Flood and water damage in Cork, street by street

A Cork site about what happens to a building once water gets in, and who to ask about getting it dry.

Cork has mapped river and tidal flood risk on OPW FloodInfo.ie, across the Lee catchment and around the harbour. Those maps describe streets, not the inside of any one house.

The Lee floodplain streets in the city, Blackrock and the Marina, Douglas, Ballincollig, Carrigaline, Cobh, Passage West, Glounthaune, Bandon and Midleton on the Owenacurra.

After a flood or a leak, the questions are about the wet carpet, whether the walls will dry on their own and what the insurer will want to see.

Extraction, assessment, drying, mould work and the claim file are separate jobs. Splitting them means the firm that calls you knows which stage you are at.
