Flood Water Removal in Soham, Cambridgeshire

You might have tried using a small submersible pump you bought at a DIY shop, only to find it is barely making a dent in the volume of water. That is where we come in. We use high-capacity vacuum tankers and industrial-grade jet-vac units that can suck up thousands of litres of water in minutes. From flooded cellars in Ely to large-scale water ingress at commercial sites across East Cambridgeshire, our equipment handles the heavy lifting that smaller pumps simply cannot manage. We do not just move the water around; we extract it completely and transport it away for safe, licensed liquid waste management in line with Environment Agency rules.

Not all flood water is the same. If a drain has backed up or a sewer has overflowed into your garden or shop floor, you are dealing with what we call 'black water'. This is contaminated with bacteria and pathogens that pose a real risk to your health. Please do not try to clear this yourself without the right gear. Our team at Roberts Drainage Ltd is fully trained in handling hazardous waste. We use specialised sanitisation and disinfection techniques to make sure your space is not just dry, but safe to live or work in again. We will handle the cleanup and the disposal, so you can focus on getting your life back to normal.

Once the standing water is gone, the hidden moisture is your next enemy. Water hides under floorboards, gets trapped behind skirting boards, and soaks deep into masonry. If left alone, this leads to mould, rot, and that lingering damp smell that is so hard to shift. We provide comprehensive water damage restoration, ensuring the area is properly dried out and assessed for any structural issues. Because we understand the local geography—from the peaty soils around Wicken to the residential streets of Newmarket—we know exactly how the ground conditions here affect water ingress and how to help prevent it from happening again.
