After flooding or water damage

Cleaning after water damage in the Canton of Zug.

We can clean affected rooms and surfaces as soon as the cause is fixed, acute hazards are excluded, standing water is removed and the area is cleared. Before a commitment, we clarify what has happened, which materials are affected and which work has already been done by specialist bodies.

The correct order

First secure, then dry, then clean.

Water can affect electricity, components and indoor air. A cleaning company must therefore not simply start as long as cause or risks are unexplained.

1. Cause and danger

  • Stop water supply or leakage by competent body
  • Clarifying electrical and building security
  • Remove standing water properly

2. Drying and release

  • induce technical drying if necessary
  • Technical assessment of components and moisture
  • Release area for cleaning work

3. Cleaning

  • absorb affected areas and residues
  • Testing materials and accessible areas
  • Agree on specific scope of services

Possible scope

Cleaning after technical safety.

After a flood or water damage, polluted soil, accessible surfaces and agreed rooms can be cleaned. Sludge, dirt or loose residues are processed only if material, access and occupational safety permit safe execution.

Clearance or disposal can be arranged separately. Disposal costs are shown with the corresponding document.

Documentation and insurance

Secure documents first before cleaning up.

Photograph affected rooms, properties and visible damage before anything is changed. Then clarify with administration, landlordship or insurance, which works are approved and which proofs are needed.

KRIZANOVIC does not decide whether insurance covers costs. We can trace the agreed cleaning scope and executed work in quote and invoice.

Frequently asked questions

What must be clarified first after a water damage.

In case of acute danger, the instructions of the fire brigade, administration, building insurance or competent specialist office always apply.

When can cleaning begin?

Only when the cause is corrected, acute hazards are excluded, standing water is removed and the affected areas are released by the responsible body for cleaning.

Does KRIZANOVIC take over the technical drying?

No. Leak detection, repair, electrical safety, technical drying, mould treatment and assessments are in the hands of the appropriate specialists.

What should be documented for insurance?

Affected persons should photograph damage before cleaning and clarify the further procedure with administration, landlord or insurance. The costs shall be borne by the competent body.

Assessing the situation safely

Describe cause, affected areas and previous status.

We openly say whether we can take over the cleaning or whether another specialist office is necessary first. We do not give an immediate operational guarantee.
