Road Floodwater Clean-Up
Standing water or floodwater on roads can be a common occurrence. Not always caused by excess rainfall, standing water on a road can be indicative of a larger drainage problem. In such cases, we will not only remove the floodwater but also carry out a CCTV drain survey to identify the cause and advise you on any drain repairs required to prevent further flooding.

Floodwater Extraction FAQs
What causes flooding?
What should I do immediately after water damage?
After experiencing water damage, it’s crucial to act quickly to minimise further harm. First, ensure the safety of everyone involved by avoiding standing water, especially if there’s a risk of electrical shock. Next, identify and stop the source of the water, such as turning off the main water valve if it’s a burst pipe. Document the damage by taking photos and videos of all affected areas and contact your insurance company if needed.
Then, begin removing the water using pumps or wet vacuums to prevent structural damage and mould growth. Metro Rod can help with this if the water is too much to drain by yourself. Once the water is gone, dry out the affected area thoroughly by using fans, dehumidifiers and opening windows. Finally, clean and disinfect all affected areas to prevent health risks. Taking these steps promptly can help mitigate the damage and speed up the recovery process.
How long does it take for floodwater to drain naturally?
The time for floodwater to naturally drain depends on the flood’s cause; flash floods may drain in hours, while natural floods can take days or weeks. Floods from drainage system issues may continue until repairs are made, requiring action to prevent further damage. Metro Rod’s fleet of tankers can help with water extraction for quicker recovery. For assistance, call 0800 66 88 00.
How long does it take for a flooded property to dry?
Once the water has drained, a flooded property can dry in anywhere from a handful of hours to a few days. The water can be removed in a more expedient way using a tanker, and this will aid with the recovery process. Once the water has been removed, making sure the property is well–ventilated can help ensure it dries with minimal disruption.
What specialist equipment is used to remove floodwater?
At Metro Rod, we use specialist 2,000-gallon tankers with four-inch hose pipes to clear floodwater. Using tankers with large hoses can make sure that both large and small flooded areas can be catered for. Using specialist tankers ensures that the floodwater can be removed as effectively as possible.
How much does water extraction cost?
How much it costs to extract floodwater will vary depending on a couple of factors. How large the flood is and how big a space it occupies will help determine how long it will take to remove the water. At Metro Rod, we specialise in removing unwanted water as quickly and efficiently as possible and always provide a fair, competitive price.
