Sudden downpours during Accra's rainy season can flood compounds, garages, and ground-floor rooms within minutes — especially in areas with poor drainage. What you do in the first 24 hours makes a big difference to how much damage is permanent.
The First 24 Hours
- ✓ Turn off electricity to affected rooms if it's safe to do so
- ✓ Move furniture, electronics, and rugs off wet floors immediately
- ✓ Photograph the damage for insurance or landlord records
- ✓ Open windows and doors to start air circulation
- ✓ Avoid walking through standing water if there's any electrical risk
Why Speed Matters
Mould can begin growing on wet drywall, wood, and fabric within 24–48 hours in Ghana's humidity. The longer water sits, the more likely you'll need to replace flooring, baseboards, or furniture instead of simply cleaning and drying them.
What Professional Flood Cleanup Includes
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Water extraction | Wet-vac removal of standing water |
| Mud & silt removal | Clearing compound, drains, and ground floors |
| Drying | Floors, walls, and furniture dried out |
| Sanitizing | Disinfecting fog treatment to prevent mould/bacteria |
| Odour treatment | Removing damp/mildew smells |
Fire & Smoke Damage
After a fire, soot and smoke residue settle on walls, ceilings, and fabrics even in rooms not directly burned. Professional cleanup removes soot before it stains permanently and treats smoke odour at its source rather than just masking it.
