Two-foot floods hit the UK

Last week the UK suffered from two foot floods as a result of heavy rainfall - this story was covered by several different newspapers as they reported that the heavy rainfall was caused by the superstorm jet stream from Hurricane Joaquin in the Bahamas. Many highways were seriously hit, causing travel chaos on the motorways as many lanes were completely flooded:

Protecting Your Vehicles From Flood Damage | Flood Guard

Unfortunately, something that your car insurance does not cover is Flood Damage. RACQ advise that if your vehicle has been affected by floods (water reaching the height of the bottom of the doors) that you do not drive until you have had a full service to assure your safety.

However, something you can do, is protect your car from ever being damaged by flooding. Here at Flood Guard, we offer an Automatic Door Sealing System on your garage, specifically designed to protect your home or vehicle from the damage caused by floods.

Protect your vehicle against flood water at up to 1 metre in height for prolonged periods of time. Your garage is a really important part of your home to protect. Although this may not apply to everyone, many people keep many expensive pieces of equipment in the garage such as lawn mowers, bikes and power tools. The cost to replace all of these items after flood damage would be extremely excessive, that's before even taking any cars, motorbikes etc. into consideration.

People who are affected by floods pay on average at least £8,000 to fix all the damage left behind. This price is usually put together before the cost of replacing any damaged goods if you don't have home insurance. However, not even all home insurance policies cover many of the damages caused by floods.

Make sure your home is protected. If you feel your home may be at risk of flooding, contact us today, or visit http://www.floodguarduk.co.uk/
