Flooding is a major challenge in the UK, posing a risk to health, safety and well-being, and resulting in widespread damage to property. In the autumn 2000 floods, 10 000 properties were flooded at more than 700 locations at a cost of c£1BN. With the effects of climate change and increased societal pressures on the country’s infrastructure and services, the risks of flooding are predicted to increase considerably.
Flood damage to properties can range from minor effects on walls, floors, basements and services to serious structural damage to buildings. However, practical steps can be taken to reduce the cost of flood damage and to speed up recovery times should the flood return. This guide contains illustrations of damage, surveys, drying and decontamination, and repair work to buildings. Appendices include guidance to homeowners, technical information, key organisations that can advise on flooding and information on the provision of insurance.
