Re: Flood Problems
My house was flooded about 15 years ago. The whole downstairs was under a foot of water. Fortunately I was fully insured. It took a week for the house to dry out, during which the Insurance company put us up in a 4 star hotel. Every item of furniture was written off and all the skirting boards and doors had to be replaced. The final bill was over £40k.
We counted our blessings that everything we lost was replaceable, and North West Water subsequently spent a fortune making sure our area wouldn't flood again. I put the house on the market a few months later and we moved to a safer area.
I think that's the thing that would worry me most - if there was the slightest chance that it could happen again. So my heart goes out to those who have been flooded again...and again.
