As evidenced by the unprecedented levels of flooding which have occured in recent years in Great Britain, the reality of climate change is upon us. Torrential rains – which are becoming the norm due to climate change- can cause record levels of flash flooding.

The reality is that for some people flooding is a fact of life, yet flood protection often doesn’t figure in our thoughts until it is too late. The association of British insurers state “there are more than 2 million homes at risk from coastal or inland flooding, that’s 10% of the total homes in the UK” and that “climate change could increase the number of properties at risk of flooding to 3.5 million”. This prediction is becoming true!

To modernise the sewer and drainage systems to cope with the change in our climate will take years; but there is a flood defense system that you can use to protect your property from flooding.

The Flood Ark Flood Protection System is the best way to protect your property. For commercial properties the Flood Ark system allows for insurers to provide cover for businesses where once they may have refused.
