JORAKAY CORPORATION SUPPORTS FLOOD-AFFECTED COMMUNITIES WITH FREE EXPERT ADVICE AND EMERGENCY HOME REPAIR SOLUTIONS
JORAKAY EXPERT provides free post-flood home assessments and advice, alongside special discounts on more than 30 cleaning, repair and protection products
Bangkok, Jorakay Corporation Co., Ltd., a leading provider of innovative construction, repair and finishing solutions, is extending its support to communities affected by flooding under its vision, “Build Today, Beyond Tomorrow.” Following its initial relief efforts, which included donations of essential supplies and 4,000 bottles of clean drinking water, the company is now focusing on the critical post-flood recovery phase.
Through “JORAKAY EXPERT Home Clinic: After the Flood, Your Home Must Recover – Let JORAKAY Help,” the company is providing free advice through a series of Facebook Live sessions led by its JORAKAY EXPERT team. The initiative offers homeowners guidance on assessing flood-related damage, determining appropriate repair solutions and planning the recovery process safely and effectively.
Jorakay is also offering special discounts on its “Emergency Home Repair” product range, covering more than 30 products across three key categories: cleaning, repair and restoration, and protection. The initiative is designed to help reduce the financial burden on affected households and enable them to restore their homes and return to everyday life as quickly and safely as possible.
Dr. Jirat Sirichalermpong, Chief Executive Officer of Jorakay Corporation Co., Ltd., said that the company has been closely monitoring the situation and providing ongoing support to communities affected by heavy rainfall and flooding. “During the initial emergency, we provided essential supplies and clean drinking water to help ease the immediate impact on affected communities. However, once the water recedes, another major challenge begins: restoring homes as close as possible to their pre-flood condition.”
“Some damage may not be immediately visible, ranging from electrical systems and walls to floors, doors and windows. Prolonged exposure to moisture can affect both interior and exterior areas of a home. JORAKAY is therefore bringing its expertise in construction, repair and building materials to support homeowners throughout the post-flood recovery process.”
A key component of the campaign is providing free professional advice on the initial assessment of flood-affected homes, including recommendations on how to inspect damage and determine the appropriate order of repairs. This is particularly important in preventing homeowners from rushing into repairs while moisture may still be trapped within the structure or building materials.
The JORAKAY EXPERT team will provide guidance tailored to the actual condition of each home. Jorakay is also offering special discounts on its “Emergency Home Repair” range, including products for cleaning, post-flood repair and restoration, and protection against future rainfall.
The cleaning range includes JORAKAY General Cleaner, JORAKAY Grout Cleaner and JORAKAY Algae Remover. Repair and restoration solutions include JORAKAY Gold Tile Adhesive, JORAKAY Turbo Plus Grout, JORAKAY Repair Mortar, JORAKAY Floor Smooth Patch, JORAKAY Poly-U Seal, JORAKAY Silicone Seal N Plus and JORAKAY Adhesive Nails.
For longer-term protection, products include JORAKAY Flex Shield, JORAKAY Eco Shield, JORAKAY Roof Shield and JORAKAY Fiber Mesh 8×8, among others. Together with expert guidance, these solutions are intended to help homeowners identify the right materials and repair methods based on the actual condition of their homes.
Six Key Steps for Post-Flood Home Recovery
For households beginning the recovery process after floodwaters recede, Jorakay recommends checking the safety of the property and its systems before starting any cleaning or repair work. Six key areas should be addressed:
1. Document the damage before beginning repairs
Homeowners planning to make an insurance claim should photograph or record videos of all damage to the property and belongings before moving items, cleaning or making repairs. Related expenses should also be documented, and homeowners should check their insurance provider’s claims procedures and policy conditions.
2. Check electrical systems before switching them on
If floodwater has reached electrical outlets, switches, circuit breaker panels or electrical appliances, homeowners should not attempt to turn them on themselves. A qualified electrician or relevant professional should inspect the system first.
3. Inspect the property for structural or other abnormalities
Check for cracks, settlement, uneven floors or walls, and doors or windows that no longer open or close normally. If there are signs of potential structural damage, professional inspection should be carried out before the property is used.
4. Check walls and floors before repairing or refinishing
Surfaces exposed to floodwater may retain moisture. They should be allowed to dry thoroughly and the condition of the existing materials should be assessed before plastering, painting, tiling or carrying out other surface repairs.
5. Check for mould and contamination
Ensure adequate ventilation, wear appropriate protective equipment when cleaning, and properly remove damaged or contaminated materials, particularly in areas where moisture remains trapped.
6. Follow the correct repair sequence or seek professional advice
Homeowners should address the underlying causes of damage and ensure that affected areas are dry and safe before beginning decorative or finishing work. Following the correct sequence can help reduce the risk of recurring problems over the long term.
In cases involving severe cracking, structural settlement, tilting or suspected structural damage, homeowners should avoid using the affected area and arrange for qualified professionals to conduct an inspection before re-entry.
“For JORAKAY, disaster relief does not end when the floodwaters recede. Our support continues until people can return to their homes with confidence,” said Dr. Jirat. “We believe the expertise of JORAKAY EXPERT can be put to meaningful use for communities and all stakeholders, helping ensure that recovery is carried out correctly, safely and sustainably.”
