gets worse.
Our professional strip-out process
Before drying can do its job, we carry out a controlled strip-out to remove contaminated materials that cannot be saved. It is a critical step for heading off mould and structural rot.
- Systematic removal. We do not just clean the surface. We carefully strip out damaged flooring, skirting boards and plasterboard to expose the structure underneath.
- Total clean-up. Every last bit of mud and debris comes out. With the space back to bare bones, we move straight on to sanitation and deep drying.
Structural drying: bringing your property back to life
Once everything is stripped back, we bring in industrial-grade drying equipment. The focus is deep, structural drying, pulling moisture out of the building materials themselves rather than just off the surface.
Using a combination of heavy-duty dehumidifiers and professional heaters, we create the right conditions to stabilise moisture levels and stop secondary damage taking hold. By the time we reach the reinstatement stage, your property is dry, stable and secure.
