🔧 DIY Tips
Using a pump yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Submersible pump
- Outlet hose (long enough)
- Extension lead (kept dry)
- Somewhere for water to go
📐 Pumping tips
- Position pump at lowest point
- Run outlet hose well away
- Check pump intake isn't blocked
- Watch for debris clogging
- Squeegee final amounts
⚠️ Critical safety
- Electricity OFF in flooded area
- Keep pump motor dry
- Use RCD-protected power
- Don't stand in water with electrics
💡 Pro trick: A wet/dry vacuum handles the last inch that pumps can't reach. Pumps need minimum depth to work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to hire a pump separately?
No - we bring everything needed. The service includes the pump, hoses, and us operating it. One call, one price, job done.
How much water can you pump?
Our pumps handle typical domestic flooding - basements, garages, ground floors. For industrial-scale flooding, specialist equipment is needed.
Where does the water go?
Into drains, gardens, or away from the property. We position outlet hoses where water can safely drain away without causing problems elsewhere.
How long does pumping take?
Depends on volume and depth. A flooded garage might take an hour, a basement could take several. We stay until the water's gone.
