Cockton’s Yard - Cockermouth Floods

Following the December/January flooding in Cumbria, and in the middle of the biggest surge in flood claims in recent history, our team was asked to dry 8 properties using our advanced, high energy drying technique.

As Storm Desmond continued to wreak havoc throughout the region, we were able to simultaneously dry all 8 properties at Cockton's Yard, Cockermouth, in just 11 days; a phenomenal achievement, particularly considering the fact that we were also running a further 7 similar projects elsewhere across the UK.

Yet, with largest fleet of trailer-mounted boilers in the UK, Xeric Limited were able to provide another cost effective, rapid-reaction solution to an important new client.

Our swift reaction time meant that the building reinstatement works could begin much quicker than if a conventional drying method had been adopted. The reduction in the claim life cycle ultimately reduced the cost of the claim and, most importantly, ensured that the policyholder could return to their home in the quickest time possible.
