Review: This book provides a definitive guide for professionals (insurers, damage specialist contractors etc.) involved in reinstating flood-damaged property to its previous condition. It provides benchmark standards for insurers for the technical repair of the property, allowing a clear determination of the standards required from contractors and subcontractors in the reinstatement supply chain. Loss adjustors will find the book a reliable source of information in determining the scope and quality of repair work. Homeowners will have a useful reference in assessing the quality of the services on offer by the insurance company. Chapters cover: preparing for a flood; flood characteristics; drying out flooded buildings; and the reinstatement of floors, walls, doors, windows and utilities and fittings.
