1 in 6 properties are at risk of flooding.
However, the situation is poised to deteriorate as our climate warms, signifying that many individuals who have never considered themselves vulnerable to flooding might find themselves at risk within the next few years.
Flooding is a misery that brings with it terrible emotional and financial toll: homes and gardens ruined, irreplaceable possessions destroyed, businesses broken. More and more people are coming to realise that the threat of flooding is real: perhaps not this year, perhaps not next but a real and growing danger, nonetheless. With that growing realisation comes a feeling of helplessness:
What can we do to mitigate the threat?
How should we prepare?
What can we do to protect ourselves and our possessions?
And if the worst happens, how can we sooth the pain
The fear, the worry, the not knowing what to do for the best. We've been there, witnessing the devastating impact of floods on communities firsthand. But we also know that knowledge is power, and with the right guidance, we can all take proactive steps to protect what matters most and control what might at first glance appear uncontrollable.
The Flood Dr team understands the emotional and economic toll that floods can take on individuals and businesses alike.
However daunting the journey to flood resilience may feel to you right now, you’re not alone - we’re here to help.
