This time it will take more than a few dehumidifiers and some carpet.
Plaster work is bulging up to 600mm above floor level and we are seeing
more and more dehumidifiers as I write this..
Sh*t happens, but I would have bet a months salary that it would not be us.

This is a lot worse than your last post indicated and I really feel
for you now. That you haven't even mentioned the garden this time is
significant as, to some extent, the garden flooding last time got as
much of your attention as the house.

If plaster is blowing to 600mm then you've got a long haul in front of
you as the walls will need to be dried out and probably replastered to
at least a meter above floor level. Then drying before redecoration.
I'm guessing your walls are plastered and not dry-lined..

Dave L has mentioned the electrics but I'm hoping that as you've got a
concrete slab ground floor (if you had wood over void you wouldn't be
back in yet after the last flood) your electrics are down the wall
from the ceiling void above which would hopefully just mean a drying
period and replacement of the socket fronts etc.

Keep us in the loop and remember that whilst we can't do anything
practical to help, we're thinking about you and your family and
sending emotional support across the internet airwaves.
