The Destructive Power of Water
One of the most destructive substance indoors is water, too much moisture or flooding can damage structures and property rapidly. More so if the water is unsanitary or a delay in clean up.
If intervention is swift and effective the damage can be sharply reduced, especially within the first 24-48 hours. Which is why we have dedicated and friendly staff to accept your emergency 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. From furniture to structural elements Pro-Trade is here to restore as much as possible.
We even work closely with several insurance companies to ensure a quick and efficient solution.

Fire Damage Restoration
Fire damage restoration is the process of repairing and restoring properties affected by fire, smoke, and water damage caused during firefighting efforts. It involves several critical steps to ensure safety, mitigate further damage, and restore the property to its pre-fire condition.
Key steps include:
-
Assessment and Inspection: Experts evaluate the extent of fire, smoke, and water damage to create a restoration plan.
-
Board-Up and Tarping: To prevent additional damage, openings like windows or roofs are secured.
-
Water Removal and Drying: Water from firefighting is extracted, and dehumidifiers are used to dry affected areas.
-
Soot and Smoke Removal: Specialised equipment and cleaning agents are used to remove soot, smoke, and odours from surfaces and the air.
-
Cleaning and Sanitising: Furniture, carpets, and belongings are cleaned, and surfaces are disinfected to eliminate toxins.
-
Repairs and Reconstruction: Structural elements like walls, ceilings, and floors are repaired or rebuilt.
Timely action is crucial in fire damage restoration to prevent secondary issues like mould growth, corrosion, or permanent staining. Professional restoration services are recommended for efficient and safe recovery.
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, making professional intervention more than just a recommendation - it’s vital if you want to protect your property’s structure and its long-term value.
At Pro Trade South Wales, we specialise in complete flood restoration. We handle everything from the initial emergency response right through to the final reinstatement, getting your space back to normal so you can get on with your day.
The Immediate Aftermath
The severity of a flood is clearly visible in the conditions shown in the images below . When water inundates a commercial or residential space, it saturates porous materials, leaving behind silt and dangerous contaminants.
Our Professional Strip-Out Process
Before any drying can effectively take place, a controlled strip-out is necessary to remove contaminated materials that cannot be salvaged. This is a critical step to prevent mould growth and structural rot.
How we deal with the clear-out:
Systematic removal: We don't just clean the surface. As you can see from our photos, we carefully strip out damaged flooring, skirting boards and plasterboard to expose the underlying structure.
Total cleanup: Our crew removes every bit of mud and debris from the property. With the space returned to bare bones, we can move on to professional sanitation and deep drying immediately as seen in the gallery.
Structural Drying: Bringing Your Property Back to Life
Once the affected areas are stripped back, we bring in industrial-grade drying equipment. We emphasise deep, structural drying to ensure moisture is removed from the surface and from the building materials themselves.
We use a combination of heavy duty dehumidifiers and professional heaters (as seen in the gallery images) to create the ideal environment to stabilise moisture levels. This stops any secondary damage in the long run, so when we come to start the reinstatement phase, your property is dry, stable and secure.
